About this season

Narrated by actress Brenda Strong, the voice of Desperate Housewives character Mary Alice Young, this series explores families hiding the most extreme of family secrets: murder. Each episode explores a death in a family, unravelling the motives of the family members, all of whom are potential suspects - and potential victims.
