It is a murder mystery. I havent read it I dont read novels too much. Sounds like a mystery with lots of events going on. Probably pretty good if you like murder mysteries.
This book was released in 2008 From Publishers Weekly Rich girl–turned–Neiman's shop girl Carlotta was left at 18 to raise her 10-year-old brother, Wesley, after their parents, Randolph and Valerie, skipped town to avoid investment fraud charges. After ten years, Randolph makes a mysterious call to Carlotta. When a woman with Carlotta's car and I.D. apparently kills herself, Lucas requests a fake funeral to lure her parents back. Bond keeps the pace frantic, the plot tight and the laughs light, and supplies a cliffhanger ending. This was an edited review. Gives you little info.
