So sue me. I like a book about dysfunctional family members. "A Friend of the Family" fits the bill. Dr. Pete Dizinoff has a nice life....happy marriage, his best friend living close by, a close relationship with his one and only child, a thriving practice. Yet all is not what it seems. Many years ago, Pete's best friend's daughter, Laura, committed an unthinkable crime when she was 17 and now that she's 30, she has moved back home and has seduced Pete's 20 year old son, Alec, against every wish of Pete's. Everything falls downhill, Pete's marriage, his work, his relationships with his son and best friend, his reputation...everything spiraling out of control. To what lengths will a father go to protect his child? A little predictable..a little soap-opera-ish...a little easy on the brain. If you're in the mood for some family crisis though, this one's for you.
