A Nearly Normal Family

Eighteen-year-old Stella stands accused of the brutal murder of a man almost fifteen years her senior. She is an ordinary teenager from an upstanding local family. What reason could she have to know a shady businessman, let alone to kill him?

Stella’s father, a pastor, and mother, a criminal defense attorney, find their moral compasses tested as they defend their daughter, while struggling to understand why she is a suspect. Told in an unusual three-part structure, A Nearly Normal Family asks the questions: How well do you know your own children? How far would you go to protect them?



My Review

Calling all readers of psychological thrillers. You won't want to miss this book. I guarantee that A Nearly Normal Family will be one of the hottest books of 2019! Don't walk but run or click your nearest bookstore and order a copy of this book.

I really like the format of this book. It is broken out into three sections. The "father", "daughter", and "mother". It allowed me to each the whole picture from a different point of view. Yet, I was never reading repeated parts of the story. It progressed with each voice; thus keeping the story moving along without growing stale.

I thought I had everything figured out when the one big shocker came at the end out of left field. It will leave you speechless. In fact, I am still a bit in shock and I finished this book a few days ago. I look forward to reading more by this author.
