Description:Awkward family holiday doesn't even cover it. More like all out war. So Rue Hallow decides to stay in school, work ahead on her classes, and decide what to do about...everything.
Except, her parents show up on her doorstep. Her dad is withdrawing from love potions, her mother is heartbroken and especially nasty. That would have been enough to drive anyone mad, but Rue's father discovers a body and ends up as the prime suspect in a murder investigation.
Rue, her sister, and her mother have to team up to save the one person they all adore. And try to keep from killing each other while they do it.
