The Killer's Family - Miranda Smith

 We should never have kept our father’s secret.

Before, my sisters and I were close. Now, a year after our father’s funeral, we barely speak to each other. Molly won’t accept the truth. Rachel can’t forgive him. And I spend all my time digging through his life, trying to understand.

Then we hear the news. A woman has been found by the docks, her wedding ring stolen. The reporter says it appears the local serial killer has returned…

But I know that can’t be right, because I know who the killer was.

Henry Martin. Our father.

Someone is sending us a message. Someone knows we lied.

Now my sisters and I must work together to find out who is targeting us. How do they know what we’ve hidden? What do they want? And what other secrets lie buried in the past, putting us all in danger?

A brilliantly twisty suspense thriller that will have you flying through the pages and gasping at the twist. Fans of Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn and Ruth Ware will love The Killer’s Family.

My Review

I loved the idea of this book. So many stories are told either from the point of view of the victim or whoever it is trying to get to the bottom of things, sometimes from the murderer themselves. This time though, we have the family of the murderer. A family who never knew what was going on.
I really enjoyed seeing the story unfold through their eyes. Both as they tried to come to terms with what their family member has done, but also because the same story seems to be playing out again now.
There are a lot of twists and turns in this book. I honestly thought I'd got it all figured out and that I wasn't going to be fooled. I was wrong. I didn't see it coming at all, which I actually really enjoyed. (Especially as I'd been feeling so smug about it all.)
This was a gripping read and one that I got through really quickly, mostly because I really didn't want to put it down.
If you're looking for a read that will keep you on the edge of your seat with something a little different then you won't go far wrong here.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and given voluntarily.
