Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Genre: 🕵️♂️Crime Novel
Recommend: ✅
“What Happened to the Bennetts” was recommended on Instagram by @elinhilderbrand and when Elin says read something, I read it. And, as always, I was not disappointed.
The Bennetts are a typical suburban family when they are the victims of carjacking. That night, they are forced to join witness protection, leaving their friends and neighbors to wonder what happened. We stay with the Bennetts the whole time as they try to figure out what happened to them while simultaneously watch their friends try to figure it out as well.
This book had SO many false starts and twists. Just when I thought I knew what was happening, something changed or was revealed. I started this on a plane and it was the *perfect* plane book because I just had to know what was going to happen next.
This was my first @lisascottoline novel but will absolutely not be my last.
You’ll love this book if you love:
✅Crime Novels
✅Male POVs
✅Action

Jason and his incredibly privileged family suffer a great tragedy. They then go on to 1, complain about every safety measure offered to them and 2, break every rule given to them (don't worry - apparently, it's OK). I cannot believe that this guy solved everything and fixed every problem when not a single law enforcement agent could, considering how frequently he talked about how a single year of law school made him smarter, wittier, and more capable of bullshitting than anyone else. At least his wife gets to use Facebook all day long again.

For me this book was just ok. It was a quick read, which was good, but just so unrealistic. I know it’s fiction but really? I like Jason Bennett as a character but what he went through was just so crazy. Read if you want a light and easy read.
