Such a Beautiful Family

A Thriller

By: T.R. Ragan

Narrated by: Siiri Scott

A riveting novel of psychological suspense about perfect lives and hidden secrets by New York Times bestselling author T.R. Ragan.

Nora Harmon has a lot to be thankful for: two great kids, a stable marriage, and now, a dream career. Software consultant Jane Bell wants Nora on her team. She’s offering a fantastic salary, flexible hours, and a chance to travel the world. It sounds too good to be true, but Jane won’t take no for an answer.

Jane acts more like a friend than a boss, and Nora’s personal and professional boundaries begin to blur. Jane is smitten with Nora’s perfect family—particularly her daughter—and far too attentive to Nora’s husband. Nora can’t help but feel insecure and unsettled.

Maybe Jane is everything she says she is: a lonely woman in need of feeling the love of a kind and decent family. Maybe Nora is just being paranoid.

Maybe not.

Critic reviews

“Readers will keep turning the pages to see what happens next. Ragan consistently delivers the goods.” —Publishers Weekly

Good and fun and kind of predictable!

This book starts out with a scene that makes you want to step in a save the girl! When a young woman gets a call from a friend for help she runs out of the house, jumps in her car and off she goes. It’s an out of control frat party. She can’t find her friend that called but runs into an acquaintance she knows and thinks she can trust. Her it gets predictable when he keeps insisting she takes a nonalcoholic drink so she will fit into the crowd. Of course the drink had been drugged. She begins feeling woozy and in danger and runs out of the house. She jumps in her car and within minutes gets into a horrible accident.
Skip ahead 24 years. Nora is married with two children. She’s in a comfortable job going nowhere when Jane offers her a dream job. Twice her current salary, travel and more. Too good to be true? It’s not long before the red flags begin to fly and as you would expect, they are ignored.
This is a fast paced book that reads like a good Lifetime movie.
If you have Kindle Unlimited this book will only cost $1.99!!

Entertaining but extremely predictable

The narration was great. Story was promising but easily predictable. I was confused on whether or not the author wanted it to be so obvious? The husband’s character seemed like an afterthought. Thought more could have developed there. Overall, it was a great way to pass the time during the holiday wknd.

Good but slow

Well written but found the story a little slow and predictable. Performance was great and well read.

Overall entertaining

The story was entertaining, even if the protagonist annoyingly kept letting the villain manipulate her after so many red flags. The narrator really stank, though. She forced her words out and emphasized the wrong syllables, changing the true intended feeling of much of the dialogue.

Great Story!

Great story! Highly recommend! Looking forward to reading more by T.R. Ragan. If they’re all as good as this, I’m hooked!
