Excellent mystery and a heartwarming story of a family dealing with a murder although it was 30 years ago.
The antagonist seems very difficult to fight as he (a wealthy psychopath) is finally out of prison and wants retribution for the time he had to spend there.
The characters are fully fleshed. The plot is easy to follow and grabs the reader at the beginning and keeps him/her entranced until the joyful tears at the end.

While the story was good, the book was seriously in need of an editor. There were so many grammatical errors that they were a distraction.
