** spoiler alert ** 
 Like a few reviewers, something about this novel just doesn't work. I made a valiant attempt at connecting with the characters. I could tell we were supposed to sympathize with Sarah, since the entire story was from her POV. Which made sense, since she was the outsider but this is the first time where I've felt limited by only hearing from her. I also felt like we were supposed to feel some kind of way about Jack, but he was too cold and closed off throughout much of the book, which I suppose was his way, but he didn't come forward enough for me to 'get him'. 
 The rest of the characters, save Celia and Margaret were't flat but didn't turn me on, either. I felt Dean was quite angry, justifiably given his suspicion but... again I just didn't get enough on him. 
 I felt Sarah was... emotional. As an investigative reporter, of course she was going to poke around in old family business. I didn't so much feel her anger at her husband over the secrets her husband kept from her. I would read her dialog and think... gah, overreaction much? 
 As to the conclusion of the story, I will admit to sort of suspecting it but not really guessing it until we learn of the death of the character I'd suspected all along. I feel like there were some breadcrumbs dropped to lead us to a certain point and then an attempt at a twist. 
 The mystery itself was compelling to read about, if nothing but to find out WHODUNIT. Would he a good read to whittle away an afternoon.
