The Better Sister by Alafair Burke

4.0

There is no shortage of suspects when an attorney turns up murdered in his home. When his teenaged son Ethan is arrested and charged for the crime two women, who had been long estranged, come together to support him and stand by him during the trial. One woman is the person he calls Mom but she is actually his aunt and step mother. The other is his birth mother, the sister of the other woman. His father had divorced his mother and was granted full custody of Ethan. A few years later his father marries his mother's sister and she becomes Ethan's step-mother. Confused yet?

Not everyone is telling the truth but sorting it all out is not easy. I did not see the end coming and no, I did not guess who the murderer was.
