“OH MY GOSH… amazing. I literally lost sleep to finish it… gripping… twists that were nail-bitingly good… had me on the edge of my seat. I loved it.” Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We should never have kept our father’s secret.

Before, my sisters and I were close. Now, a year after our father’s funeral, we barely speak to each other. Molly won’t accept the truth. Rachel can’t forgive him. And I spend all my time digging through his life, trying to understand.

Then we hear the news. A woman has been found by the docks, her wedding ring stolen. The reporter says it appears the local serial killer has returned…

But I know that can’t be right, because I know who the killer was.

Henry Martin. Our father.

Someone is sending us a message. Someone knows we lied.

An absolutely gripping suspense thriller that will have you flying through the pages and gasping at the twist. Fans of Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn and Ruth Ware will love The Killer’s Family.

I loved this book. I couldn’t put it down. I started it Saturday morning and finished it that night. So many twists and I love the way the author gave viewpoints from everyone important in the story. It was amazing!

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2023

This was a very good book which I feel was a little less than it should have been, but not the Airhor's fault. A Review here spoiled an integral part of the book for me. I do not read Reviews that contain Spoiler Alerts, but the review had no such warning. As a result, one of the surprises in the book was lost. Still, the book was good, I would recommend, but be careful with the reviews.

I liked the plot, but getting to the ending took alot of repeating about the family dynamics. Makes sense that it reinforced a lot of points about the struggles the sisters were having, but took a long time to unravel. I would recommend.

WOW……
What a page turner, it’s hard to imagine that your own parent could be a serial killer and a loving father at the same time.
So many twists and turns, I would never have guessed the outcome. What a great read.

This tale kept me reading even when I should have gone to bed! I wondered what would make a family wreck their lives to keep a secret from those they love. I never had a secret like theirs thank goodness!

Discovering your deceased father was a serial killer can't be easy. This is what makes up the bones of this book, the daughters reactions and feelings to the father they knew and loved simultaneously being a serial killer of women. An absolute page turner from beginning to end, with the characters drawing strong feelings from the reader. Highly recommended! I will definitely be buying more from this author

A sad story about family loyalty.
Was the father a serial killer ?
Have the daughters got it right ?
A twist you’ll never see coming.
