He Started It by Samantha Downing

 

   Family keeps secrets - from each other and from everyone else. The Morgan family is about to reveal one of their long-held confidences. It started with a road trip. It’s ending with a road trip. The Morgan siblings’ grandpa has died and left them an inheritance - to get it, they have to recreate their road trip from 20 years before. Eddie, Portia, and Beth set off (with Beth’s husband and Eddie’s wife) to complete their grandpa’s final wishes. But, it quickly becomes apparent that the siblings are hiding things - from their new spouses, from each other, and from everyone else. He Started It is narrated by Beth, who admits early in the book that she’s a cheater, and includes diary entries from the old road trip, writer unknown. Twisting and turning, Downing takes the reader on a thrilling trip with the Morgan family through the past and the present to find the truth.

Samantha Downing’s follow up to My Lovely Wife (available in print, as an ebook, and an online audiobook) is a thrilling mystery. Downing’s plot twists rescue the book from a bit of a slow start and Beth’s sarcastic and (at least somewhat) honest narration give you an interesting look into the Morgan family. He Started It is available in print, as an ebook, and as an audiobook online through the Charleston Public Library. Check out arvrls.com for more information on our online resources.
