ONLY THE GOOD

Susan Brooks loves her great-aunt Ella, whose kindly nature is constantly put to the test by the rest of the family. But now matriarchal Aunt Ella lies sick in bed, and has called the family together to make an announcement. A recent stroke has postponed her revelation, however, while the family gathers around. There is Susan's domineering cousin Bea and her too-handsome husband Tony; the Starrs, Will and Mabel, and their two kids; and out of the blue, Susan's mother Amelia, who had left her in the care of Aunt Ella at birth and whom she had never met.

They all have their secrets. Then Aunt Ella's trusted maid, Parsons, disappears. After Susan discovers her murdered body the next day, Sheriff Atwood is called in. One thing becomes clear to him right away... this is a family that protects its secrets well. Unfortunately, it also becomes obvious that his likeliest suspect is Susan herself!
