How far would siblings go to protect a parent, or each other?.and at what cost? It also presents readers with mixed points of view about what a “happy family” is and what a “great neighborhood” is, and how all of it can change within a matter of a few seconds. This book tackles the issues of how a parent would possibly feel, react, and cope if they suspected one of their children had committed a dangerous crime. What makes this book different from others, and why should anyone care? Small town + big lies = incredible book! 5 stars! In conclusion, an interesting thriller with good character development but a tad too slow for my liking. The slowness kept me from reading it and switching to other books. When I read thrillers, I like them fast and engaging. The writing style was more literature than thriller. For example the Facebook reactions from some unimportant people. It was too descriptive and a lot of information could have been skipped.
What bothered me during this story was the length of it. This gives us a clear insight in the family secrets and all the family drama that unravels. She wants to protect her children as well as finding out why they did what they did. Melissa, our protagonist, knows that one of her children has killed her husband, but the why is lacking and her mother instincts make her react in a different way. The characters were well-developed and you really get to know the setting, the town and our protagonist. The premise of the story already made me very excited to read it.Īnd it was an interesting read. The whole concept sounded very interesting from the start.Ī small town, a murder mystery, with the wild nature in the background. The story begins with a flashback from the killer and you move on to the present when Melissa discovers her husband is murdered, probably by one of her children. ***ARC received in exchange for an honest review.***
