When Jonathan Coulter dies, following a struggle with MND, he gathers his family to his solicitor’s office to hear his will and statement of wishes.
His family comprise of siblings Liv, Noah and Chloe. But then there is also Megan, his partner of the last few years, oh and his ex wife Eloise. Jonathan had an affair with Megan, causing his marriage to break up so, understandably, the atmosphere between everyone is less than harmonious.
The results of his legal documents force the family to come together - which results in tensions coming to the boil, as secrets and deceptions are unearthed.
I read One Split Second by this author and LOVED it. Couldn’t put it down. This was definitely not such a thrilling read, sadly I found it a little bland. It’s that thing again where I didn’t like any of the characters, so I didn’t really care what happened to them.
However it’s still a very well written and methodically plotted story of a dysfunctional family (aren’t they all?) If you like character led stories which reveal layer after layer of secrets then you’ll love this.
