We flip backwards and forwards to a much younger version and observe the strained relationship Vera has with her mother whilst enjoying a close bond with her father. The main character is Vera and her story is told in alternating timelines. Once home to a serial killer unspeakable crimes have taken place behind it’s closed doors and if it’s possible for a house to absorb the evil, to become a haunting itself then I’d say this particular home has turned into something creepy, not to mention, the house itself has become something of a macabre museum. I’m not going to discuss the plot other than to say this is about a woman, called back to her childhood home where her mother is dying. In some respects, and to be perfectly honest, I’m not entirely sure that I liked this and yet I was glued to the pages and can’t deny that the author has come up with a compelling read. So Just Like Home isn’t my first Gailey read nor will it be my last. My Five Word TL:DR Review: Disturbingly dark, haunting and compelling
