About this listen
The worldwide bestseller, over half a million copies sold. A Nearly Normal Family is the stunning psychological thriller from M. T. Edvardsson, which asks what would a parent do if their child was suspected of murder, and just how far they’d go to protect them . . .
'A deceptive and riveting novel' – Karin Slaughter, author of Girl, Forgotten
One night, eighteen-year-old Stella comes home late. The next morning she is accused of murder.
As parents Adam and Ulrika deal with the fallout and try to protect their daughter, they must search out the truth – but how much do they really know about their daughter?
Told from three viewpoints – father, mother and daughter – but who is telling the truth? Perfect for fans of A. J. Finn’s The Woman in the Window or J. P. Delaney’s The Girl Before.
'An absolutely fantastic read' – Jo Spain, author of Don't Look Back
'An utterly compelling premise . . . a layered, intelligent novel' – Fiona Cummins, author of Into the Dark
'A canny, intensely suspenseful legal thriller' – Scott Turow, author of Suspect
'I couldn't go to bed until I finished it. Effortlessly brilliant' – Sandie Jones, author of The Other Woman
'I couldn't put it down' – Michelle Frances, author of The Girlfriend
'An unsettling page turner. Highly Recommended' – Adam Hamdy, author of White Fire

Wonderful
I’m so glad to have come across this book. I’ll have to admit, I found the beginning with the father speaking a tad tiresome, but the story really developed and I found myself becoming very fond of Stella and her good heart. The beginning laid the foundations and helps the reader to understand, at least partly, why Stella is the way she is. The ending is very satisfying in lots of ways and it honestly brought me to tears. I’ll miss this book and will look forward to reading more by the authors.

OK, but not gripping
This got off to a very slow start, but did get better. The style and the dialogue felt unnatural and that made it hard to suspend disbelief. The author was contriving not to reveal the vital information that we were all waiting for until the very last sentence - i.e. who dun it.

Interesting Read
I enjoyed the book. Not sure if I had any expectations .. but I ended up really enjoying it. Finished it pretty quickly.
Also a few hidden lessons in the book - I recommend.

I couldn't stop listening!
I got this on a daily deal and I am so glad I did. This is another author I can add to my must read more list. The story was brilliant and I loved the way it was laid out. The only thing that put me off a little was the narrator in part 1 because his telling sounded a bit off somehow. Like he might be better narrating a mills and boon novel perhaps! The other narrators were great though so don't let that out you off.

Great twist. Very clever.
Very good. Sagged slightly in the middle but all the missing pieces of the puzzle came together very satisfactorily. Found the main protagonists all slightly irritating but overall, very good.

Well-paced twisting and turning plot
I throughly enjoyed this storyline. The characters were multilayered with new information revealed carefully.
The use of multiple narrators was beautifully used to sustain the suspense.
The narration by all three was enjoyable to listen to.
I couldn’t stop listening! Highly recommend.

A twist & turns listening experience
The story keeps you gripped to the end. Excellent narration especially as it gives a voice to each of the main characters, this brings the authenticity and feeling to the story alive. A good listen for all those with secretive teenagers that won’t engage with you and for parents that’s despite the worst that can happen would do anything to protect their family.
