YA
Alice (The Innocents) learns that her new stepfather is actually her biological father, and the more she investigates the deaths of his ex-wife and daughter Camilla, the sketchier things seem. Meanwhile, Alice is with Camilla's ex Tommy, and her sister Charlie's boyfriend has a past with Camilla, too. It's a soap-opera-y scandal fest, but the action picks up significantly in this book.
