The Last to Know by Jo Furniss

4.0

I received a digital arc of the this book for free through Netgalley. All opinions expressed here are that of my own.

Rose moves to Dylans hometown of Shropshire. The moment she arrives, she doesn’t feel at home. The people in the town seem to all have an aversion to Dylan’s family, and Rose, a reporter by day, is determined to find out why. Even more than that, there are other hands at play. Is Dylan’s family really the “bad guys” or have they just gotten dealt a bad hand.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author. There are many small stories happening within the larger picture. Something I appreciate very much. There were a lot of characters, which I usually hate because I have an awful memory and have a hard time remembering who’s who. Jo gives a little clue every time she goes back to another character to jog your memory. Thank you Jo!!
I really enjoyed Roses character. A woman determined to find out more about her husbands background and if he’s really the man she thinks she married. Then there’s her husband Dylan, is he good or is he bad. Honestly, I didn’t know until the very end. And there’s Dylan’s reclusive mother, is she crazy, does she have Alzheimer’s or is it all just and act to cover up the secrets she keep? You’re gonna have to read it to find out.
