Synopsis: Passions are well hidden in the Massey family, but the calm is deceptive-- old rivalries still smolder among the five siblings. When their mother dies, her funeral brings them together and brings unresolved grievances to the surface. Frances, a successful editor with the family publishers, immerses herself in work while Connie, who hasn't spoken to her in five years, spitefully reveals a family secret entrusted to her by her mother. When a sister dies-- an accident or suicide?-- Connie has terrible doubts. Could it have been murder? Then there is another death. Now even the police suspect murder, and the whole family is drawn into a terrifying crisis. This is an English edition so English punctuation and spelling are used.
