Alison Bergeron has her doubts about hosting a birthday party for her twin stepdaughters, seeing as itβll include all of her new husbandβs ex-in-laws. Still, sheβs a good sport, and everyone has a great time, especially the girls, who receive $10,000 from their estranged uncle, Chick.
The girlsβ father, NYPD Detective Bobby Crawford, and Christine, his ex, think the gift is too much. When Crawford swings by Chickβs apartment to return it, he finds Chick dead, with roughly $250,000 stuffed in his mattress. The death is ruled a suicide, but Christine isnβt convinced, and even Alison canβt help but admit that there must be a lot more to Chickβs death than meets the eye.
Extra Credit, the latest in Maggie Barbieriβs stellar Murder 101 series, finds Alison and Bobby delving into family secrets theyβd both rather leave untouched.
