A Family of Strangers

By: Emilie Richards

Narrated by: Vanessa Johansson

Could a lifetime of memories...be a lifetime of lies?

All her life Ryan Gracey watched her perfect older sister from afar. Knowing she could never top Wendy’s achievements, she didn’t even try. Instead Ryan forged her own path while her family barely seemed to notice.

Now Wendy shares two little girls with her perfect husband while Ryan mourns the man she lost after a nearly fatal mistake in judgment. The sisters’ choices have taken them in different directions, which is why Ryan is stunned when Wendy calls, begging for her help. There’s been a murder - and Wendy believes she’ll be wrongfully accused.

While Wendy lies low, Ryan moves back to their hometown to care for the nieces she hardly knows. The sleuthing skills she’s refined as a true-crime podcaster quickly rise to the surface as she digs for answers with the help of an unexpected ally. Yet the trail of clues Wendy’s left behind lead to nothing but questions. Blood may be thicker than water, but what does Ryan owe a sister who, with every revelation, becomes more and more a stranger?

Is Wendy, who always seemed so perfect, just a perfect liar - or worse?

A unique story of love and betrayal.

It was hard to not listen to the entire book at once.
This book is about family and trust. The story is beautifully woven, and the ending is very good. I highly recommend reading this book.

Family of strangers

Loved this book and the unexpected twists that occurred. Families can definitely become messy at times.

Better as it went along

I think this story started slow but somehow held my interest. I couldn’t figure out ‘who done it’ so I wanted to keep reading. It got much more interesting toward the end. I would recommend reading this book.

it's was good just not exceptional

I enjoyed it. it was easy to follow along with and listen to. But also pretty predictable. There was one or two surprises. I'd recommend it for sure.

Fantastic

My first read by this author and loved all of it! Exceptional story line. Very unexpected and created story for sure!

Good devours evil...again.

Did not disappoint. Twists and turns through the family and kept me listening intently. Ended as I wanted and predicted.

little bit of love, crime, & mysterious family

Really good story, the narrator did a really good job. I already love crime podcast for the fact that she was a podcaster made it more interesting.

Fun story with a sense of humor.

Very entertaining and well performed! At first I was expecting a more serious story, but it has an Evanavichesque quality minus the over the top crazy characters! I very much enjoyed the book!

Kept me wanting to listen to have the story unfold.

I liked the characters, very well developed story line. I enjoyed the personality’s and learning what made them the way they turned out being who they were.

Ryan

Extremely good reading, I would recommend it to anyone. The twist and turns were enjoyable.
