Critic reviews

“Filled with suspense, intrigue and a cast of engaging characters, I devoured The Happy Family in two sittings. Fabulous!” Lucy Clarke, author of The Castaways

“This has all the ingredients of a classic psychological suspense – suspicion, secrets and shocking reveals. Another great read from Jackie Kabler!” Sarah Linley, author of The Trip

"Couldn't turn the pages fast enough! I don't often stay up all night reading, but Jackie did it to me again. Twisty with a killer finish!" Tess Stimson, author of Stolen

‘It’s impossible not to be drawn into the simmering, sinister uncertainty of this fabulous page-turner’ Sarah Steele, author of The Missing Pieces of Nancy Moon

I enjoyed the story even though it was very predictable and guessed who her mother was very early on and who was doing everything to her and why. But was a nice easy listen.

Listened to in one day, good read

This follows the tired and familiar pattern of drunken-paranoid-neurotic hero (usually female), but her paranoia turns out to be real, as does her neurosis in this case. Trouble is, we work out what's happening and why way before she does, and you lose all sympathy for her. I think this genre of story has had it's day. I'm writing this before I have even got to the end, and it's taken about 6 months to get this far. I won't be reading any more of this author's stories

Terrible and so so predictable

Brilliant

This book was so intriguing from the very beginning.
I did however work it out almost straight away but it didn't spoil it at all as there were other possibilities and I could have been wrong .
I am happy I purchased this book and enjoyed it very much .
