(4) 4-6 Nikki is still grieving her mother's death when Dad announces he's marrying Crystal. As the family vacations in Crystal's childhood home, Crystal's increasingly erratic behavior suggests she is hiding a secret from her past. Part of the plot is based on the unlikely premise that a family harboring a known murderer would invite fourteen-year-old Nikki to work in their home, but the "undercurrent" of suspense is well maintained throughout.
