"Twelve Secrets" by Robert Gold

Ben, an investigative journalist, investigates the twenty-year-old murder of his brother and the ten-year-old death of his mother. Everyone in the London 'village' in which he lives seems to have a secret; mostly these concern paternity of children. 

There were lots of revelations; one of them I didn't expect. Otherwise it was thriller business as usual. The plot was transparent. The characters one-dimensional, if that. The prose offered no moments of excitement.

I was mostly bored.
