chloeknight 's review for:

The Family Remains by Lisa Jewell
3.25
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Definitely one of those books that didn’t require require a sequel.
Although it was nice to revisit the same characters and see where they were after the first book, the whole book just seemed to be a “how can we milk this cash cow”  built on fluffing out the existing characters and introducing new ones to bulk out an already flimsy plot.
