Book Description
There’s a dead man in my apartment. Only me and my ex have a key. But neither of us would have done this. We have too much to lose…
I wake on the sofa, my head throbbing. How did I get here? In the darkness, I make my way to my bedroom. I turn on the lights. And then I scream.
There’s a body in my bed. And I know this man: we went on two dates together. Who could have killed him? And how did he get in? Only two people have a key to the house: me and my ex-husband Matthew.
I trust Matthew. With what we’re hiding, I have to. And I can’t risk the police digging into our past, or learning about the night when we drank champagne on the cliff and ruined everything.
Someone knows our secret. We have to find out what they want. But am I wrong to believe Matthew, when I know how well he can lie? And how can I save myself, when the truth might destroy me?
An absolutely gripping thriller that will keep you reading late into the night, unable to put the book down for a second. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Ruth Ware and Lisa Jewell.

Review
The Family Home had me guessing from the very beginning with a few red herrings along the way.
A dead body is found in Lillian’s bed but how did it get there? Lillian is the prime suspect but she insists she has not done it. Can she clear her name?
This was told from Lillian and Matthew’s points of view. As we get into the book, we learn there are a lot of secrets being kept between them, even though their divorce was amicable and they share the apartment and their home to keep their daughter from suffering the upheaval.
The book was written perfectly, the pace was just right with lots of twists making you want to read the whole book in one go.
The reveal had me completely shocked.
I really enjoyed The Family Home and would recommend it to my friends who enjoy a good psychological thriller.
