Critic reviews
“Filled with suspense, intrigue and a cast of engaging characters, I devoured The Happy Family in two sittings. Fabulous!” (Lucy Clarke, author of The Castaways)
“This has all the ingredients of a classic psychological suspense – suspicion, secrets and shocking reveals. Another great read from Jackie Kabler!” (Sarah Linley, author of The Trip)
"Couldn't turn the pages fast enough! I don't often stay up all night reading, but Jackie did it to me again. Twisty with a killer finish!" (Tess Stimson, author of Stolen)

Good read
It was a good read but I did feel the section where she was tormented went on a bit too long. I had to take a break to another book and come back to finish it as I found it too wearing and a little boring. The rest was great.

Enjoyed this
Really enjoyed this book … it was cleverly constructed snd although I guessed the ending, there were were still twists right up into the end making it interesting. The narrator was very good bringing it to life and spoke in a strangely calm and animated way … I’ll look for more by the sane author & narrator.

Really good listen
I read some of the reviews and almost didn’t purchase, I’m really glad I did. Fab narration and a although a little predictable very cleverly written story. I listen to a lot of this kind of story so bound to follow a certain pattern, so no disappointment here.. good twists and “it’s her” shouts at the book. I really liked it and couldn’t wait to listen to more

Brilliant Story
This book was so intriguing from the very beginning.
I did however work it out almost straight away but it didn't spoil it at all as there were other possibilities and I could have been wrong .
I am happy I purchased this book and enjoyed it very much .
