Library Journal:
Grace and Andrew Easton share the house they've inherited from their grandmother and live there peaceably until Andrew brings home a new boyfriend, James, whose caustic comments turn the atmosphere sour. Even as James starts coming apart after he and Andrew witness a friend's murder, Grace begins reading a lost 1951 novel called The Child's Child whose setting and protagonists uncannily echo her own situation. Diamond Dagger winner Vine punctures us again.
