The Last to Know by Jo Furniss
3.0
I'd like to thank the author, publisher and Net Galley for the opportunity to read and review this book.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. It was just enough different from other books out in print that I was curious to see where the author was taking us. The opening with the family returning to the family mansion on a rainy night was a different twist. I was instantly curious to see why Dylan's mother would turn the family away and send them off to a cottage on the property, rather than welcoming them into the family home. I had to wonder what was hiding in the house, what could be wrong in the house, to make this mother who hadn't seen her son in so many years, had never met her daughter in law or grand son, send them back out into the cold wind and rain. Overall, it wasn't the homecoming Dylan had hoped for.
So, I was drawn in from the beginning. As the story continued on I still wanted those questions answered. It was a quick read, becasue I was curious to see what was next.
There were a few bits that felt a little unnecessary - like filler. The backstory of how Dylan and Rose first met - the story line didn't really feel like it fit in with the story and it distracted me from the main plot.
This was my first book by Jo Furniss and I enjoyed it. I'll be looking for more books by this author.
