Synopsis
After their mother passes, three estranged siblings reunite to sort out her estate. Beth, the oldest, never left home. She stayed with her mom, caring for her until the very end. Nicole, the middle child, has been kept at arm's length due to her ongoing battle with a serious drug addiction. Michael, the youngest, lives out of state and hasn't been back to their small Wisconsin town since their father ran out on them seven years before.
While going through their parent's belongings, the siblings stumble upon a collection of home videos and decide to revisit those happier memories. However, the nostalgia is cut short when one of the VHS tapes reveals a night back in 1999 that none of them have any recollection of. On screen, their father appears covered in blood. What follows is a dead body and a pact between their parents to get rid of it, before the video abruptly ends.
Beth, Nicole, and Michael must now decide whether to leave the past in the past or uncover the dark secret their mother took to her grave.

My Thoughts
Home is Where the Bodies Are is a slow-burn thriller about three estranged siblings who return to their small town when their mother dies. They find a home video from twenty years ago that makes them question everything about their childhood…
This book has a lot of POVs. First, we have first-person chapters written in the perspective of the three siblings. There's Beth, who's the oldest. She never left home, and she's been taking care of her mother in her final days. Next, we have Nicole, the middle child who's a writer and a drug addict. Finally, we have Michael, who's the youngest and the most successful. Years ago, he left home to make something of himself, and he's never looked back.
