Fetch The Family Tree Compiled By Steph Mullin Accessible In Document

book was an excellent read! Loved the prologue and the first chapter, I was hooked as soon as I saw the second chapter because Im always curious to know how the killer chose its victims.
Those cliffhangers between the chapters were killing me! I liked a glimpse into different victims and their feelings.
It was great that the story continued forward at each set of victims instead of a repeat of how the killer abducted them each time.
The ways the women were being abducted were simple but people often were too trusting and they fall prey to it.
The chapters with the victims were an intense and a thrilling read, I loved the epilogue chapter, It sounded like there will be a sequel,


This book started with a prologue showcasing a news article announcing the tristate killers kill.
Two college womens bodies were discovered in an alley by the garbage bin, Its the killersnd andrd total victims because the killer likes to kill young women in pairs.
The view of the killer appeared briefly letting readers know that he was angry when police called his first single kill sloppy.
Then the story began, told in the first person point of view following Liz, Liz,, roomie with her cousin Andie whos only one year older than her, Andie gifted Liz a DNA ancestry test as a birthday present, The results ultimately was not what she was expecting, The next chapter dug into the details of the first victim, Chapterwent back to Liz where police visited her and informed her that among her new biological family there may be a serial killer that they have been hunting for and chapterdug into victimsampand so on.
While Liz was excited to get to know her biological family, she was nervous whether the family she found could have been the serial killer the police was looking for.
Liz who loved to

dig for information also did her own research for the serial killer, Theres an epilogue at the end of the book,


The Family Tree was well written, I liked the idea of DNA testing, The organization of this story was great, Lizs view was good but I get bored with her sometimes because she repeats a lot, I understand the need for women to discuss the same thing over and over again with multiple people like in her case with her roommate, the journalist, her mom, the FBI, the bartender, and herself about what shes dealing with.
The suspense was good as well as the reveal of the killer, The reading pace for the most part was fast, I just felt it dragged a bit where Liz was concerned repeating to readers multiple times about how she loved to dig for information.
To be honest, Lizs way of digging for information was risky when multiple people warned her to stop putting herself near the prime suspect.
Then she showed up at the crime scene instead of reporting to the police was irresponsible, Besides Liz, other supporting characters were likable, Other than that, it was a good thriller and I recommend everyone to read it,

.stars!

Many thanks to HarperCollinsfor the opportunity to read and review.
Please be assured that my opinions are honest, This was brilliant! I couldn't put it down, it was a fast paced, page turner, First book I've read by these authors, but most definitely not my last, I love books that have several POV set in past amp present as you can get a clearer picture of what's happening amp why.


I haven't unearthed anything like this in my family tree yet, but can you imagine finding out you were an adopted child amp you now had to work closely with the FBI as it seems one of your new found relatives is the Tristate Killer

Many thanks to Netgalley for my ARC in return for my honest review

𝗜 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 The DNA results are back.
And theres a serial killer in her family tree

Liz Catalano is shocked when an ancestry kit reveals shes adopted.
But she could never have imagined connecting with her unknown family would plunge her into an FBI investigation of a notorious serial killer

The TriState Killer has been abducting pairs of women for forty years, leaving no clues behind only bodies.


Can Liz figure out who the killer in her new family is And can she save his newest victims before its too late

A gripping, original thriller for fans of My Lovely Wife, Netflixs Making a Murderer, and anyone whos ever wondered what their family tree might be hiding Utterly captivating, dark and twisted an excellent read that I couldnt bear to put down.
The idea behind it is stunning, current and ingenious, that a killer is tracked down due to a genealogical DNA testing result.
We follow the highs and lows of the main character, discovering all is not what it seemed with her current family, the excitement of discovering her real roots and new family members to bond with and then the horror of the family secrets she might really discover.
The narrative is believable, terrifying and edgy and there are red herrings along the way, I loved the ending, if indeed it is the ending, much as it was chilling, Chilling from page one, THE FAMILY TREE is a nailbiting exploration of a serial killer whos terrorized a region for decades, and the woman whose identity is upended when she discovers shes related to him.
This twisted and twisty thriller is sure to keep you up at nighteither because you cant stop reading, or because youre too afraid to sleep.
Got this on Netgalley for an honest review, Not sure what book the other reviewer was reading but this was written beautifully and paced well, The suspense ramps up at the end and I could not put this down! Unputdownable! The Family Tree is a fresh, inventive take on the thriller genre.
Brilliant and deliciously dark, it'll keep you enthralled until the very last page, Book ed on sitelinkwww. whisperingstories. com

As a birthday present from her cousin and housemate Andie, Liz receives aAndMe DNA kit.
When checking her results she discovers that her genetics seem to be different from her cousins and that there is no mention of her Italian heritage.
Confused she rings her mum who tells her that she and her father need to explain something they have kept from her.
Liz was adopted as a baby,

Deciding that she wants to find out more about her adoptive family she shares her results to see if there are any DNA matches without much success.
She then is advised to upload her DNA details onto a site called GEDMatch where she can check for any matches across all genetic DNA sites.
There was a tick box on the joining form which allows law enforcement to access the DNA, Liz knows that her mother was in prison at the time of her birth so she ticks it.


Not long after Liz receives a message from an agent working for the FBI who wants to talk to her about her DNA results and a familial link to a multiple homicide case they have been working on.


The Family Tree is an absorbing and gripping tale of one woman who by checking her DNA for her heritage not only discovers devastating information about her life but also frightening information that someone she is related to is a serial killer.


The serial killer has been killing for over forty years, choosing two women at a time and killing every two years.
I loved that the book had chapters from each of the double murders and shows you exactly how the killer abducted his victims and the victims thoughts and feelings.
This was something I hadnt come across in a novel before,

Whilst I rushed through the book, reading it in a couple of days, and thoroughly enjoyed the exciting plot, I cant say I liked Liz much.
Her attitude towards her parents that had raised her since being a baby was atrocious, I understand she was hurt for not being told she was adopted but she went over the top and was quite whinny too which made her feel a lot younger than she was.


The story is quite intense and dark at times, I loved the uniqueness of it and the twisty thrill of trying to fathom out who the TriState Killer could be.
If you are looking for a thriller that stands out from the norm, this would be the one to read.
