The Christmas Vigil (2014)
“Tom bit down on a sigh. They’d been arguing since they left home about whether or not their father was an adulterer. Only now, with his brother’s abrupt departure, the argument had come to a halt.
Tom refused to believe his father had been unfaithful, no matter what Riley’s detective mates said. They had it wrong. His father might have been found in what could be construed as a compromising situation, but Tom simply refused to believe it was true.
At thirty-eight years old and the eldest Munro ...sibling, he’d known his father for longer than any of the others. Okay, so Declan was only two years younger, but those two years counted for a lot. Anyone could tell you that. Besides, his mother didn’t believe it, either. She’d said as much to them the night before.
Declan had argued in the car that of course she was standing by him, he wouldn’t expect anything else, but Tom was having none of it. His mother was fiercely loyal to her husband, but not to the point of stupidity. If she truly believed he was guilty, she wouldn’t have been so determined to convince them of his innocence.MoreLess
