The Killers Family-Miranda Smith- psychological thrillerThree sisters have just lost their father. A short few months ago their mother died of cancer so it is left to the women to go through both parents' belongings. On the night of the funeral, unable to sleep, they wander into their fathers shed. What they accidentally find leaves them bewildered. Could their father have been a killer? If so, who is now behind the recent spate of killings that appear to surround them? Someone knows more than they are letting on and why is this happening?
Oh my life! Within a few pages I was racing through this- to me a sign of skillful writing and an excellent plot. I couldn't see who or why and felt the bewilderment of the sisters and the tension between the pages. A man they loved and thought they could trust died suddenly and then the reveal of who he could possibly be. A well thought out, cleverly crafted plot with likeable characters (or not!) and a real page turner. Twists, turns, clever and captivating. An enthralling read
