This book combines two of my favorite things: murder mysteries & Christmastime. Davids does a great job of setting a good scene for lots of secrets and lies. This book is sold as a reunion of family members 10 tens after an "incident" but it is a whole lot more!

There are so many different levels to the plot and each little piece is unraveled slowly, allowing the reader to discover not just what the incident was, but also other sad and uncomfortable moments that add to each character's motivation.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and I can't wait to read more from this author.
