When the Langley's (husband, wife, and teen-age son) are murdered in their home, neighbors Bill and his wife, Ellen, find themselves wondering how their own family might be involved. Bill is now a gardener but used to be a driver and gofer for the town's completely corrupt mayor. His wife, Ellen, works for the local college planning a literary event. Their son, Derek, was a friend of the boy who was killed. Should they have known more about their neighbor's lives? When Derek is arrested for the murders, Bill and Ellen know he is innocent - but how do they prove it?
I read 330 pages of this 400-page novel in one day. The pacing is fast, the characters likable, and it made me wonder how I would react if my normal life suddenly wasn't. A good, fast read.
