Come Home to Death by Marilyn Levinson – Review by Shannon Fowler
Come Home to Death by Marilyn Levinson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This story is a slow rolling mystery. There is a little romance, mostly one sided it seems. There are many secrets being kept in this story, right up until the end. The plot flowed with these secrets and the good number of characters keeping them. The main character, Erica, is too trusting of not only her new husband but of every person she meets. She believes everything she hears. “You’re a gusty, intelligent woman, but sometimes you act like a brainless fool.”
Other characters include Erica’s husband Terry; her well-meaning older aunts; Doug, who is a “friend” of Terry’s; and the Hartley family. All of these characters are on my list of characters not to trust. Every one of them has a secret or two. The author’s writing leads me to believe they are all troublemakers and unable to be trusted.
Erica needs to decide what is happening around her, what happened to Terry and most importantly, she needs to survive long enough to turn 25 to inherit millions from her parents.
