Thank you Netgalley for the advance reader copy.

I enjoyed this whodunnit book and kept guessing up to the end. It was a good read and had some interesting twists.

This was a very solid 2.5 star read for me. I enjoyed some parts more than others and it didn't overall drag. I would read another book from this author.

If you like a twisty turny book with an ending you don’t see coming then you will LOVE this book!! Set in a charming Maine hotel that is full of hidden treasures and murder this book will keep you guessing until the last page. I LOVED IT!!

I enjoyed "The Block Party" and looked forward to reading "One Big Happy Family".

George Bishop is the owner of a hotel called The Precipice in Maine. Charley is a 19 year old that is down on her luck and responsible for paying for her Nana's home care. George hires Charley to be a maid at his hotel. After George passes away, his three daughters ~ Vicki, Iris, and Faith ~ come to the hotel for the reading of the will. Lots of twists in the book ~ a hurricane ~ murder ~ secrets revealed.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is a creative story with lots of twist and turns and definitely keeps the reader engaged and turning pages. The author does a wonderful job of introducing characters with just enough information to keep you guessing before ultimately filling in the blanks. The chapter about Iris’s young life was mesmerizing and so well written it was lyrical. I had a feeling about how Bree fit into the picture but my guess was off just a little and the way all the characters and their back story gets tied together is simply wonderful.

I received an ARC from the publisher St. Martin’s Press through NetGalley and appreciate the opportunity to read this book, however; this did not impact my opinion.,

One Big Happy Family, by Jamie Day, is a fun, locked-room mystery with lots of contentious family drama set at a cliffside hotel in Maine with a hurricane barreling toward them. A great escapist read, highly recommend!

Overall a good book with good twisty plot that kept you engaged throughout. It was one you want to get back to to read

I would like to thank St. Martin’s Press & NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and fair review.

Wow! This book was really good. I had a hard time putting it down. There were so many twists and turns. I would like to thank Net Galley and St Martins Press for an ARC of this book for my honest review. I will definitely be looking for more books by this author.

Thank you for the advanced readers copy in response for an honest review.

This is a book about Charley who works at the precipice hotel, where the owner has passed away and his daughters have come for the reading of the will.

Just as you thought not all is well and we soon find out.

Great read

This book fell a bit flat for me. It had me hooked in the beginning and the first few chapters flew for me. As I read longer, I found myself just flipping through the pages and not really enjoying what I was reading.

What keeps One Big Happy Family from becoming a big ole mess are the multiple twists at the end. But they really are too many too late, capping off a novel that moves slower than a snail's pace. There's a lot of clueless characters in One Big Happy Family, and it isn't just members of the Bishop clan who excel at burying their heads in the sand. The first of many bad decisions-Precipice hotel maid Charley letting virtual stranger Bree hide out at the property-is like a snowball rolling down a hill that becomes the size of a mountain by the time it reaches the bottom. The writing is decent, the scenery stunning, but the tedious pace keeps them from having much of an impact. One Big Happy Family is a murder mystery wrapped up in family drama, but by the time you get to the end you won't care if anyone makes it out of this hotel of horrors alive.

This was nothing like her previous book "The Block Party". I picked this up thinking that this will be as good as that. However, this book was just disappointing. The story was so boring, ridiculous and predictable.

Fabulous book. An old hotel, a hurricane looming, 3 sisters wanting to know of their inheritance. And Charley, a devoted employee. Lots of surprises, had me turning the pages faster and faster. Read this book. I highly recommend it. Thanks to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press and the Author for allowing me to read and review this book.

Charley, a broke 19 year old ,works at The Precipice Hotel as a chambermaid and pickpockets from wealthy guests on the side to pay for her grandmother’s care at an assisted living home facility. After the death of The Precipice Hotel’s owner, George Bishop, his three toxic daughters arrive in town for the funeral which brings a whole another level of trouble for Charley.

One Big Happy Family by Jamie Day is a domestic , psychological thriller full of lies , deceit , shocking secrets and enough twists and turns that kept me thoroughly entertained.

I would like to thank St. Martin’s Press & NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and fair review.

A locked room mystery in an old hotel on a high cliff with a hurricane bearing down? Yes please. Loved Jamie Days last novel and loved this one even more. Charley Keely is a smart nineteen year old who rather than being at college, lounging in her parents house, backpacking through Europe having the time of her life is instead laboring as a live in housekeeping maid in this hotel spending her meager salary to keep her beloved grandmother in an assisted living home. Rooting for her yet? After the sudden death of the abusive hotel owner, his three daughters plus their immediate families swarm into the hotel for the reading of the will. I couldn’t decide which sister was the worst as they keep revealing their true selves as the winds and the rain increases. Charley, first worrying about the future of her job is suddenly having to worry about any future, period. Snappy dialogue, a smart plot, despicable villains keep this novel moving quickly and surprisingly with various unexpected twists.

The main plot revolves around the new heiresses of Precipice Hotel: a legendary family hotel located on the rocky coast of Maine, the three Bishop Sisters who gather at the family resort to hear the will of their late father George Bishop.

I couldn't decide which sister was the worst. Good grief!!!!! Enjoyable mystery though!

Wow, this book is filled with secrets, lies, deception and so much more, it will leave you shaking your head, asking, what just happened?
Charley is a chamber maid at The Precipice, a unique, family owned motel on the coast of Maine.
The owner, Mr. Bishop, has passed away and his three daughters are arriving for the reading of the will and to settle their father's affairs.
The sisters each have their own problems, and when a brutal storm approaches, things turn bad, fast.
Charley has her own secrets, like hiding a woman in the hotel, and worrying about how she's going to pay for her grandmother's care.

I read this book in a day, it grabbed me from the beginning and I couldn't put it down.
There was so much going on in the story, but I was cheering for Charley the whole time.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of the book.

Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read this and the publication for the chance as well I enjoy a good hotel book especially suspense or horror as my all time favorite is the shining by Stephen king. I worked in a lot of hotels and always wondered if there was a juicy tell but never heard any.

Charley is a maid at the family owned Precipice Hotel. George, the owner, recently died and his daughters are coming to the hotel to settle the estate. A huge storm is also coming to the hotel. Suddenly a murder occurs and the remaining hotel occupants are all suspects. The mystery and family dynamics are interesting and keep the story going. I enjoyed this book. Thank you Net Galley for the opportunity to read and review this fun mystery.
