“The Delaney family love one another dearly – it’s just that sometimes they want to murder one another…”

This line perfectly captures the essence of the book. The family members are deeply intertwined in each other’s lives, yet they yearn for the freedom to make their own choices without facing judgment.

The story also explores the dynamics of what happens when one family member finally gets the care and recognition they’ve always craved—leading to jealousy and territorial behavior.

The mystery element was masterfully crafted, keeping me engaged and eager to guess what really happened to the mother.

There’s also some chronic illness representation: one of the daughters suffers from migraines that began in childhood. In a family of high-achieving tennis players, this wasn’t handled well, adding a layer of complexity to the story.

I’d recommend this book to anyone who enjoys exploring sibling dynamics and solving a mystery that won’t leave you sleeping with the lights on.

Caroline Lee narrated the story perfectly. If you like an Australian accent, go listen to the audio books.
