Seraphine and her brother were only hours old when their mother threw herself off a cliff. She'd been moody and a bit crabby but no one expected suicide. Was it or wasn't it?
Berkley and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you). It is being published today.
This is a house of secrets. The children are turning 25 and while Danny is happy with thing the way they are, Seraphine feels like she's not who they've been telling her she is. When their father falls and dies from his injuries, she feels like she's afloat. She wants to know why her mother died so she tries to find the Au Pair that was working there at the time of birth. Some secrets might be better off left that way...
There are new loves, old loves, hidden facts, and even evil plans afoot. The truth is a very complicated matter and doesn't necessarily make anyone happy. This house has more complications than Peyton Place.
I don't read a lot of this type of book but I enjoyed the history of the family they shared and the drama kept me glued to the pages until I was done with the book. There's sadness and happiness both in this story. If you start reading this, I bet you'll finish it. Get ready for backstabbing, scandal and murder all mixed in one pot...
