Book synopsis
Dr. Arthur Calgary arrives at the remote Sunny Point with a staggering revelation that will shatter a family's fragile peace. Two years ago, Jacko Argyle died in prison after being convicted of murdering his mother—a crime he spent his final days denying while claiming a stranger had given him an alibi. Now, Calgary has emerged from an Antarctic expedition to prove that he was that stranger, and that Jacko was an innocent man. However, the Argyle family realizes with horror that if Jacko didn't kill his mother, the real murderer is still among them.

Good, with small caveats

Not groundbreaking, but competent and easy to read. I would read another by this author.

Great late night read
The dialogue is sharp and never feels forced. Formatting was clean on my e-reader.

Perfect for the commute
Verified buyer
The pacing is tight and the characters actually feel like people. No typos that I noticed, which is rare at this price.
