Like Mother Like Daughter

 Fiction by Kimberly McCreight


NYU student Cleo came to her parents' apartment on a Sunday evening to have dinner with her mother she finds the place empty. Dinner is burning on the stove and there is broken glass and blood on the floor. Cleo realizes her mother is missing, so she calls the police and she calls her father (who is supposed to be on a business trip).

When the police arrive they are openly suspicious of Cleo's father, who apparently has been back in New York for hours, although he told Cleo he was just getting off the plane when she called. And, as the reader slowly discovers, neither he not her mother has been completely honest with Cleo about a lot of things.

This was an exciting mystery story with good characters and a surprises ending.
