Description

“This thriller keeps the shocks coming right up to the climatic end.” Lisa Gardner

The DNA results are back. And there’s a serial killer in her family tree…

Liz Catalano is shocked when an ancestry kit reveals she’s adopted. But she could never have imagined connecting with her unknown family would plunge her into an FBI investigation of a notorious serial killer…

The Tri-State Killer has been abducting pairs of women for forty years, leaving no clues behind – only bodies.

Can Liz figure out who the killer in her new family is? And can she save his newest victims before it’s too late?

A gripping, original thriller for fans of My Lovely Wife, Netflix’s Making a Murderer, and anyone who’s ever wondered what their family tree might be hiding…

This was an interesting book with a likeable but naive main character. She becomes obsessed with the search for information about her biological family and a serial killer connection. I liked how it really honored the victims, much more than most books or news programs. Worth the read

I am always fascinated by books that explore DNA and previously unknown family connections. This was actually my first that explored a link to a serial killer. The Family Tree by Steph Fullin and Nicole Mabry was a nail-biter for sure! I could not stop turning the pages to get to the explosive ending. Definitely a thrill ride!

"The Family Tree" is an exciting and intriguing story that sucks the reader in from the first page. One of the books that is so hard to stop reading for unimportant things like sleep or work. The protagonists are very well defined and characterized and leave the reader wanting to know more about them, a modern story that combines modern life and old lurking evil in a thrilling and captivating way. Very well thought through plot twists leave the reader hoping for a continuation of this book.

An outstanding premise to this delightfully twisted thriller. This is a well-written, suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat thriller will leave you breathless at times in anticipation of the next twist in the plot. Don’t start reading this book if you are not prepared to stay up all night.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper 360 who provided me with a copy of this book. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

The Family Tree was so well done. I adored the characters who were sharply defined, as well as how the authors combined their writing powers to describe everything. Emotion came through well. I adored the premise most of all, something I had personally previously researched. So smart to pull that into a novel. Would recommend.

Thank you #NetGalley and Harper 360 for giving me the opportunity to read this. #TheFamilyTree

#thefamilytree #stephmullins #nicolemabry #netgalley we’ve all thought about or have done a dna type test to find out more about our family trees. But what if ….. you learn more than you wanted too? What if you’re related to a serial killer? Grab this and get enraptured as Liz discovers all about her family tree #23andme #dna #murder #bookrecommendations #bookstagram #igreads

Absolutely Fascinating! What DNA can tell us and the path it's outcome can set one on! A great read!

While it's not exactly a new story line, the authors have added a few twists and a couple of outside clues that added to the mystery. What would you do if you found a killer in your immediate family? I didn't pick the killer before the reveal, there's surprises in store for everyone.
