Author: Vicki TyleyPublished: -Reviewed - 11/03/2013Synopsis:Melbourne-based graphic designer Dervla Johns' life is turned upside down when her brothers, Emmet and Gabe, turn up on her doorstep with the horrific news that their stepmother, Lucinda, and their half-sister and half-brother have been murdered - shot dead in their beds. Her father, Warren, has vanished, and the police have him in their sights as prime suspect. Dervla refuses to believe it. That's until he turns up dead in his car on an isolated bush track, the weapon by his side. Mix in a dysfunctional family and a friend with an abusive husband and the lines start to blur...Status:  Read on January 24 2013 – I own a copyMy thoughts:The very thought of murdered children almost put me off this book, but I did persevere and I am pleased that I did.  This is a very intriguing mystery that has the reader hanging to the very end to discover the culprit in this terrible family murder.As usual a well crafted story with characters that I found a bit difficult to empathise with. Frankly, Dervla Jones is a bit of a handful and needs an injection of ‘intelligence’!The one person who seemed to have his hand on the wheel was Detective Senior Sergeant Todd Gleeson.However, the story unfolds in way that surprises and tricks the reader and is the usual high standard of this accomplished author.Available:  Amazon ; Goodreads.
