A dying matriarch. A missing jewel. Three generations of family secrets.
***
Ethel Wolverton is dying. The aging matriarch of the Wolverton family, Ethel is a ferocious and ambiguous figure in her family's minds. Her four children have complicated relationships with her, most of her grandchildren don't know what to make of her, and her favorite-beautiful Kitty, daughter of Ethel's youngest child-seems to have an unusual hold on her.
But when the family gathers together to see Ethel one more time during her final decline, Ethel's most precious jewel-her two-million-dollar wedding ring-goes missing.
Not long after, someone in the estate is dead.
The Wolverton family is eager to blame both crimes on outsiders-the hospice nurse, the church volunteer, and the housekeeper who were there at the time. But as the hours pass, it becomes clear that everyone in the Wolverton family has something to hide.
And some secrets are more deadly than others.
