Meh. The mother finds a friend of her daughter floating in the pool. Whodoneit?

The answer to this question is really a subplot to the book, which is more about family secrets and escaping your past.

Some of the characters in the book annoyed me to no end. The aunt, the mom, the poor family, etc. The ending was ridiculous to a major degree. When someone turns homicidal for a reason that makes little sense, it sucks the fun out of a book, for sure.

Off to read something better!
