There's Something I Have to Tell You

A gripping, twisty mystery about long-buried family secrets

By: Michelle McDonagh

Narrated by: Michele Moran

Long-buried family secrets fight their way to the surface in this compelling mystery.

HOME IS WHERE THE SECRETS ARE BURIED

On Glenbeg Farm, it was a morning like any other. Only the distressed bark of beloved collie Samson hinted that all was not well . . .

When the bodies of wealthy matriarch Ursula Kennedy and her farmer husband Jimmy are pulled from the slurry pit, shock ricochets throughout the family and community. Everyone has questions, including the gardaí. Was this a tragic accident? Or is there more to it than meets the eye?

Their son Rob, once destined for a high-flying legal career, is now involved in the family business. He seems distraught about his parents' deaths, but rumours soon spread about a blazing row he had with his mother before she died.

Rob's wife Kate had a difficult relationship with Ursula. Life will certainly be easier now, without her every move being controlled by her imperious mother-in-law.

Meanwhile, Christina, the victims' fragile daughter, is carrying a private pain she's never been able to speak about.

As vivid memories rush back of another tragic death on the farm some sixteen years ago, a toxic secret is set to come to the surface, one that has been simmering for decades . . .

Excellent

I hope to listen to move great books by this author!

Kept me guessing

A little slow at the beginning. Liked how the story was told from many points of view. Well done!

Bad Business (in a good way)

The evil mother-in-law is always a good theme and this one didn't disappoint. An excellent writer, Ms. McDonagh developed every character--including Isabelle (the MIL)--with layers so no one was a stereotype. The story moved along nicely, taking you inside a complicated family. Happily, I have another author to follow and more good books to read (her previous and future releases).
