Alison Bergeron has her doubts about hosting a birthday
party for her twin stepdaughters, seeing as it’ll include
all of her new husband’s ex-in-laws. Still, she’s a good
sport, and everyone has a great time, especially the girls,
who receive $10,000 from their estranged uncle, Chick.
The girls’ father, NYPD Detective Bobby Crawford, and
Christine, his ex, think the gift is too much. When Crawford
swings by Chick’s apartment to return it, he finds Chick
dead, with roughly $250,000 stuffed in his mattress. The
death is ruled a suicide, but Christine isn’t convinced, and
even Alison can’t help but admit that there must be a lot
more to Chick’s death than meets the eye.
Extra Credit, the latest in Maggie Barbieri’s stellar Murder
101 series, finds Alison and Bobby delving into family
secrets they’d both rather leave untouched.
