The Housewarming

I loved The Housewarming! It's a smart and suspenseful British thriller that follows a woman suffering from the tragic loss of her 2 year old daughter. The timeline switches between the day she disappeared and present day (one are after the tragic event) in a dissociative and wandering way that adds to the atmosphere. Although I predicted one of the major twists, there were plenty more at the end that caught me by surprise and left me shocked. Additionally, I love when a thriller has a message, and this one definitely does. Yes, the drama, intrigue and twists are all accounted for... but themes of grief, forgiveness, family and morals are also explored in a meaningful and authentic way. Overall, 4 stars for a suspenseful and true to life thriller!

Spoiler ahead:
Such a sad, tragic story about the death of a little child. I hated what happened, but couldn't stop reading. I suppose hope kept me reading...at first, that everything would be okay. Then there were such twists and I wanted to know how such a thing could go as far as it did. Horrible!!!
