I loved it! I probably shouldn't have been as surprised by the twists as I was, but I'm a *bit* gullible, even after reading TONS of thrillers :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-53051553419728316112018-11-02T00:49:57.606-07:002018-11-02T00:49:57.606-07:00I didn't really love this one.

Of course, that book is more of a contemporary mystery while this one is so atmospheric (that house is downright spooky!) and the twists and turns of this family just kept coming! So I have to ask if you've read The Woman in the Window . . . I read it right after I read The Death of Mrs. Westaway and it blew my mind!! Incredibly, gorgeously written with a story that was absolutely mesmerizing and unpredictable. Highly recommend!
