Setting: Contemporary suburban Connecticut
OSS: Glen Garber, a self-employed contractor, tries to deal with the death of his wife under mysterious circumstances.
Glen Garber's wife, Sheila, is killed in a horrible auto accident that also claims the lives of a father and his young son. But when Glen discovers that his responsible, law-abiding wife was supposedly extremely drunk and caused the accident, life begins to tilt. After his 8-year old daughter, Kelly, goes on a sleepover and overhears a secret telephone conversation, everything and anything begin to happen. More deaths. More mystery. Surprise after surprise, right down to the very end. This is a roller coaster ride of a story, and that this poor protagonist kept his mind together at all is very surprising. There are a couple of places that I felt, "what was he thinking?" but would probably have really come about in such strange situations that happened. This was a really good story, really wonderful to listen to, that I brought in from the car to finish in the house (a bit unusual for me).
