Jacquie Underdown

Three everyday couples, from one ordinary family ... and an astonishing murder plot. Outwardly, The Radcliffes are a typical suburban family. But anyone close enough to them will know that it's all for show. Matt and Nikki's life is perfect. They're happily married, work great jobs, and are raising two loveable teenage sons. Anthony and Belinda have it all--the looks, the big house by the water, and a successful business. Vaughn and Paige couldn't be more in love, and they can't wait to start a family of their own. But underneath, each couple is in crisis and there is one cause. Out of options and their backs against the wall, they discover that murder isn't a tool reserved only for criminals.

*Sighs* Don't start reading this. Because you'll keep turning the pages and then finish it and wonder why you did it all. I'm not a fan of terms such as "guilty pleasures" or "so bad it's almost good" but this book made me get it. I only read it cause it was on kindle unlimited. 

Just because it's a page turner, doesn't mean it's good. And just because a book is hard to read, doesn't mean it's not good. I barely paid attention to the writing but the editing was terrible. 

*spoilers* And while I understand that it's difficult to stand up to family, why so many of them didn't realise their own mother in law was toxic was beyond me. But suddenly she gets so crazy, everyone finds out at one go? It wasn't very believable. This book also drags on quite a bit. It's too soapy and all it did was drain my energy. 

So, to sum up, DON'T.
