Keep It in the Family

De: John Marrs

Narrado por: Elizabeth Knowelden, Steve West, Simon Mattacks, Clare Corbett

In this thrilling novel from bestselling author John Marrs, a young couple’s house hides terrible secrets—and not all of them are confined to the past.

Mia and Finn are busy turning a derelict house into their dream home when Mia unexpectedly falls pregnant. But just when they think the house is ready, Mia discovers a shocking message scored into a skirting board: I WILL SAVE THEM FROM THE ATTIC. Following the clue up into the eaves, the couple make a gruesome discovery: their home was once a real-life murder house, with the evidence still concealed within the four walls.

In the wake of their traumatic discovery, the baby arrives and Mia can’t shake her fixation with the monstrous crimes that happened right above them. Tormented by the terrible things she saw, she is desperate to dig into the past to find answers.

Secrecy shrouds the mystery of the attic, but when shards of a dark truth start to emerge, Mia realises the danger is terrifyingly present. She is prepared to do anything to protect her family—but will the previous tenants stop her from discovering their secret?

Good but really long

I liked the story overall but it was really long winded for a story that started so quickly. It’s always surprising to me when I end up listening to a book on 2x speed and that’s normally how I end up when I’m over a book but want to see how it ends. As someone who normally finishes a book in 1-3 days this took me 5 days because I found the second half so slow. Decent story overall and great performance but slow second half

Choppy

I really wanted to like this book! The writing was dull and super choppy. It is hard to follow at times and the “twists” are very easy to see coming. The book does well going “full circle” but I had a hard time caring about any of the characters. They are all terrible and bland.
I still enjoyed the premise behind the book but I think it could have been executed better!

Love the story

I am a huge John Marrs out he is my go to, and he never disappoints

Too much

I liked the book and had to keep listening but the ending annoyed me. It was just over the top and maybe I’m just one of those people who want a happier ending.

Good but sometimes hard to follow

It is a bit choppy but a good listen over all. I would recommend it

worth the wait!

I waited for this book to come in the audio version, and I'm so glad I did! fantastic book. Crazy story! Keeps you on the edge of your seat.

One of my absolute favorites

Best audiobook I’ve listened to in a long time. Well developed characters, kept me guessing, and awesome ending.

WOW WOW WOW!!!!

What an amazingly twisted story!! Just when you think figured it all out...BAM...another well written twist!!

SO many twists

This vook had SO many twists, it was almost hard to keep up!
The narration was perfection & I would definitely recommend this one!

Great Writing and Gripping Storyline

Amidst all of the sophomoric writing that is clogging up the thriller genre these days, this was so refreshing to come across.

This was my first John Marrs book and it won’t be my last. The writing was great, the character development was well thought out and the story really pulled me in. The narration was also wonderful - love the accents!

It is quite dark, so definitely not for the faint of heart, and - suspend your disbelief slightly, but 5/5 stars for me!
