A locked-door murder mystery ensnaring an elite New England clan of property magnates, presumptive governors, and poorly buried secrets, Choice or Chance by Abby Reilly is an engrossing mixture of high-stakes family drama and cozy mystery. Behind the scenes of an imminent victory party for their patriarch, the Wescott family is feuding, drinking, and scheming, but under the cover of a violent nor’easter, a shocking murder threatens to unravel their privileged legacy. Slow-burning exposition, a tragically tangled backstory, and richly crafted characters unveiled via alternating narrative perspectives make this taught thriller an exhilarating and voyeuristic glimpse into loyalty, rivalry, and the inescapable ties of family.
