Rick had lived a life full of lies and cheating which Lindsay had become tired of and wanted a divorce. Lindsay knew none of Rick’s family as he always gave her conflicting stories when it came to this issue. At one point he told her that he had been left behind by their alien mothership forcing him to start life on earth alone with no single family-which was a lie and utterly funny. His death, however, brings a number of people claiming to be his family and after his estate. His mother, two brothers and a woman with a young boy-whom she claimed was Rick’s son show up claiming his estate.

Apart from her, all the rest want to have a share of what rick left behind.

The events seem too deep, and the people behind the happenings seem to have more than they want to get and are willing to get it even if it means killing again. The events throw her into confusion as she is unable, to tell the truth from that which is false.

This story is just fun especially with the instances of sarcasm; laugh out loud moments and the mysteries that are involved. The characters are awesomely shaped with interactive roles that keep you rocked to the final page.
