About this listen

When coffee shop worker, Cheryl, meets handsome stranger, Dale, it seems like Cheryl's nightmares might finally be at an end. Loan sharks have been banging at Cheryl's door for longer than she cares to remember. That is, until Dale sends them running for good with just a few words.

A romance soon blossoms between Cheryl and Dale, whose family has bought the house next door to hers. The relationship feels both exciting and safe. But when Cheryl meets Dale's family, it's immediately clear that they have dangerous secrets to hide. And as Cheryl uncovers the mystery of his family, it's clear that her life is in terrible danger...©2024 Mandasue Heller (P)2024 Orion Publishing Group Limited

Critic reviews

Gripping and unputdownable - Mandasue Heller's best yet. Loved it! (Kimberley Chambers)
Mandasue Heller never disappoints! The Family is a gritty, fast-paced, compelling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. (Roberta Kray)
It was terrifying! I kept thinking I'm so glad my husband's family isn't like this! Great writing with characters you love to hate. A frightening cautionary tale that stays with you after you've finished reading it, Mandasue Heller's at the top of her game. (Heather Atkinson)
A real page-turner. (Kerry Barnes)
Once again Mandasue has delivered. The Family is a gritty, fast-paced story and a must read for any fans of gangland fiction. A real page-turner full of twists and turns that has you rooting for the characters (Kerry Kaya)

A dark, gritty, and unputdownable read! ... I've loved all of her previous books, but Mandasue has outdone herself with The Family. Her storytelling is unmatched with characters so vivid they leap off the page. (D.S. Butler / Dani Oakley)

the worst book she's ever written

Total waste of a credit. Narrator has the most boring voice. Absolutely nothing happened til chapter 5, and that was rubbish. I've never heard 'he said/she said' so much in one story. I usually love this author, but wow, what a let down. Slow, boring, and absolute drivel.
