It began with love,money and love onto marriage and a content life
style. Years later the long time married couple moves back to their
hometown with a son who is off at prep school. Life seems as it should
until a visit from the son.. and a girl, alcohol, friends and then it
happens. Their life now is thrown out in public eye, as the authorities
and the parents try to figure out just what really did happen. Do the
wealthy really get to buy themselves out of trouble or are they finger
because they are wealthy and jealousy is strangling the decency out of
everyone? Can life ever be the same or at least common again?
The
family struggles in their own rite trying to understand. Is it possible
they do not know their son? Is he capable of such viciousness? Can their
marriage and family survive? The authorities raises the bar and hold
the parents accountable for the claimed action of their son, even
though.. they weren't even home.. Is there a happy ending?
The book
was a good read, great in places along with the ability of this writer
to give each and every character their own unique believable
personality; impressed me. The flash backs, being constant within the
pages of this story caused a bit of grief. Different points of view are
often an addition to any book but they have to blend smoothly and be
expected and many of these were not.
31/2 stars out of 5
