#6 Such a Perfect Family by Nalini Singh

 

Everyone is an unreliable narrator in this book. Tavish has recently married Diya in a whirlwind romance in Las Vegas and has moved with her to New Zealand. It is a fresh start for him with a string of death of former lovers behind him.   There is a cop in LA that is convinced that he has gotten away with murder. Diya’s family wants to hold a huge Hindi wedding in six months so have asked the couple to say they are just engaged. Tavish comes back to the family residence with cake samples to find it in flames and Diya in the yard with multiple stab wounds.  Her sister-in-law has survived the fire with stab wounds as well, but the parents are dead and the brother-in-law is missing.  As the primary suspect in the killing his alibi checks out cursory but his past quickly comes back to haunt him with the police.  As he is investigating the family secrets the detective in LA has chapters in between the narrative where he is convinced that Tavish has gotten away with murder and he is trying to find out how he did it.  A good story with lots of twists and I didn’t see the ending coming.
