Book Review…The Insect House by Shirley Day
Some secrets just won’t stay buried.
This was an interesting read. The story is about siblings Helen and Gareth. Helen is a housewife who still lives in the family home in East Anglia; she is married to Tim and is taking care of her bedridden mother. When Gareth was 14 years old he disappeared and now 40 years old he is returning home.
It's a well written suspenseful story about family and secrets. The characters at times I didn't really care for but instead of making me want to put the book down it made me want to read more. There's only a handful of characters so you are able to get to know them pretty well. The pace was a little slow but I think it went well with the plot. It was entertaining to follow along as secrets were revealed! The twists were interesting, especially the last one! I was able to predict a few but the ending was a surprise! Overall it's an easy read and even though some of the characters were odd at times I liked them! Happy reading everyone!
