"A teriffic brain teaser"
As the daughter of the Governor of Louisiana one would
think that Grayson had everything. However, she is reeling
from the shock of her mother's apparent suicide and her
father's reaction ofthe death. Governor Guillory
immediately cremates his spouse. Not long afterward, he
remarries his sister-in-law knowing he needs a stable
steady wife for his bid to gain the White House. Meanwhile
Grayson remains grieving her mom's death, but as her mind
clears she begins to wonder if her father had her mother
murdered. As Grayson relooks what she knows about that terrible
night, she contemplates whether she is insane having
inherited her mother's mental problems or is she the
daughter of a matricide killer. Grayson concludes with a
strong certainty that her father is capable of removing a
wife by homicide that would derail his presidency run.
Still she questions her paranoia speculating the role her
husband played in the death of her mother and whether the
two males will remove her too if she makes waves that
threaten to flood the presidential run. As Blue Hen advertises, SACRAMENT OF LIES modernizes
Hamlet with a gender-changing lead role. The story line is
superb due to Grayson with her doubts about her mind and
the men in her life. This serves to make her plight feel
real, while leaving the audience to speculate on the
truth. Fans of taut psychological thrillers will fully
relish her quandary and want to read more tales by
