From the author of the instant New York Times bestseller The Wives comes another twisted psychological thriller guaranteed to turn your world upside down.
Have you ever been wrong about someone?
Juno was wrong about Winnie Crouch.
Before moving in with the Crouch family, Juno thought Winnie and her husband, Nigel, had the perfect marriage, the perfect son—the perfect life. Only now that she’s living in their beautiful house, she sees the cracks in the crumbling facade are too deep to ignore.
Still, she isn’t one to judge. After her grim diagnosis, the retired therapist simply wants a place to live out the rest of her days in peace. But that peace is shattered the day Juno overhears a chilling conversation between Winnie and Nigel…
She shouldn’t get involved.
She really shouldn’t.
But this could be her chance to make a few things right.
Because if you thought Juno didn’t have a secret of her own, then you were wrong about her, too.
From the wickedly dark mind of bestselling author Tarryn Fisher, The Wrong Family is a taut new thriller that’s riddled with twists in all the right places.
REVIEW: There are spoilers with this review because it was too difficult to go around them and still discuss my thoughts. I was really excited to read this book because I love a good psychological thriller. At about halfway through there really wasn't anything that had happened except for some family squabbles were there may or may not have been some incriminating information divulged. We learn that there is some sort of stolen infant incident in Winnie's past. We also learn that there is some random homeless woman who used to be a therapist and is entirely too nosey that lives in the crawl space their home. Problem number one for me comes when someone who is as anal retentive as Winnie doesn't really notice that someone is living and walking around their home, eating their food, using their bathroom, etc. I also wouldn't really call the ending some crazy twist in the story. Don't get me wrong there is an incredibly shocking ending that kind of comes out of left field, in a way. There is maybe one little hint that something like this might happen. But it kind of seems like an afterthought to the entirety of the story. I also find it really hard to believe that someone like Terry's death wouldn't have been investigated to the full extent and that her husband was just kind of like, "meh." So because of the shocking ending and the interesting story that was woven into a lot of unnecessary dialogue and inner monologue, I give this book an over 3 out of 5 rating.
