Review: A Nearly Normal Family

A Nearly Normal Family by M.T. Edvardsson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

How far would you go to protect the ones you love?

Eighteen-year-old Stella Sandell stands accused of the brutal murder of a man almost fifteen years her senior. She is an ordinary teenager from an upstanding local family. What reason could she have to know a shady businessman, let alone to kill him?

Stella's father is a pastor and mom is an attorney. While their relationship wasn't the best, Stella is still their daughter and they both find ways to protect her. The story goes back and forth between the mom and dad and Amina, Stella's best friend. I truly could not figure out if Stella was guilty or not. The author saves this information for the very last pages. As you sit through the court case you find yourself doubting several parts of what was said and trying to put the puzzle together. But I honestly can say I sat on the edge of my seat waiting for that verdict.

It's a suspenseful legal thriller that will keep you turning the pages. Thank you #NetGalley for the chance to read this book.
