The Family Plot by Megan Collins has an interesting premise for a mystery and family drama rolled into one. The mystery of the book unfortunately, for me, is not a mystery for long, and the family's obsession with true crime is to an extreme as to be far-fetched, unbelievable, and somewhat comical. Because the story is one of adults coming back to their childhood, much of the story is also "told" as opposed to the story unfolding. Sadly, despite the interesting premise, this was not the book for me.

At twenty-six, Dahlia Lighthouse has a lot to learn when it comes to the real world. Raised in a secluded island mansion deep in the woods and kept isolated by her true crime-obsessed parents, she has spent the last several years living on her own, but unable to move beyond her past; especially the disappearance of her twin brother Andy when they were sixteen.
This is a dark, gripping thriller with fascinating characters who are named for true crime killers and those who have been killed. The story is told with Dahlia's POV and the plot is a creepy, twisted story with a shocking finale in the end. I'm looking forward to my next book by Megan Collins. If you like creepy, dark mystery, then you will love this book.
