๐ About this Book
When wealthy hotel magnate Liam Noone dies after falling from a cliff outside his secluded California home, the authorities rule it an accident. His estranged children are not convinced.
Nora and her half-brother Sam reluctantly join forces to investigate their fatherโs death, even though they barely know each other and their relationship is anything but easy. As they dig into Liamโs carefully compartmentalized life, they discover that he kept far more secrets than either of them realized.
Their search takes them into a decades-old love story, complicated family relationships, and a past Liam worked hard to keep hidden. The deeper Nora and Sam go, the more they begin to question not only how their father died, but whether they ever truly knew him at all.

โค๏ธ Why Sumaia Recommends It
I like that this is more than just a murder mystery. The mystery pulls you in, but the emotional side of the story is what gives it depth.
The relationship between Nora and Sam, the family secrets, and the way they slowly uncover a completely different side of their father make the story feel personal rather than just twisty for the sake of being twisty.
It has that Laura Dave style where suspense and family drama are mixed together, so it works especially well if you like thrillers that still have plenty of emotion underneath them.
