Written by Karen M. McManus
24 years ago, Milly, Jonah, and Aubrey’s parents were abruptly disinherited by their mother. The only explanation was a note from the lawyer that said, “You know what you did.” Milly and her cousins are surprised when she receives an invitation to work at her maternal grandmother’s resort. When they get there, they discover that they weren’t expected and that someone already wants them gone. With a dark past to uncover about their family, will the trio figure it out before it’s too late? What really happened 24 years ago?
Full of twists and turns, this book is an intense mystery thriller that will keep readers guessing how it will end. Characters are intriguing and not what they seem. The plot is masterfully well-written and full of complexity. Readers who like mysteries, thrillers, and family secrets will want to pick this one up.
