Not a Happy Family by Shari Lapena
Fred and Sheila Merton are excessively rich and live in the coveted Brecken Hill neighborhood in Upstate New York. The night after an Easter dinner with their three adult children—Catherine, Dan and Jenna—they are violently murdered. Fred was known to brutally berate his children; Sheila was an absent mother; and all three kids were raised by the housekeeper, Irena. All parties involved stand to inherit millions of dollars. Were the Merton’s killed in a robbery, or did one of their children inherit their father’s psychopathic tendencies and do it themselves? This spring thriller will take you on a rollercoaster of a whodunit.
