"No tiene intención alguna de confesar. No se siente culpable. Se lo tenían merecido."
⭐⭐⭐
¿Quién mató a los Merton?
Los Merton son una familia rica como cualquier otra. Con un padre violento y cruel, una madre indiferente, y tres hijos codiciosos y resentidos. Incluso una tía obsesionada con saber la verdad.
Una herencia millonaria y más de un sospechoso, en "Una familia no tan feliz" nos encontramos con todos estos personajes despreciables y absolutamente capaces de todo con tal de obtener su parte de la herencia.
Shari Lapena nos trae un thriller doméstico casi perfecto si no fuera por el final apresurado.

Didn’t really connect with any of the characters so I didn’t care who kill who

uggggh, i hate that i had a 'yes, audrey!' moment there at the end because i hated her soooooo much. how do you think you're owed that money when fred's been tormenting his children their entire lives and you have the choice to come and go as you please (and not help them). she was so frickin' delusional but dan so clearly needs a stable, normal human (like lisa) to make him more of a stable, normal human so i was very much on board with: yes, jenna should get officially charged and prosecuted because otherwise, yeah, dan CANNOT fucking help himself and is like: how can i look very, very guilty? i'mma do that then *finger guns* this was tense, and i baaaadly wanted to know who did it the entire time, and the author did a good job of making me care about that because they were all unpleasant and privileged af but i def felt the worst for dan, who did the least to help himself, and who everyone agreed got the worst of their dad's vitriol and so i wanted the bullied kid to be okay but he was so WEIRD and bad at defending himself too that you were just like: omg, you deserve it, who talks about what an awful person the murder victim is at their funeral, you total moron, lol. anyway, liked this a lot while disliking allll of the characters, haha!
