Publisher's Summary:
Sometimes the people you know best are the ones you should fear the most.
Any of the Warners could have been behind the accident. Every one of them had a problem that threatened to tarnish more than their old-money silver.
Having spent the past three decades' worth of summers on Nantucket, the Warners are as much a part of the island as the crust of salt on the ferry. But this year is different: Tripp is no longer the father he was, and it becomes clear that nothing - not the beams that hold the house together, and not the values the family clings to - can survive the ravages of time. When tradition turns to tragedy, the creaky old house swirls with suspicion. There are just so many reasons to want someone gone.
With no easy answers as to how, why, or who, the Warners must face another frightening question: Do they really want to know the truth?

Fantastic Book Club Book
I absolutely LOVEd this book all the way through. Kelly Simmons writing is flawless and perfectly captures both the people and the place of Nantucket. Told in five points of view this story unravels in a narrative that you won't want to wait to get back to. Some have said that the ending is ambiguous but that is what makes this book so great for discussion. All the clues and information are there, it's up to the reader to collect them and fill in the blanks. Beautifully written and wonderfully rendered.
A compelling, exhilarating read.
Kelly Simmonsâs THE FIFTH OF JULY is replete with memorable voices telling a thrilling story set in a unforgettable place. Like a torpedo zooming inexorably toward its target, the story launches from past tragedy and a familyâs failure to care for its own straight toward a present disaster. A compelling, exhilarating read.

I just could not get into this book. From the start the characters did not draw me in and were sort of all over the place.
