I enjoyed trying to piece the clues together to work out the answer but the clever red herrings left by the author led me to also suspect the innocent at times.

It's about a girl who has to catch the bus to school every day back in the days when passengers in the single decker buses were allowed to smoke, and she hates the smell of cigarettes.

But in doing so, she is alienating her husband, and risking the fragile relationship between her and in-laws.It’s a reminder of how evil walks among us and how the scariest things are those that can happen in real life, not in horror films. It's a fun story about the relationship between a boy and a father who is a generation older than that of the other kids' dads. It’s going to be impossible to review this book without giving too much away so I fear there will be a vagueness to my comments as I don’t want to spoil the story. A story of family, manipulation, and the age-old question of nature vs nurture, Keep it in the Family is very dark and extremely twisted.

Following this clue up to the eaves, the couple are shocked to find that their dream home was once a house of horrors. Secrecy shrouds the mystery of the attic, but when shards of a dark truth start to emerge, Mia realises the danger is terrifyingly present. In Keep It In The Family John Marrs explores maladjusted relationships at their most extreme in a fast paced and compelling plot that left my head reeling. But just when they think the house is ready, Mia discovers a chilling message scored into a skirting board: I WILL SAVE THEM FROM THE ATTIC.DOUBTFIRE, based on Anne's novel MADAME DOUBTFIRE and starring the late comedic genius Robin Williams. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say that through his storytelling in Keep It In The Family, John Marrs has made me question my own sanity and actions.

I know I came up with a mixture of both of wild theories and plausible ideas as this book revealed itself to me.The bestselling author of What Lies Between Us presents his most shocking and delirious thriller yet with Keep It in the Family. In this thrilling novel from bestselling author John Marrs, a young couple's house hides terrible secrets-and not all of them are confined to the past. I thought this was an excellent technique because it gave me a chance to catch my breath and heightened the tension of the other narrative elements.

I’ve always desired to practice mindfulness properly, framing the moment with complete concentration. I felt most drawn to Mia, my heart going out to her in particular after the events at the end of part one. Every time you think all the twists have been revealed and you have it all figured out he will pull the rug from under you and turn the world upside down. Contains three short stories, “William Darling” (1-18), “You Don’t Look Very Poorly” (19-36), and “Fight the Good Fight” (37-57). It’s a house you’d never really notice but for the young couple this house is a promise of a better future.I’m a huge fan of John Marrs – both as a man and an author – so I couldn’t be more delighted than to participate in this blog tour for his latest book, Keep It In The Family. I was privileged to interview John at the Deepings Literary Festival earlier this year and he and his books have featured on Linda’s Book Bag many times.
