House of Cards — Kay Hooper

MURDER IS RELATIVE

Lane Montana, finder of lost objects, dreads the upcoming family reunion at her mother's estate--especially tire inevitable interrogation of Lane's new lover, police lieutenant Trey Fortier. But the gathering takes a far more unpleasant turn when mild-mannered cousin Lawrence imbibes a cocktail laced with strychnine. The clan suspects the poison was intended for their despised kinsman-by-marriage Innis Langdon--and Innis's brutal bludgeon-death soon after only confirms their suspicions. But Lane and Trey have serious doubts. And to unmask a ruthless multiple murderer, it may be necessary to expose some ugly, sordid secrets that could bring the family's fragile house of cards toppling to the ground.
