After their mother passes, three estranged siblings reunite to sort out her estate. Beth, the oldest, never left home. She stayed with her mom, caring for her until the very end. Nicole, the middle child, has been kept at arm’s length due to her ongoing battle with a serious drug addiction. Michael, the youngest, lives out of state and hasn’t been back to their small Wisconsin town since their father ran out on them seven years before.
While going through their parents’ belongings, the siblings stumble upon a collection of home videos and decide to revisit those happier memories. However, the nostalgia is cut short when one of the VHS tapes reveals a night back in 1999 that none of them have any recollection of. On screen, their father appears covered in blood. What follows is a dead body and a pact between their parents to get rid of it, before the video abruptly ends.
Beth, Nicole, and Michael must now decide whether to leave the past in the past or uncover the dark secret their mother took to her grave.

My Opinion
Home Is Where The Bodies Are by Jeneva Rose is a gripping mystery thriller that will not let you rest for a moment. The plot maintains its pace right from the start and keeps readers hooked until the end. Every family has secrets, and some of them can kill you. Each page uncovers something intriguing and exciting. I was so absorbed in the book that I finished it in a day. The characters were wonderful, with each of them under suspicion. I was certain Lucas was hiding something, but the climax was a surprise. This was the first book I read by the author, and I look forward to reading more from her. The book definitely deserves 5 stars.
