If Sarah and Angie can't track down the real murderer in time, Sarah's bound to learn how delicate - and deadly - family dynamics can truly be....

Slightly confusing

Background histories are inconsistent from book one to book five. Such as the main female character was 29 in book one but was 26 in book 4. I know this isn’t such a big thing but in mysteries it is the small things that add up to the answer of each mystery. There are other inconsistencies throughout each book.
