Libby Day was just seven years old when her older brother massacred her family while she hid in the cupboard. Her evidence helped put him away. Ever since then she has been drifting, surviving for over 20 years on the proceeds of the 'Libby Day Fund'. But now the money is running out and Libby is desperate. When she is offered $500 to do a guest appearance, she feels she has to accept. But this is no ordinary gathering. The Kill Club is a group of true-crime obsessives who share information on notorious murders, and they think her brother Ben is innocent.
Ben was a social misfit, ground down by the small-town farming community in which he lived. But he did have a girlfriend - a brooding heavy metal fan called Diondra. Through her, Ben became involved with drugs and the dark arts. When the town suddenly turned against him, his thoughts turned black. But was he capable of murder? Libby must delve into her family's past to uncover the truth - no matter how painful...
3/5 stars (liked it)
This book has a lot of people that are not totally innocent. The books goes back and forth between characters (mostly Libby, Ben and Patty) and time (the day of the murders and present day). We learn things about Libby and what her life is like now. She basically has never learned to take care of herself and was not grateful to those who did take care of her. Also we see what Ben was like as a kid and what he is like now. I did not see how the events would unfold and I like how all the pieces fell into place.
