The Deadly Sister / Eliot Schrefer / 310 pages

This was essentially a mystery.  The main suspect is the sister who had been tutored and more by the dead guy.  The sister is a mess.
Schrefer pulls out all the stops on how to describe this angry, learning impaired, wreck of a teenager.  Her parents have all but given up on her.  the other sister is, of course, the good one.  Telling volumes in the story is how neither one wants to engage the father who is quite likely to blow up at them.  Professionally, he is a lawyer.  So, I guess, he has that top of the food chain job that makes it okay for him to vent whenever.  Mom is the fragile one, but runs interference.  I was more interested in the family dynamics than the mystery.  It was ok.
