Mildred Story disinherited all her children and forbade them from setting foot on their island shortly after the death of her husband. The reason? Nobody knows. All explanation that was provided was a single letter with a single line," you know what you did".
Fast forwarding 24 years, Mildred sends letters to all her grandchildren, inviting them to work at her resort in summer.
And now its upto Milly, Aubrey and Jonah to find out why their parents were banished from their own home and what actually happened 24 years ago. Although it is not easy to hunt secrets when you have to hide your own too.
The story is captivating but I may warn you that the plot twist was quite gruesome and grisly. At least from my perspective.All of Karen McManus' books are an instant remedy for reading blocks. Her YA mysteries get you going. But out of all the books I have read, "The Cousins" is the best one.
Yes, her books do come with some plot holes and flaws, but the element of mystery usually covers up for them.
