Description
In the latest thrilling book in the bestselling Under Suspicion series, television producer Laurie Moran investigates the unsolved murder of a beloved couple celebrating the college graduations of their successful twin sons.
The two identical siblings seemed perfect in every way—handsome, intelligent, popular—until a shocking summer night when one brother killed his parents in cold blood while the other brother had an iron-clad alibi. But which twin was where during the murders? And is it possible the two of them planned the crime together?
Years later, the twins are long estranged, each claiming that the other is responsible for the death of their parents. Married now with children of their own, they may finally be ready to clear one name at the expense of the other by turning to true-crime television producer Laurie Moran to reinvestigate their parents’ murder. But as the Under Suspicion crew gets closer to the truth, the danger that was assumed to be left in the past finds its way into the present.
Featuring chilling suspense, a cast of characters whom loyal readers have come to love, and a final jaw-dropping twist, It Had to Be You is not to be missed.
