23 and Them
DNA Tests Never Turn Out Well....
The world’s full of mysteries. Does God exist, how did we get here, is our world even real…and how on earth does that milquetoast office slave have such a stunning wife?
That final mystery, of course, is the one relevant to 23 And Them. And it’s one that Harvey, the office slave in question, is forced to seriously ponder after a fellow co-worker observes that his two “children” don’t really resemble him at all. Nor their mother, Sue.
Now Harvey’s home life is blissful – Sue’s a stay-at-home cook, and the kids are just as innocent and smiley as she is.
Almost too innocent, in fact.
But the seeds of doubt have been sown, and eventually they grow too big for Harvey’s mind. So, he secretly obtains a 23 and Me kit, along with DNA swabs from his “perfect” wife and kids.
8 weeks later, the results arrive. At the front door. When Harvey’s not home.
And when he does get home, his wife’s words and actions show her fury, but the smile never disappears from her face…or the kids’ faces, for that matter.
Why? Because Sue’s got her reasons for tying the knot with Harvey, but they’re not obvious reasons. Rather, they relate to the results of the DNA tests, which also reveal his wife’s darkest secret. One which she shares with “their” kids.
Are Harvey’s children his? Why did Sue marry him? And what do Sue and the kids have in common that Harvey doesn’t?
With tension oozing off every page as the moment to the truth draws nearer and nearer, 23 and Them will hook you in and never let you go until you find answers to these questions. Answers you certainly won’t be able to guess!
