She read
Publication Date: Nov. 5, 2019
On her twenty fifth birthday, Libby Jones inherits what had been her family’s home. Except, she hasn’t lived in it since she was a baby when her parents and someone else living there died of apparent suicides and her two siblings went missing. With the help of an investigative journalist, Libby tries to unravel the mystery of her parents death as well as the unusual people who lived with the family those many years ago. As is a popular device in fiction today, the story is told from three points of view; two in the present and the third reflecting on past history.
Well written, I did not find the three separate narrators confusing at all. But, I didn’t love the book. It just seemed to “miss” and dragged somewhat. I found it a bit unbelievable, especially the coming together at the end.
This is the first book I have read by Lisa Jewell. While I wasn’t over the top about it, I would like to go back and read some of her prior works as well as definitely will try future novels.
