So, the previous commenter is sort of correct. HOWEVER, does real life always have a moral? Is real life G-rated? Or… is real life a strange, and sometimes horrible place? I will leave you to pick the most realistic option!

Zero stars!

Spoiler alert: Horribly sad story where the baby dies. I thought it was simply a sad mystery, but turns out that there was deceit everywhere and no redeeming value to help soften a child's murder. Affairs and language included.
