A review by gellyreads
The Family Next Door by Sally Hepworth

emotional mysterious sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

I'm not sure that Hepworth does the greatest twists, but I love how much she integrates the mystery with the characters and I felt like this one was almost too cluttered with the POVs, until it felt like it all paid off. I love some good use of foils!
