Keep It In The Family by John Marrs

Some houses hold more than dust in their corners.

In this gripping novel from bestselling author John Marrs, a young couple’s dream home hides terrible secrets—and not all of them are confined to the past.

Mia and Finn are busy transforming a derelict house into the home they’ve always wanted when Mia unexpectedly falls pregnant. But just as they think everything is finally coming together, Mia discovers a chilling message scored into a skirting board: I WILL SAVE THEM FROM THE ATTIC. Following the clue up into the eaves, the couple make a gruesome discovery. Their home was once a real-life murder house, with the evidence still concealed within its four walls.

In the wake of that trauma, the baby arrives—and Mia can’t shake her fixation with the monstrous crimes that happened right above her family’s heads. Haunted by what she saw, she becomes desperate to dig into the past and find answers.

But secrecy shrouds the mystery of the attic. And when shards of a dark truth begin to surface, Mia realizes the danger isn’t buried in history at all. It’s terrifyingly present. She’ll do anything to protect her family—but will the previous tenants let her uncover their secret?

A twisty, propulsive psychological thriller from the master of the unputdownable domestic suspense, this is the kind of book you’ll want to read in one sitting. Pour yourself something warm, settle in, and let the sea air keep you company while the pages keep you up all night.
