The Cousins

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying comes your next obsession. You'll never feel the same about family again.

Milly, Aubrey, and Jonah Story are cousins, but they barely know each another, and they've never even met their grandmother. Rich and reclusive, she disinherited their parents before they were born. So when they each receive a letter inviting them to work at her island resort for the summer, they're surprised . . . and curious.

Their parents are all clear on one point--not going is not an option. This could be the opportunity to get back into Grandmother's good graces. But when the cousins arrive on the island, it's immediately clear that she has different plans for them. And the longer they stay, the more they realize how mysterious--and dark--their family's past is.

The entire Story family has secrets. Whatever pulled them apart years ago isn't over--and this summer, the cousins will learn everything.

Fans of the hit thriller that started it all can watch the secrets of the Bayview Four be revealed in the One of Us is Lying TV series now streaming on NBC's Peacock!

Very good mystery with lots of twists. I wish there could have been more at the end. The reveal of what happened seemed kind of rushed. But even with that I highly recommend!

It was alright. I just felt like it was a bit anticlimactic. And I wasn’t ever on the edge of my seat, which I feel like a good thriller or suspense novel is supposed make you be.

It was interesting enough to finish it but that’s about it.
