The Happy Family: The gripping new psychological crime thriller from the No.1 Kindle bestselling author of The Perfect Couple

Product Information

A knock on the door is about to turn her life upside down as an unfamiliar woman stands on her doorstep. I was so drawn in by every family member, from Natasha, wanting to be a stand-up comic, to Suhani, in pursuit of perfection and Bina, the mother. She got to keep her large house after the divorce, has an amicable relationship with her ex husband, and a close circle of friends among her colleagues at the health centre and her neighbours. You would think people on the edge of a financial windfall would be deliriously happy, or at least grateful in their security, but not these family members. Soon Beth is introducing her mother to her friends and colleagues and they are all incredibly happy for her and accepting of Alice.

This is a thriller about these rich parents who have their kids over for Easter, but these parents are kind of assholes to their kids and they put all kind of ridiculous expectations on them, and on the morning after Easter, the parents are found brutally murdered in their home. Alternating between everyone, you get a full picture of what being a part of the Merton family was actually like.

I talk about it as wish fulfillment because I do think it gets a bit oversimplified and resolves a bit quickly. Then there's the two other women we get to meet Robyn her housekeeper n nanny and a lovely homeless lady Nadia. I chose it partly on the basis of recommendations from friends who have read her earlier novels and because it tackles the issue of gaslighting.

Beth is a busy but happy divorced mother of two young children but her life has not always been easy.

I still had fun reading this one and will always pick up a Lapena novel knowing pretty much what to expect.Even though I didn’t care that much for Beth as a character it was still sad to see how much her life spins out of control, particularly when intimate film footage of her is posted on social media.
