Not a Happy Family

Description
Brecken Hill, a wealthy enclave in upstate New York, is a place where opulent homes stand as silent witnesses to hidden lives. Fred and Sheila Merton, residents of this exclusive community, possess fortunes that cannot shield them when a killer arrives. Following a tense Easter dinner with their three adult children, the Mertons are found brutally murdered.
Devastation washes over the family, or so it seems. Each sibling stands to inherit millions, a fact that casts a shadow over their grief. This was never a happy family, scarred by a vindictive father and an uncaring mother. Now, the question lingers: did one of the siblings, harboring deep-seated resentments, finally snap? Or did an outsider enter the picture later that night, bringing unimaginable violence?
If one of their own were capable of such a heinous act, surely someone would know. Wouldn't they? Shari Lapena, author of The Couple Next Door and The End of Her, crafts a chilling domestic suspense where secrets are buried deeper than wealth.
