She is prepared to do anything to protect her family―but will the previous tenants stop her from discovering their secret?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. By giving each of them a voice we are able to really get inside their minds and discover who they are. But just as the house is nearly ready, Mia discovers a chilling message scored into a skirting board: I WILL SAVE THEM FROM THE ATTIC. Piece by piece the mystery of this house of horrors is revealed and Mia realises that her life might be in danger.

Haunted by the terrible things she saw and desperate to find answers, her obsession pulls her ever further from her husband. 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 won’t say too much more on this aspect other than Marrs has devised a great bunch of shady characters, I couldn’t work them out until it was too late.

Rather, John Marrs illustrates to perfection the warping of values, how we justify our actions and the deep potential for evil that exists in the most unsullied of characters.
