Once Linda insinuates herself into the guarded family, she discovers that everyone behind the walls of Greystones mansion had a reason to murder the much-hated Margot, including her disturbed daughter, her malicious and jealous sister-in-law, even the brooding and handsome Julian, with whom Linda is falling dangerously in love. But with a mysterious killer in a house of secrets, Linda has reason to fear that anyone—including herself—could be the next victim.
