Home Is Where the Bodies Are

Unbelievable family secrets are revealed after both parents are gone. Good mystery.

Barbara's pick. A group of adult children come home to settle their Mom's estate and find a VHS tape that contains dark family secrets.

Slow. Sooo many unnecessary details, background, conversations, I skimmed probably 70% of the book. The only clue was that what they were assuming was too obvious.

There wasn't a lot of action for about a third of the book but there was enough that I stayed intrigued at what was to come. When the BAM happens, i was so ready for this ride. I think at one point I distrusted almost everyone and but the more I read I was torn between two people. Even until the big reveal i was still stuck between the two. Maaaaan this was a good whodunit and I loved it. You get the three siblings POV who are all very different with their own sets of issues that just add to the story. You also get a fourth POV from the mother who also adds to the buildup of this story. The ending is a happier one though.

Home Is Where the Bodies Are” was a decent read. From the start, you’re drawn into the mystery, constantly trying to piece together why something happened. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, the story hits you with an unexpected twist you never saw coming, making the ending all the more satisfying.
