Idk if i could read another Point Crime. It’s fine, it’s readable but wayyy too convoluted.

- Mom gets murdered via bathtub electrocution
- then the sister gets murdered
- sister is found alive and might’ve faked her death?
- wait, no, this is the secret, surprise twin who was sent away after killing her boyfriend and having a secret baby who her parents were passing off as her own brother?? Anyway she is back and pissed off in a Big Way
- the protagonist withheld some important info and was actually related to the murdered boyfriend???
- …so he’s technically the uncle of his girlfriend’s younger brother????
- and then it’s revealed that the girlfriend’s real mom is the maid. Wait. What. Why. The end.

This hurt my head
Point Crime? Never again
