From Cradle to Grave byPatricia MacDonald

Morgan Adair comes to West Briar on the Long Island shore to become a godmother to her best friend, Claire's, baby. While there, Morgan discovers Claire in a deep depression, Claire's husband, Guy, worried, and the grandparents not altogether helpful. A surprise visit by Guy's daughter from a previous marriage, a complete surprise to Claire, creates turmoil. Morgan completes her stay and is at the airport to catch a flight to England when she receives a call from Claire from the jail in West Briar. Guy and baby Drew are dead and Claire is the number one suspect. Nonplussed, Morgan heads back to West Briar to help Claire as best she can. Quite a twisted and convoluted plot. A so-so story with a somewhat surprising ending. Sandy Penton
