The Second Home by Christina Clancy
3.0

ARC provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Every now and then I crave a good dramatic mystery. Especially one that’s focused on family, since family ties always hold something special in a way. The Second Home by Christina Clancy felt like it would fulfill that need seamlessly.

The story started out very strong. Many new occurences were presented tot he reader from the beginning, and new characters were introduced. I couldn’t wait to discoverhow everything would fit together. The best thing that could happen for me in a book like this is when it keeps me questioning the outcome until the very end. Unfortunately, about halfway through I saw exactly how the entire story would play out, and I ended up being right. However much I love being right, I always prefer to be surprised when it comes to a book.

Looking back on my reading experience, I do have to say that I did enjoy this book a lot. Especially the different characters who told the story managed to capture my attention, and the relationships between them were definitely interesting to read about.
