The Covington Affair (Criminal Minds Fanfic)

The Covington Affair

A Criminal Minds Fanfiction

Andrew Covington had everything.

Money. Power. Influence. A billion-dollar publishing empire bearing his family's name.

Then, on the night of his sixty-fifth birthday, Andrew Covington is found murdered inside his family's Connecticut estate.

With no evidence that an outsider committed the crime, the BAU is called in to investigate-and it doesn't take long for them to realize that behind the Covington family's perfect reputation lies a web of secrets.

A wife with everything to lose.
A son hiding a life no one was supposed to know about.
A daughter with a scandalous past-and an inheritance she never expected.

Everyone loved Andrew Covington.
Everyone hated him for something.
And everyone had a reason to want him dead.

For Dr. Spencer Reid, it's supposed to be another case. Profile the family. Find the lies. Identify the killer.

Then he meets Margaret "Maggie" Camille Covington.

Beautiful, intelligent, and born into a world of unimaginable privilege, Maggie is nothing like Spencer expects. Behind the designer clothes, Harvard education, and infamous last name is a woman grieving a complicated father and desperately trying to hold together a family that's beginning to unravel.

The closer Spencer gets to Maggie, the harder it becomes to separate the woman he's falling for from the investigation surrounding her.

Because Maggie has secrets too.

And when the evidence begins pointing toward the woman Spencer has started to trust, he'll have to answer the question he asks for a living:

How well can you ever really know someone?

In the Covington family, everyone is hiding something.

But only one of them is a murderer.

Everyone had a secret. Someone had a motive.
