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

Gripping and couldn’t put down

Very hard to put down this book as it was intriguing and I couldn’t have guessed what was going to happen next. Found the legal parts informative also.

An excellent storyline.

The story was fascinating to listen to. And so wonderfully told. And I still listened enthralled as I decided that I did not like any member of the family! A great audiobook. I highly recommend it.

Finished it in two days. Very good!!

I really enjoyed this audiobook. I thought the way it was written was fantastic. I'm not sure if it was the writer or the voices but it really felt like the book was written by 3 different people.

Sydney

Not a normal family. It was a little drawn out, but overall the plot was good. It kept me intrigued.

A Nearly Normal Family

The moment I noticed who the narrators were i was already in! A triple threat of actors and a knowing of how particular Richard Armitage was with the books he narrates ensured this was worth the $16 odd dollars.

A mystery, suspense, thriller deserving of a Netflix series.

Bravo everyone. Bravo.

Best book I’ve read in a long time

Every time I thought the story was coming to an end, another point of view was presented. An excellent read!
