I actually remember reading the library copy of this way back when but took advantage of finding the audio version to refresh my memory. The only thing I could really remember was the actual murder in the book, maybe because it was someone dressed as the Easter Bunny, but had no memory of whodunit, so it was a fun read nevertheless.
As this is old and countless plot summaries are surely easily available, I'll just note that while the main theme focuses on elder abuse, there is much more to the story. Let's face it, while we'd all love to be rich, money definitely doesn't guarantee a wonderful life. Relatives, both known and unknown, frequently want their supposed share and are often willing to do whatever it takes it takes to hasten along their probably inheritance, including murder. Greed has a funny way of trumping family devotion, not to mention that even the richest and most publicized families have secrets. Secrets some would definitely find worth killing to expose or, in a twisted way, make right.
Thanks to #DreamscapeMedia for making the audio book available to the public. I love being able to listen as I'm driving about doing errands and such.
