A Nearly Normal Family by M.T. Edvardsson is a courtroom drama with the narrative told from the viewpoints of each family member — the father, the daughter (the individual accused of murder), and the mother. The daughter Stella meets Chris, a much older man, and finally has some excitement in her life. The relationship starts to get uncomfortable and Chris is found dead. The story is well structured with clues reveled slowly. The book is well written and the characters (even the minor sub characters) are well developed. I must admit that even though I throughly enjoyed this fast-paced and intriguing book, the ending wasn’t as twisty or as shocking as I was expecting and what I had hoped for from a thriller/mystery. Nevertheless, still a fun read!
