4.24.2019 - The Family Lie

The Family Lie

Thanks to NetGalley, Bookouture, and Jake Cross for the opportunity to read his latest thriller.

Anna wakes in the middle of the night from noises coming through the baby monitor in their 5-year-old's room.  She realizes it's rain coming in from an open window but Josie is not in her room.  As she goes to investigate, she realizes her husband, Nick, is not in the house either.  She runs outside and sees blood on the steps before calling the police.  When the police arrive, they seem to think Nick is the one who took Josie, even though Anna believes in Nick.  The search for Josie is on.

While there were lots of twists and turns in this book, somehow it didn't capture my complete attention and I never felt drawn in to the characters or story.  Some things bugged me - Anna always referring to Josie as "little lady."  There were lots of characters in this book but instead of adding suspicion, just seemed to cause some confusion.

A good read but just not a great one to me.
