With no murder weapon or physical evidence, police have to rely on the kindness of neighbors to piece this puzzle together and go door-to-door looking for clues. When an unexpected suspect proves to have the opportunity and the motive to commit murder, the investigation gets red hot. As this Shakespearian tale unravels, detectives unlock a closet full of skeletons and find that this family home is built on buried secrets.”
