Good story about 3 sisters who come home to celebrate their parents anniversary, and instead attend their father's funeral and find their mother in jail for his murder... The come together to find out what went wrong... very enjoyable story
The Seagrave sisters were about to come home to celebrate the fortieth anniv. of their parent's marriage. Instead they are attending the funeral of their father and their mother's trial for his murder
A shot is fired one night and a husband is left dead. His devoted wife of forty years is jailed for his murder. The sleepy seaside town of Miramonte, California, reels from the shocking news. Vernon and Lydia Seagrave appeared to be the ideal couple, still in love as they approached the eve of their ruby anniversary. What could have gone wrong?
The Seagraves are among the most enviable couples living in Miramonte, California. On the eve of their fortieth wedding anniversary, and just as much in love with each other today as they were on the day they married - until the night Lydia Seagrave picks up a gun and shoots her husband. Novelist Daphne - the couple's oldest daughter - returns home and is forced to contend not only with her father's murder but also with her undeniable feelings for the only man she has ever loved - the District Attorney who is prosecuting her mother.
The Seagraves' youngest daughter Alex's loyalty lies with her father, and she is determined to vindicate him no matter what the cost to her relationships with her sisters and her mother. Alex is convinced that her mother is a murderess, and that Lydia deserves to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Kitty - the middle daughter - sets out to vindicate her mother and enters headlong into a passionate love affair with a younger man.
As the devastated sisters come together to unravel the truth about their family, they must also confront the lies and betrayals they have unwittingly taken part in. They must rebuild from their shattered illusions a life that is honest...even at the risk of being painful for them all.
I actually have two copies of Blessing in Disguise by Eileen Goudge on my bookshelf already, although One Last Dance is the first book that I've read by this author. I really enjoyed this book because I do enjoy reading books with family relationships - generally dysfunctional families - at the heart of the story. I give this book an A! and I am definitely looking forward to reading more books by Eileen Goudge in the future.

One of the best books I've read in a long time. You have to read to the very end before you know what happens.

Good story about love and loss, secrets and hurt in a family. Very believable!
Three sisters about to celebrate their parents' 40th wedding anniversary find themselves at their father's funeral and mother's murder trial in Goudge's (Garden of Lies; Thorns of Truth) latest tale of family secrets, scandals and passion. The Seagrave sisters are emotionally unfulfilled despite their accomplishments: Daphne, a novelist married to a doctor, cannot forget her childhood sweetheart, while homespun cafe entrepreneur Kitty yearns to adopt a child, and newly divorced real estate agent Alex is drowning in mounting debt. When their mother shoots their father without explanation or apology, the daughters investigate the rumors and suspicions they have ignored all their lives to confront the truth about their philandering parent. In the small town where they grew up, the Seagraves were a picture-perfect family and their father a respected pillar of the community. Frustrated by the lies of old friends and their mother's stubborn silence, the sisters gain support from Daphne's ex-boyfriend (now the prosecuting DA), Alex's patient ex-husband and Kitty's energetic young lover.
A shot is fired one night and a husband is left dead. His devoted wife of 40 years is jailed for his murder. They appeared to be the ideal couple, still in love asa they approached the eve of their ruby anniversary. What could have gone wrong?
