Book Overview

Now a Netflix Limited Series

"...A compulsively readable tour de force." --The Wall Street Journal

New York Times Book Review recommends M.T. Edvardsson's A Nearly Normal Family and lauds it as a "page-turner" that forces the reader to confront "the compromises we make with ourselves to be the people we believe our beloveds expect." (NYTimes Book Review Summer Reading Issue)

M.T. Edvardsson's A Nearly Normal Family is a gripping legal thriller that forces the reader to consider: How far would you go to protect the ones you love? In this twisted narrative of love and murder, a horrific crime makes a seemingly normal family question everything they thought they knew about their life--and one another.

Eighteen-year-old Stella Sandell stands accused of the brutal murder of a man almost fifteen years her senior. She is an ordinary teenager from an upstanding local family. What reason could she have to know a shady businessman, let alone to kill him?

Stella's father, a pastor, and mother, a criminal defense attorney, find their moral compasses tested as they defend their daughter, while struggling to understand why she is a suspect. Told in an unusual three-part structure, A Nearly Normal Family asks the questions: How well do you know your own children? How far would you go to protect them?

It hooked me!

Published by MizzyRed , 5 years ago
At first when I started this book, it was kind of hard to get into it. I was not so much a fan of the Father's section. Adam came off as too controlling, trying to keep his little world perfect, even though it was far from it. He found the witnesses and made more of a mess trying to get his daughter to be released from jail. The Daughter's section is where I got hooked into the story, learning about Stella's life and why she was the way she was. She made poor choices sometimes and had anger issues but what teenager doesn't? That part of the story, I got through really quickly and I got very invested in how the case was going who might be the killer of Chris. The Mother's section ended things and though I wasn't a fan so much of how Ulrika was, she pulled all the bits together and it was an exciting finish. I ended up liking this book more than I thought I would.
