After a family Easter dinner, mom and dad end up dead and their kids are the prime suspects. Say what?!
This family was sooooo dysfunctional. Dad was a nasty psychopath, mom was cold hearted and disinterested and the kids are all bottom feeders! Seriously, I couldn’t stop listening to this audiobook because things seemed to just go from bad to worse.
Shari Lapena weaves an engaging tale of family secrets, greed and dysfunction with plenty of twists and so many fingers pointed at each other, that your head will spin trying to guess just who the culprit actually is. Loved the use of multiple POVs which really added to the suspicion factor and kept me guessing and second guessing everyone. This was a fast, fun whodunnit that reminded me a bit of

3.5 ⭐️ rounded up - This was sinful, decadent and campy in the best way. This one is for my fellow
A toxic, co-dependent friendship that thrives on murder, cover-ups, lies and deadly secrets!
This started off strong - a BFF backpacking trip in a foreign country ends with deadly consequences. Then, a year later we have a repeat situation, starring the other best friend? Say what! Ummm, obviously one or both of these two have issues.
This is not a typical friendship story and I thought the premise had a lot of potential. I love a good, unhinged, toxic and co-dependent friendship story and this one had a lot going for it. Yet, the middle definitely dragged for me. Thankfully, the end picked up with a whole new level of

A twisty, tension filled mystery involving a missing teenage couple, an abandoned old mansion and lots of secrets, lies and duplicity.
Told in multiple timelines, we unravel the story of a missing teen couple (Tallulah and Zach) who disappeared after a night out without a trace. Tallulah’s mother, Kim, is desperate to find out the truth surrounding her daughter’s disappearance. She knows she wouldn’t willingly leave her young son behind. As the case grows cold, Kim finds an unlikely ally in Sophie, a crime novelist who is new to the area and unearths a clue about the disappearance near her home. Together, Kim and Sophie begin to delve into the past, determined to find out what really happened.
The story is wrought with tension which kept me turning the pages. We learn about Tallulah’s life leading up to her disappearance and find it’s filled with secrets that seem to get larger as they begin to unravel. This one tugged at my heartstrings as a mom - both from Kim’s standpoint and Tallulah’s. The book is a mystery but it also deals with some very real, complex issues surrounding motherhood, unhealthy/toxic relationships/friendships and of course has a healthy dose of murder and mentally instability too.
