They seem like the perfect family. But their secrets are about to come out…
I push open the door to the beautiful French villa and my clever, handsome husband and adorable wide-eyed children follow me inside, taking in the breath-taking view. This should be a blissful summer break, filled with sun, swimming and relaxation but the truth is very different.
Because my husband has just revealed the real reason we’re here.
When our friends staying at the sprawling villa greet us on the sun-soaked terrace, I smile brightly and attempt to calm my nerves. If I can just behave normally, everything will be fine. But if any one of the people sitting around the clear, blue pool discovers the truth my whole world could be shattered.
So I have to pretend we’re the perfect family and I’m the perfect wife – all the while knowing that our lies could destroy us.
If our secrets begin to unravel, how far will my husband and I go to protect them? And will two weeks in the sun end in murder…?

Just the Nicest Family is not a family drama but a psychological thriller with a murder as the backdrop of the story.
Tim Cutler has a struggling veterinarian business when he gets a big business deal and he and his wife is invited to a two week vacation in France. Tim invites a couple that Louise has no idea. However, while on vacation, a woman was murdered. No one knows the victim except Tim who seemed to be knowing the victim. Tim eventually gets arrested. Who committed the murder and what is the connection between the victim and Tim?
This was a fast paced and page turning thriller. The pacing is also good and I like how I was actually hooked into the story, wanting to know what is going to happen next. You get to know different characters and I also like the author’s style of writing. The ending was unpredictable and I think the ending was great. Overall this was a great page turning thriller and worth five stars.
