A 'just fine' time-filler domestic mystery, sometimes bad press is good press, which is exactly what led me to pick up my first Jeneva Rose, with Home Is Where the Bodies Are being claimed online as the first half-decent mystery thriller she has published (since The Perfect Marriage, apparently). After reading this (very swiftly), I can say it is not bad at all, but it is also nothing more than an amalgamation of lukewarm, recycled ideas. I'm sure I'll forget most of it almost as fast as the rate I was consuming it (which was 2 days of audiobook listening while at work).

I did predict the big reveal pretty early on, as the setup really didn't leave much alternative options (what kind of horrible truth would parents desperately take to their grave...), and the halfhearted attempts at throwing in additional suspects never really pan out to anything substantial. But the novel did have the complicated sibling dynamic nailed, as well delivering the rural American small town vibe. (which in the author's acknowledgement she mentioned a lot were inspired by her lived experience) 

I'm glad internet discourse has brought me to checking out Jeneva Rose, but I would put her in the same category as Sally Hepworth—authors whose subject matter and storytelling are probably leaning too much into familial drama (rather than mystery/thriller) for my personal taste.
