I received this as an ARC.  Mystery is not usually my genre.  This is a story of Stella, who is a court appointed investigator assigned to determine which parent Rose should live with after their divorce.  Rose witnessed the death of her nanny and currently does not speak.  The story evolves into Stella determining whether the Nanny's death was an accident or murder.  She is also trying to figure out if Rose is dangerous or someone else in the house is dangerous.  Basically a vacation read for me.  If you like mysteries it might get a higher rating from you.
