Pointless

This wasn't worth the read & the 2 part TV series on Acorn TV was just as bad. Flashbacks aren't my thing unless they are written better. Spoiled rich kids (Rex & Biba) living off their estranged father & straight laced poor Karen spend too much time acting like teenagers with partying & drugs. A murder happens & a prison sentence ensues & go forward 12 yrs as Rex is getting out of prison, someone is missing & threats happen. Twist at the end that was ok. Struggled finishing
