Keep It In The Family by John Marrs

dark mysterious sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.75

This book is pretty dark.  I read a lot of thrillers and will need a palate cleanser or maybe 3 before another thriller.  Just when I thought the book was going to end more kept coming.  The ending was so disturbing.  I be sure to check trigger warnings on this book before reading it.
