Synopses & Reviews
Alison Bergeron has her doubts about hosting a birthday party for her twin stepdaughters, seeing as itll include all of her new husbands ex-in-laws. Still, shes 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 Chicks apartment to return it, he finds Chick dead, with roughly $250,000 stuffed in his mattress. The death is ruled a suicide, but Christine isnt convinced, and even Alison cant help but admit that there must be a lot more to Chicks death than meets the eye.
Extra Credit, the latest in Maggie Barbieris stellar Murder 101 series, finds Alison and Bobby delving into family secrets theyd both rather leave untouched.
