Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group Ballantine Books for granting my wish and gifting me a digital copy of the latest thriller by Catherine Steadman - 4.5 stars!
Harry is a novelist who just moved from England to the US where her fiancé, Edward, lives. Edward is Uber-wealthy, coming from a very powerful family, the Holbecks. Edward has been somewhat estranged from the family but engaged and with Harry newly pregnant, they accept an offer from Edward's sister to join the family for Thanksgiving. There, Harry is introduced to Robert, the patriarch of the family, who slips her a secret cassette tape that he says she must listen to. It gets weirder from that point, with Harry becoming involved with the games this family plays - and these aren't your average board games. This family plays to win at all costs. But Harry is keeping her own secret that she doesn't want the family to know.
While this one is definitely a bit over the top, I dove deep into this book and didn't want to stop reading. It's mad fun trying to figure out how it will all end up and the ending was quite satisfying. Block out some time to play The Family Game!
