"A stellar recurring hero headlines this exciting and convincing
whodunit. Conrad, a TV writer and producer, enriches this
mystery/thriller with unforgettable morsels of dry humor. Conrad's
series protagonist is a believable sleuth. But as the narrative
persistently reminds readers, she's only human." - Kirkus
Reviews
"Conrad proves adept at the tools of the mystery author's trade,
like misdirection, planting clues that pay off later, and crafting
a plot where every detail matters and feels logical and believable
but will still keep readers guessing how they will finally fit
together. His heroine is compelling and imperfect, and her
relationship with her father-he practices cover ups, she exposes
them-is fertile ground for future stories." - Publisher's
Weekly/Booklife "'Sins of the Family' is an exceptional blend of
mystery, suspense and thriller, featuring unforgettable characters
and a twisty plot that transform the book into a page-turner. It is
downright gripping and utterly original. It is an intelligently
plotted story that explores dark secrets, conspiracy and a young
woman's unflinching quest for the truth. Hy Conrad is a terrific
writer, a great storyteller who has the ability to pull the reader
in by introducing a compelling premise and characters that are
real." - The Book Commentary
