Anyone know what this book is called? - red x by peoples names on amsn

Theres a book I read last year and I can not remember the title! It was by Mary Higgins Clark. The more than a girl, her stepfather because her mother abused or slightly rotated. Persons accused of murdering his mother. As he grew up, he changed his name and this man married and had a son. I believe that her husband had died and she married another man. He bought the house, killing his stepfather, but he did not know, of course. And the neighborhood kids would spray paint Lizzie Borden in the grass and the red x. I remember that all their friends. Who knows what I mean?
