It was an intriguing storyline with a great build-up. I’m am rarely satisfied with the ending of most books and they often feel rushed but by the end of Not a Happy Family, it was evident that this was a well thought-out book. It did include details about the death of the victims but it wasn’t too gruesomely described.
