Over the years, I have tried to enjoy more and more different types of thrillers. I would consider The Family Plot a different type of thriller. It was a terrifying, exciting, and thrilling psychological novel that left my brain twisted in a knot.
When family members, the Lighthouse’s, meet on Blackburn Island for a memorial, things start taking a turn for the worse. Blackburn Island has been known for suspicious murders by a serial killing that is still on the loose. This begins spiraling out of control for Dahlia Lighthouse who starts searching for clues for a brother that went missing when she was younger.
I found The Family Plot a fun, entertaining read. At some points, I did find myself with a confused look on my face, as I can’t really relate to a family who could own an island if they desired. It definitely had a strong resemblance to the movie Knives Out, which was based around a rich family trying to solve a crime. I did, however, still find this an enjoyable read, and I look forward to whatever this author writes next.
