Fabulous reads – Shocking incident shocks family

A Nearly Normal Family, MT Edvardsson, Pan Macmillan, IBSN: 9781529008135

MT Edvardsson’s US debut book, A Nearly Normal Family, is a win for those who enjoy court room dramas and legal thrillers.

The happy Sandell family’s lives are upended suddenly when their teenage daughter, Stella, is arrested for murder.

Her father, Adam, a pastor and her mother Ulrika, a criminal lawyer are forced to look beyond the surface and grapple with what went wrong? And, is their daughter guilty?

How far will they go to protect her is a particularly interesting question as they both work in areas ruled by moral codes and ethics. The irony.

The search for truth follows but her parents remain mystified at the reason Stella could possible have to kill a much older, shady businessman.

The tension builds as we follow the story about what happens when A Nearly Normal Family has to face their flaws and make sense of a too-close-to-home fatal crime.
