Simmering tension turns deadly in this twisty and addictive summer mystery - a cracking family thriller.
A fast-paced, twisty thriller where everyone's a suspect. I raced through this - the perfect holiday read.
A masterfully plotted, beautifully written mystery that's tense, treacherous, and utterly unputdownable
A red hot thriller which simply demands to be read by a pool... I didn't know who to believe; lies, betrayal and buried secrets ensured I read WELCOME TO THE FAMILY in one weekend.
A sticky, sun-drenched thriller to rival the White Lotus, rich with suspicion, deception, and characters you'll love to hate.
I was transported to Italy in this utterly addictive thriller. Kate's characters are brilliantly drawn and I never knew quite who to trust - the twists are whip smart and kept me guessing until the very last page. Bravo.
Kate Gray has written the perfect destination thriller. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY combines a beautiful Italian villa, a messed up family with devastating secrets and a twisting murder mystery. A stunning summer page-turner.
