Burke continues, and continues to update, the late Mary Higgins Clark's bestselling series about true-crime TV producer Laurie Moran. The celebration of twins Simon and Ethan Harrington's college graduations 10 years ago was curdled when longtime babysitter/dogwalker Jenna Merrick entered the family's Cape Cod vacation home a few hours later to find the place deserted except for the bodies of Sarah and Richard Harrington, the twins' parents, turning the site from a party scene to a crime scene. The security cameras on the property were mostly down, but once Howard Carver, Richard's law partner, told Harbor Bay police chief Jerry Collins that he'd seen one of the twins leaving the house soon after the murders, Collins never seriously considered other suspects. Jimmy Connolly, the hardware store owner whose daughter, Annabeth, married Ethan, got his old pal Collins to suppress a crucial piece of evidence, and no charges were brought. But now that uppity podcaster Lydia Martindale is pressing the family to celebrate the anniversary of this horror by talking to her, Frankie Harrington, the twins' younger sister, approaches Laurie, who oversees the celebrated Under Suspicion television series, in hopes of laying the cold case to rest for good. It's no easy task to get the Harrington brothers aboard, along with Walter Ward, Richard's other partner, and his wife, Betsy, who took in Frankie when her parents were killed. And then the revelations begin. Burke complicates Clark's trademark damsel-in-distress decorum with disclosures about cheating, loan sharking, partner abuse, and other dysfunctional family secrets that seriously undermine her title because it could be almost anybody. In the closing words of one character: "Not all crimes are a black and white story of good versus evil."
