A very readable,very powerful novel which drew me in and didn't let go until the terrifying endA triumph,thriving on relatable fears,hyper-realistic dirty homes,and understandable grief. This novel has the momentum of a train with no breaksA great Halloween read I found difficult to put down. A realistic setting,with likeable characters and some genuinely icky and creepy moments along the wayFamily Business is a story about keeping secrets and remembering loved ones,told in a plain,unfussy style whose groundedness makes the book's unfolding sense of dread all the more tangibleI can't put into words just how cleverly written Family Business is. It completely blew me away
