Summary
A Nearly Normal Family is the stunning psychological thriller from M. T. Edvardsson and asks what would you do if your child was suspected of murder, how far would you go to protect them? Do you want to know the truth? If you loved A. J. Finn’s The Woman in the Window or J. P. Delaney’s The Girl Before, you will love this.
Every murder case starts with a suspect. What if the suspect is your daughter? Would you believe her or the evidence against her?
The father
Believes his daughter has been framed.
The mother
Believes she is hiding something.
The daughter
Believes they have no idea what she’s truly capable of....
There are three sides to the story. And the truth will shatter this family to pieces.
Critic reviews
"It is only fitting that a story about a family told in three parts should involve more than one narrator. Emily Watson, Georgia Maguire, and Richard Armitage complement each other's depictions of a dysfunctional household that is hiding secrets. Armitage opens the story with a strong interpretation of Adam's views on his family and his faith, emphasizing the strict hold he has on his daughter. Watson and Maguire pair well together, voicing a mother and daughter who are parallel in tone yet befitting and distinctive. These narrators embody a family that is not so normal after all."

Everyone has a nearly normal family.
I loved this book.
It is in 4 sections with different narrators and differing viewpoints and no one knows what the others know. And we don't know quite everything at the end. But we can guess.
When the first narrator finished I was shouting no because I wanted them to continue but within minutes I was enthralled by the next narrator.
I listened to this in the car and sat outside the house, not wanting to stop listening.
I would recommend this book wholeheartedly and I am now looking for more books by M.T. Edwardsson.

SO thought provoking
This book has succeeded in turning a lot of my views on right and wrong upside down. Brilliant plot, superbly constructed and the legalities are really well explained (especially useful for non Swedish readers!)Above and beyond that, the character of Stella is superb and brings comedic moments to an otherwise potentially grim narrative. Really good on the meaning of family too, as a mum I so identified with Ulrika. The character of Adam is less easy to like but I guess that’s intended. Along with this, the narration by both Emily Watson and Georgia Maguire is truly flawless, but found Richard Armitage on the ponderous side; still can’t decide if that was just really good acting! Cries out to be televised!

Wow
I really enjoyed listening to this. The narrators were all very true to their characters. The story is very different to normal Thrillers, but GOOD different. Thought provoking and exciting. Will definitely be checking M.T Edvardsson books in future. Highly recommend ✌️

Blown away
This was excellent in every way. Told first by the father, a church of Sweden pastor, then the accused daughter and finally the mother, a high flying attorney. Excellent narration by some of my favourite narrators. This book makes you think about what you would do in same situation. Brilliant book.

It didn’t thrill
The book was good, it was well written and the narration was great. It just dragged a bit, was longer than necessary and didn’t pop at the end in the way I love a thriller to. I don’t ‘not’ recommend it, but it isn’t memorable either.

Really good
The male narrator drove me crazy. Perhaps it’s his character. Otherwise an excellent listen. I recommend
