Andy and his sister Kate are in the small town of Mortom to settle their cousin Craig's estate. It came as a huge surprise that Craig left everything he had to Andy, especially as they had not seen each other in many years.
But 'everything', at first glance, is a falling-down house and an empty bank account.
When taking a walk through the house, Andy finds a dead rat ... under the refrigerator... with a note and a key in its mouth. Thus starts the 'game'. It's up to Andy to interpret the clues as he follows them. When he finds a letter written by his cousin two days before he committed suicide, if that's what really happened, Andy becomes almost crazed to find the 'treasure'.
The plot was extremely interesting and I found myself trying to figure out the mystery right along with Andy.
All but one or two characters are unappealing and insensitive. Andy and Kate come across as definite siblings with all their sniping at each other, and at times they act much more immature than their 30-year-old ages. Sometimes their fighting and sarcastic remarks are quite humorous.
All in all this was a very compelling read. Once started, it was hard to put down. This was quite a different kind of murder mystery. The ending was a bit of a surprise.
Thank so much to the author and Maxine Groves, Publicist for the digital copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
