My Ideas:
They are saying by no means choose a e-book by it’s cowl and I did.. I assumed this was a light-weight hearted, humorous e-book about an aged couple who by accident killed somebody. Nicely I used to be fully incorrect and can fortunately admit it.
A Good Place to Cover A Physique is the fifth standalone e-book by Laura Marshall and is printed in July 2024.
The story is narrated by Penny. She’s in her 50’s, divorced, has a teenage son Zach and her aged mother and father, Sissy and Heath are requiring extra of her time as they battle with getting older, bodily limitations and the monetary implications of sustaining their giant household residence.
Unable to assist them financially herself, they resolve to hire out the self-contained annex within the basement and that’s the place good-looking, charming and single Cooper turns up. He appears too good to be true and will he be the reply to their cash worries? Err, NO.. he’s actually the start of the issues and shortly Penny and her mother and father discover themselves terrorised by the very individual they hoped might assist.
I don’t need to go into a lot element as a result of it is advisable learn this for your self. Sure, there may be some humour and lightweight moments and sure it’s a extremely pleasing e-book which I learn in a single sitting, however the underlying feeling all through this e-book is of dread and pressure. The horrific actions and behavior of the tenant simmered in pure evil and my coronary heart broke for each Sissy and Heath.
I did point out the humour and lightweight moments above and must say Sissy deserves an award only for being “completely fabulous”.
It is a fantastic e-book about being a dad or mum and having mother and father and the sophisticated dynamics of household life. I completely cherished it and don’t have any hesitation in recommending A Good Place to Cover A Physique.
