A psychological thriller about a true crime obsessed family harboring their own deadly secrets!

The premise of this book held so much promise for me. A true crime obsessed family living in a secluded mansion - yes please! A body discovered as they prepare to lay their loved one to rest - count me in! Siblings with weird relationships and an even weirder upbringing - what's not to love! Yet despite all this, I found this one a bit underwhelming. I can probably attribute it to the fact that this unfortunately held no surprises for me.

The premise is intriguing but once the novelty wore off, I found myself growing bored. The story definitely stalled in the middle and I found myself waiting for something to happen. Unfortunately, the ending felt anticlimactic and I simply wanted more. I figured out both mysteries, early on, which took away from the twists for me. I was hoping for a more explosive ending or for the author to really delve into some family weirdness.

I honestly think this would have been more powerful if told in a dual timeline. We are told about the past which almost made it feel less eventful for me. It would have been so much more satisfying to have the events unfold as we follow along. I wanted to love this more than I did, but sadly it was just an ok read for me.
