A phone call in the middle of the night. Alice’s infamous father, Edward “Papa” Wynter, is dead from a gunshot wound. Leaving her distant husband in their New Jersey McMansion, Alice races back to Redding. What at first seems like a simple case of burying her past along with her cruel, alcoholic father turns into a double mystery. Papa Wynter wasn’t a victim of suicide as originally thought — it was murder, and Alice’s abused twin brother, Chris, is missing.
Memories begin to crack the surface as apparitions from the past appear. The winter when Chris ran wild with his bad-seed cousin, cruising from petty crimes to irreversible tragedy, is revealed. Could this be the catalyst that drove Chris to become a hard-core alcoholic like their father? And did their cousin Ray, a junior sociopath in the making, really die in a snowmobile accident?
Supervising Lieutenant Detective Don Lambert has his suspicions. Chris and Papa were last seen arguing in their favorite townie bar the night of the murder — and they were fighting about Ray; the same Ray who tortures Alice’s memories. Things grow more complicated when the murder weapon is found and her mother, Jackie Ruth, is brought in for questioning. What is she hiding? What dark secret from Alice’s past is about to be exposed?
This enthralling thriller leaves a chilling trail as family members come to grips with the harm they have done to one another and the tragedy of a life without love.

I found out that my paternal great grandparents forced my grandmother and her 3 children (and one on the way) to leave their farm after their son was killed in an accident.

Before I got married, I found out about a family scandal. It wasn't a mystery b/c apparently everyone knew about it except me. I was kept out of the loop to "protect" me. My family was under the mistaken notion that I would back out of the marriage if I found out. How they could think I would generalize one man's actions to all men is beyond me.

I have heard about a few family mysteries, one including a suicide. I don't dare ask about them though.

My family on both sides is loaded with family mysteries, the usual result is that two sides can't stand other. Of course, I won't tell any of the secrets!

I actually did find out what happened between my mom's mom and her husband when I was younger. It still shocks me that he got off too easy.

My great great grandfather was found dead on the side of a trail with his horse still by his side. Nobody today knows what exactly happened. His wife went looking for him in the morning when he didn't come home one night and found him.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Not a mystery so much as the skeletons in the closet when I was a very young teenager, about my favorite Grandmother, I grew up fast at that point. I still adored the woman but I saw her with slightly clearer eyes.

It was no mystery that my 80 year old grandpa was going to round up a posse and try to take care of some business, old west style. My grandmother put a stop to that one. haha
