The story had some really incredible development. I am happy I listened to the audio. Edward shoots his father in the leg. Fast-paced and chilling, I couldn't put The Family Game down and was blown away by the twists, each more shocking than the last. As in her previous thriller, The Disappearing Act, I found that this British author seems to be confused about American culture. The cannon sounds just before a hovercraft appears to take Foxface's body. This thriller starts off as a VERY slow burn.

The family that is the epidemy of old money in America. And is cool with a few more people being murdered, including one of his other kids instead of just having the bad son killed or prosecuted for his murders or something? It definitely could and should be called a page-turner because those pages do turn quickly. Also, I liked the added side effects when she was on the phone or we were listening to the tapes.

Going into this one, I expected it to be similar to Good Rich People by Eliza Jane Brazier but it's not! The book has a plot you won't forget and the reader is guaranteed hours of entertainment and suspense! It seems to be a confession of a very dark family secret.
