Synopsis

What would you do if your child was suspected of murder? How far would you go to protect them? The worldwide bestseller with over half a million copies sold, A Nearly Normal Family is a stunning psychological thriller from M. T. Edvardsson.

'A deceptive and riveting novel' – Karin Slaughter

One night, eighteen-year-old Stella comes home late. The next morning she is accused of murder.

As parents Michael and Ulrika deal with the fallout and try to protect their daughter, they must search out the truth – but how much do they really know about their daughter?

Told from three viewpoints – father, mother and daughter – but who is telling the truth? Perfect for fans of A. J. Finn’s The Woman in the Window or J. P. Delaney’s The Girl Before.

From the Back Cover

Your eighteen-year-old daughter goes out.
You don’t know where, but she says she will be back by 11pm.
11pm comes but she isn’t. You text her, but no reply.
Then, 2am, the front door opens and you hear her go into her bedroom.
She’s home.
You check she’s OK.
‘Yes’, and you turn over.

The next morning, your daughter is arrested for murder.
And all you can think is, where was she last night? Why was she late?
And what will you say when the police ask you where she was . . .
