Just Plain Odd ... And Not in a Good Way

Growing up, Dahlia Lighthouse's family was like no other. Obsessed with true crime, her parents isolated the family in their secluded island mansion. When her father dies, a body is discovered already in his grave - Dahlia's twin brother who disappeared when they were teens. Now Dahlia must dive deeper into her eccentric family to learn what happened to her brother.

Truth be told, The Family Plot is just plain weird ... and not in a good way. Everything was unrelatable from top to bottom - the characters, the circumstances, the true-crime obsession. Instead of being intrigued by the quirkiness, I was annoyed by the irredeemably flat characters and the bizarre story. I honestly can't believe I wasted as many hours as I did reading this terrible book instead of DNF'ing it.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Atria Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
