I did really enjoy this mystery, but I have to admit it took a little to get used to. It also is brutally honest about having someone you love suffer with dementia so be warned if that is a trigger. The writing was good and I liked the multi-layered story quite a bit. The characters were very well developed and very interesting. I liked them and felt very invested in their success.

Joey Green is a divorced man with two teenaged children who comes to visit his parents and help take care of his father who has a form of dementia called Levy Body Dementia which not only impacts his memory but causes hallucinations. While Joey is caring for his father a man his father was known to not care for was murdered and Joey is determined to keep his father out of trouble no matter what happened. As he investigates to try to ensure his father’s safety he learns about several secrets from the past and teach him things he never could have guessed.
