An equal parts murder mystery and suspense novel delving into the mind of a serial manipulator who brings together a brother and sister looking to avenge the death of their mother and take back their sizeable inheritance
Hazel and Kagan Bailey aren’t on the best of terms when they’re informed of their mother’s untimely death under mysterious circumstances. When they reach out to their stepfather, a man they both aren’t fans of, they’re struck by his overwrought performance of grief. It’s obvious he’s putting on an act. To make matters worse he refuses to let the siblings get in touch with their mother’s lawyer to see about the family money Hazel and Kagan desperately need. Hazel is drowning in debt after being financially cut off, and Kagan never quite got his life together—his expensive habit isn’t much help.
The police seem to be more interested in interrogating the siblings instead of taking a closer look at their stepfather, whose airtight alibi has completely shielded him from further suspicion. Frustrated and increasingly headed toward financial ruin, the siblings take things into their own hands by tracking down their stepfather’s daughter, who he claimed died tragically years ago.
Ava, their stepsister, is unlike anyone they’ve ever met: an effortlessly gorgeous cyber genius with the psychological scars of being raised by an unrepentant conman. Both siblings are smitten and a tug-of-war over Ava’s affection ensues as the trio track down the man the siblings know as Perry.
Trust Issues is a wonderfully complex suspense novel that will keep readers on their toes as the story unfolds in delightfully surprising ways.
