The Dearly Departed by Elinor Lipman

3.0

GREAT dialogue, I'll give it that!  Loved the way each spoken line moved the plot further than a lesser line would have.  The main characters find out

they're siblings and their parents had had a very long affair.

  But you kind of know that from the get go and then nothing more happens, except for a bit of romance between the main female character and the charming police officer.
