THE FAMILY GAME BY CATHERINE STEADMAN
I’m not going to overcomplicate my review because it’s not an overly complicated book. This is a classic thriller. A plane read. A quick read. A Netflix movie.Whatever you want to call it, it does the job and it does it quick. I found this story quite enjoyable. I read it quickly and became quite…

This is a beautiful story, paired with a beautiful cover and an even…
