Review Detail

What I liked:
The Swifts is a kooky murder-mystery debut where the children are named from the dictionary-a family heirloom treasure. The day has come for the legendary family reunion, which leads to the family attempting to find a treasure that has long been hiding in the house. The house is unique as it has been added over the years and has many secret passages, booby traps, and hidden places. Booby traps are so prevalent in the library that they must be locked during the reunion.
Final Verdict:
This murder-mystery tale about the Swifts is fun and dark at times, but the clues and the characters' uniqueness kept me turning pages. The author shares that the characters' names, as picked from the dictionary, are supposed to express the kind of person you will be. Shenanigan Swift is attached to mischief, but as you read, you learn that this may not always be true, and sometimes we should look beyond just a name.
