⭐⭐⭐⭐✩

I absolutely love this cover! I hadn't previously read any of Rose's novels, but was intrigued by the premise of this one. I heard that she was going to be in St. Louis and decided to go to her author event at the Grant's View branch. It was a blast. At the beginning of the book, Beth Thomas is taking care of her mother, Laura, who is dying of cancer. Laura's final words to Beth are "Your father didn't really disappear. Don't trust..." and that's how this story really gets going. Laura dies before she can tell Beth who not to trust. Beth's two siblings, Nicole and Michael arrive home to help make funeral arrangements and settle affairs, or so it seems. As the siblings sort through the stuff in their parents' house they find a VHS tape that shows their parents standing over a dead body and discussing getting rid of it. Are there literal skeletons in the closet of this family? I encourage you to read this book to find out. I really liked this book and intend to read another of Jeneva Rose's novels The Perfect Marriage. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes mysteries/thrillers.
