This was my second John Marrs novel and while I didn’t love it as much as the first(What Lies Between Us). It was still enjoyable for what it was. I mean I binged it in one day so…enough said.
The book starts out strong and pulling me in completely with its alternating timelines and POVs. Very early on the book you can tell that something is not quite right with this family and there’s a sense of foreboding lurking on the pages of this book. They were some twists and turns early on in the book that kept me intrigued and unable to look away. I also really appreciated the fact that the author didn’t to go into too much detail with the murders. Most of the victims were children so I’m really glad when a lot of it was left to the imagine and it wasn’t in gory detail.
I didn’t care for any of the characters, they were all pretty unlikable but that wasn’t a huge issue for me because I was engrossed in the story.
The book features a lot of back and forth, you’re led to believe one thing and then it takes a whole different direction-keeping me on my toes at all times.
However, there is a section of this book that was a bit boring for me. I think one major event happened too early on causing the author to use a lot of fluff to fill out the pages. This is just my opinion. The ending was a little too drawn out for my liking as well, but also in another breath, I’m glad he didn’t leave any stone unturned. Having said that, that epilogue chilled me to the bone. I mean talk about twisted, sick and demented.
If the ominous endings is something I can look forward to with this author then I am all for his work.

They’re many trigger warnings in this book such as;
Infanticide, miscarriages, my least favorite trope of all(CHEATING), child abuse, kidnapping, murder, mentions of self harm and anorexia.
An enjoyable thriller filled with betrayal, lies, a twisted family and lots and lots of killing.
I will never look at another suitcase the same way again.

Couldn’t put this book down. Just when you think you’re solved the mystery, it takes a totally different path.
Loved it!

First, I just want to point out that if you need trigger warnings, maybe Psychological Thrillers aren’t your genre. Also, I do agree that much of the book is predictable, but only from a “Whodunit” perspective. Even though it’s predictable, the story still stands on how they are going to be found out or continue to get away with what they are doing. It didn’t ruin anything for me figuring out parts of the story. I stayed engaged from start to finish.

There were many points during the story that another author could/would have ended it, then perhaps backfilled with fluff. There are so many twists and turns. Excellent character development, great pace and not at all predictable. At the end you are left wondering if it has ended, or not.

This book is not like any other book I have read. While it was a longer than most thrillers/mystery it was worth every page turn. The way each character was intertwined with each other just thickened the plot. I highly recommend this book!

I have no idea how to rate this book. When I first started it, I was confused a lot (and might still be) and almost gave up on it. I’m glad I didn’t. But wow I need a minute to digest everything. I still have a few unanswered questions but I think the author did that intentionally. I think he wants the reader to come to their own conclusion on some things.
As far as the rating and if I “liked” the book – it’s hard to say I liked something this dark. I will say after the first 1/2 of the book I was hooked. I liked reading it better than the audio version. I would recommend reading this if you want something mysterious, intriguing, and dark to occupy your time.

An Unputdownable Thriller with Twists at Every Turn! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
John Marrs has once again proven his mastery of the psychological thriller genre with “Keep It In The Family.” From the very first page, I was completely hooked and couldn’t put this book down. The pacing is relentless, the characters are intricately developed, and the plot is filled with jaw-dropping twists that kept me on the edge of my seat.
The story revolves around the dark secrets hidden within a family, and Marrs expertly weaves a tale of suspense and psychological manipulation. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, the narrative would take another sharp turn, leaving me breathless and desperate to know what would happen next.
The tension builds masterfully throughout, making it nearly impossible to stop reading. Marrs doesn’t just create a story; he crafts an experience, drawing you in so deeply that you feel every moment of fear, anxiety, and shock right along with the characters.
If you’re a fan of thrillers that keep you guessing until the very end, “Keep It In The Family” is an absolute must-read. It’s one of those rare books that you’ll find yourself thinking about long after you’ve finished the last page. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good psychological twist and a plot that keeps you on your toes.

What kind of family is this???? When it gets to the point where you think you’ve got it all solved, the author surprises you even more. It it goes on and on til the last page.

Honestly such a good book. It is very dark. However, it was written very well and kept me enticed the whole time. I could read it and go to bed right after, which I don’t know if that says much about the book or me… it did make me feel a little depressed at the end. I really did enjoy it though!
