A Christmas Thriller focused on an excessively rich American family. They have crazy traditions and a shroud of secrecy around them. 

When Harriet, a British Thriller Author, newly engaged gets thrown into meeting her future in-laws it is quite overwhelming. The Holbeck's have an American dynasty and she's an orphan. 
A tape from the pariarch Robert Holbeck, the first time she met him changes everything.

It feels cinematic. The audiobook performance (by the author!) and sound design are fantastic. I loved that the tapes had the sound and texture of an anologue recording.

A bit slow for me honestly, it definitely was not a page turner in my category. I was quite...disappointed in the middle (I think this is more suspense vs. my typical thriller), but the end was very enjoyable.

The last chapter made me smile, it made my heart happy 😅🩷
