There's Something I Have to Tell You: A gripping, twisty mystery about long-buried family secrets

"There's Something I Have to Tell You is both a gripping whodunnit and an engaging, emotional read. I worried about these characters, worried that the ending I craved for them would become an impossibility, but McDonagh stacks the chips high, keeps the reader guessing right up to the end, and then delivers precisely the conclusion you didn't even realize you were hoping for.
