Keep It In The Family by John Marrs
Finn and Mia moved out of their respective suburban flats to pursue their dream of a place in the country. Unfortunately, one sale after the other fell through and they ended up living Finn's mom and dad for almost a year. When a property, which has been standing vacant for almost 30 years, comes on the market, they purchase the said money pit as a fixer upper. While fixer upping, they discover seven suitcases with the remains of seven children in a hidden room. Mia, having just given birth, becomes somewhat obsessed with the mystery and soon starts to ruffle feathers, including those of Finn's dad. A very dark psychological thriller with some decent twists and turns and multiple mysteries. Marrs really shines at getting us to glimpse into the world and mind of a very different serial killer. The use of multiple narrators really worked well in bringing a pretty unique but small cast of characters to live in a psychologically unsettling and almost macabre manner. 4/5
