A Family's Trust
Family are the ones you can trust…aren’t they?
Reeve Elliot and Jessica Williams are polar opposites. In contrast to Reeve’s privileged upbringing, Jess suffered intense emotional trauma in the foster care system—trauma she’s tried to bury yet has recently come back to haunt her.
As Jess does her best to deal with her past, tragedy shakes the foundations of Reeve’s present. But heartbreak and grief come with a silver lining—the unexpected knowledge she has a half-sister, Jess.
Discovering their biological link, Reeve pushes to form a bond with her sister, a bond tested by Reeve’s unpredictable behaviour and fears she is following in her mother’s footsteps of early-onset-dementia.
But family is everything, and the sisters are committed to supporting each other. However, that’s easier said than done when a large inheritance is at stake, and the lines between greed and family and right and wrong begin to blur.
Someone is lying. Someone is manipulating the truth. But is it one of the sisters? And are they even sisters at all?

Reeve Elliot is happily married to her second husband Luke, she has a teenage daughter Bella and works as a high school teacher. Reeve’s mum passed away a year ago from dementia, it’s been tough and especially for her dad Martin.
Jessica Williams is a social worker, she finds placements for children stuck in the system and she was a foster child herself. Out of the blue Jess is contacted by Martin Elliot and he's father, he explains she has a half-sister Reeve and Martin is keen for his daughters to meet.
Jess would love be part of a family, her mum died when she was young and she's lonely. The sisters meet, they both have an open mind and hearts and what could possibly go wrong. Reeve has been having issues with her memory, completely forgets what’s she does and people tell her she’s been doing strange things, she’s worried she has dementia like her mum?
The bond between the sisters deepen, but they have no idea that their new sisterhood will be tested in a way they could never have imagined.
Like the characters, while you are reading the narrative you have to try and sort fact from fiction, it’s full of secrets and lies, tragedy and manipulation, you wonder whose been played and controlled and both Reeve and Jessica wondering who they can trust and are they really sisters after all.
This is the third book I have read by Australian author Louise Guy and it kept my interest the whole way through, full of lot of twist and turns, I highly recommend A Family's Trust if you’re looking for a light on thriller to keep you on the edge of your seat and nothing too scary.

Jessica Williams had a traumatic past, in foster care from a young age, in and out of different homes. She was fifteen when her life changed and now, at forty, she knew the trajectory her life path was on was the right one. Jess’ boyfriend had just left her, and she felt surprisingly calm about it. Her neighbour and best friend, author Trent, was a great sounding board, so when she discovered the father she’d always hated because of what he’d done to her mother all those years ago, wanted to see her, she was torn. And when Jess discovered she had a sister, Reeve, she was excited. She’d always wanted a sister.
Reeve Elliot was happily married to Luke, a trauma surgeon, but her fifteen-year-old daughter, Belle was ‘at the age’ and Reeve wasn’t sure what to do next. Her ex-husband Nick, Belle’s father, was kind and caring, taking the volatile teen whenever necessary. But strange things began happening in Reeve’s life, and she was terrified she was heading for the same diagnosis her mother had had – early onset dementia. Reeve’s father Martin was a kind and generous person, as well as a very astute businessman and Reeve knew he always had her back. So when she discovered about Jess, she wasn’t sure what to think – although she was thrilled at the thought of a sister. If only this issue with Reeve’s health wasn’t derailing her plans constantly…
A Family’s Trust by Aussie author Louise Guy was brilliant!! Such a clever plot and the intrigue, weaving and twisting of it all was great. I loved the book and raced through the pages, needing to find out what was happening. The characters were well written, well fleshed out, and I felt I was deeply entrenched in their lives, watching from the sidelines to see who would do what next!! Such a fabulous read! Highly recommended.
With thanks to the author for my digital ARC to read in exchange for an honest review.

WOW, WOW and WOW this book is awesome what a fabulous story, truly do not miss this book it had me turning the pages so many thoughts going through my mind as I got to know the characters, come along and meet Reeve Elliot and Jess Williams as their lives are turned upside down, who can you trust is there someone manipulating the truth?
Jess Williams has had a life in foster care and suffered for it and has kept a secret for twenty five years, but she is strong and has done well for herself and now working to make sure that no one else in the systems goes through what she did. Out of the blue she gets a call from a solicitor saying Martin Elliot would like to meet her that he is her father, the father she always hated and her life is just about to be turned upside down again.
Reeve Elliot has led a very privileged life with the best of everything, a loving mother and father and wealth but her mother’s health causes problems in the end with early on set dementia and then her father is ill as well and then the most terrible of accidents see her lose her father. Reeve has a fifteen year old daughter Bella and is happily married too her second husband Luke who is a surgeon, stress is a big thing in her life at the moment and some strange things are happening in her life could she be becoming unwell as her mother?
With her father’s will Reeve discovers that she has a sister, her and Jess hit it off really well but with so much money involved and pressure from other people and with Reeve’s health, and Jess discovering things that changed the course of her life, life is changing very quickly for them all, what is happening who can be trusted, someone has to be lying, maybe, but who?
This book is so well written, it has a cast of fabulous characters, with twists and turns truly it had me turning the pages I had to get to the end, I was one the edge of my seat, the way MS Guy made these characters come to life on the pages, it is a brilliant story and I loved it, I do highly recommend this book, truly it is a must read.

A Family's Trust by Louise Guy. (2022).
**Thank you to the author for getting in contact and sending me a free copy of this novel which was published 14 June 2022, I am very appreciative**
Reeve and Jessica are polar opposites. Reeve had a privileged upbringing while Jess suffered intense trauma in foster care. But someone wants to blackmail Jess for what she did when she was a teenager. As Jess struggles with the past, Reeve struggles with the present. Her unpredictable behaviour and memory loss are similar to her mother's early-onset dementia. Then a suspicious fire brings heartbreak. But with despair and grief comes the silver lining that Jess and Reeve are half-sisters. Reeve is excited but others in the family aren't. With a large inheritance at stake, the lines between family, greed, right and wrong begin to blur. Someone is lying and manipulating the truth. Is it one of the sisters? Are they even sisters at all?
This was a great engaging domestic drama fiction. The narrative alternates between Jess and Reeve's perspectives as they discover they are half-sisters, while also dealing with traumas both past and present. I found the descriptions of Reeve's deteriorating behaviour particularly powerful; the reader can feel Reeve's utter confusion as she is told about horrid things she is doing and saying but they are things that she can't remember at all; a horrifying notion really. Equally as horrifying and traumatising is Jess's experience in foster care as a teenager; this is gradually revealed as the book goes on and it is horrendous to even imagine. With twists and turns, this story will keep readers glued to the pages.
Overall: I would recommend this novel for those that enjoy a domestic drama with a psychological thriller feel; maybe best described as a family drama pushed to the utter extremes - no matter the specific genre label, it's an entertaining read.

Thank you Louise for sending us a copy to read and review.
Domestic drama slash noir or psychological thriller as a genre has become a phenomenon.
Storytelling goddess Louise Guy is a huge standout in the category and with five titles, all five star reads, under her belt, book six is one that’s not to be missed.
A Family’s Trust is smart, brilliant and totally addictive written by a truly talented Aussie author.
Jessica works in the foster care system and as a teenager suffered deeply in that same system but left it in the past.
Now the past has returned and is intent on hurting her again.
Reeve begins to show signs of early onset dementia.
Her memory loss and nasty outbursts have everyone on edge.
When a tragic fire sets of a chain of events, an unexpected twist brings a silver lining.
But then lies, secrets, untruth, manipulation and emotional drama all rear it’s ugly head.
Every time a Louise book arrives on our doorstep, the world takes second place as I sit back relax and spend all my free time devouring the novel, knowing I’m going to be excited, shocked, satisfied and extremely delighted basically I inhaled it.
Its intense, captivating, fascinating, emotional and dynamic.
Louise has many strengths as a writer, the plot as a whole is entertaining, character development is sharp and the storyline scenario is authentic and exciting.
Perfectly paced, strong structure and shifts seamlessly and is completely hooking from the very first page.

Setting: Melbourne, Australia; modern day.
Jess Williams was brought up in foster care and now works with a charitable organisation that helps other children in the foster care system. Then, out of the blue, she is approached by wealthy businessman Martin Elliot who claims to be her father - in the light of his own health issues, he wants to establish contact with Jess and introduce her to her half-sister Reeve before it is too late.
Jess is initially angry with Martin for abandoning her and her mother with little means of support - but is shocked by a revelation from her father that throws a whole new light on her early life...
Meanwhile, Reeve is now married to trauma doctor Luke, having divorced former husband Nick after he had an affair - but still has contact with him due to their teenage daughter, Bella, with whom Reeve has an increasingly tempestuous relationship. After several personal and professional issues at the school where she teaches, Reeve is concerned that she is going down the early-onset dementia route that led to her mother's premature death.....
After their father's untimely death in a house fire, Reeve and Jess get together and start to form sisterly bonds - but some doubt is cast on their relationship by Reeve's husband Luke so they decide to undertake DNA and paternity testing to establish the truth. But is anyone really telling the truth?...
I have read and enjoyed several books by this author but this one is head and shoulders above the rest! I think this is mainly because my previous reads were good family sagas but this one had a strong added element of psychological thriller that made it a totally gripping read from start to finish. I had started to have some suspicions of who was behind some of what was going on but, even though I was not totally right in the end, none of it detracted from my overall enjoyment of the book and it was certainly a top-rated book for me - 9.5/10.

Domestic Noir/thriller/drama isn't a genre I read a lot of, years ago I did, but these days I limit my reading to just a few select authors. Louise Guy's newest novel had me completely hooked whilst also being scared to read on because I was so anxious about what was going on for the characters and what would happen next.
Louise Guy has written characters who seemed so real to me that I was drawn into their dramas, their relationships and their emotions as if I actually knew these people, especially Jess and Reeve. It took me a bit longer to relate to Reeve than Jess, but once caught I was horrified at what she was going through with her possible early onset dementia and the repercussions of things she had no knowledge of doing or saying. Jess's past trauma within the foster system was terrible and it doesn't help to know that these sorts of things still occur, I liked that Jess as an adult was working in the foster system in order to try to make things better for those going through now. As things in Jess's past come to light both good and bad secrets are uncovered.
Not only are Jess and Reeve going through their personal dramas but added to that is the passing of Martin and what this means to both women and the consequences of his life and his death.
As the story progressed I began to have a few theories about what was going on and my anxiety ramped up, I wondered if things were going to turn out well or not. While one of my theories was correct, there were many twists in the story that had me thinking 'oh my god' quite a few times.
This was a well-written novel with its secrets woven carefully together to create an engaging read that I recommend to anyone who enjoys this genre.

Wow, what a page turner this one was. Two women two sets of circumstances which will unite them in more ways than one! This book had me glued to each and every page reading about Jess and Reeve and what was going on in their lives. Jess a foster care manager with a secret past and Reeve who is slowly losing everything that is held dear to her. There are twists, turns and red herrings galore in this domestic suspense novel. I swear that Louise’s books get more intriguing with each new release - such a brilliant storyteller!!

A fabulous read and hard to work out who the villain is.
June 24, 2022
Once I got past this being so different from the other Louise Guy books I've loved so much I was able to appreciate the excellent way A Family's Trust is written.
The cover is brilliant. It doesn't become obvious why the cover is so apt until quite a way through the story but when it does it is simply WOW.
I usually identify quite strongly with Louise's characters. I didn't with these. I had empathy for Jess and Reeve and thought their father was a wonderful character and as is usual in Louise's books the characters are well drawn. It is impossible to not feel sympathy for Bella, Reeve's daughter, a teenager whose Mother is acting so out of character.
The way the story unfolds is often tense. The unfolding and conclusion is well done. You often feel "this can't be happening" but when it plays out it all fits.
Very well written and well worth reading. 4.5 stars for me.

This was my first book by the author and I really enjoyed it. The book was part domestic thriller, part psychological thriller which I really liked. Throughout the book I had it narrowed down to three people who could possibly be the villain, then towards the end I did guess who it was as well as a few other connections and things that happened, but I did like that for most of the book I was guessing and was going back and forth about who and why. The characters were all pretty much likable other than maybe Bella, who got me a little annoyed at times. Overall it was a good book and I'm anxious to read more from this author.

Breathtaking
What an absolutely amazing read right from the beginning to the end. It had everything in it that needed to be done that I was able to make the characters out. They all performed very well. Even though I worked out some of the plot in so,e smaller parts it had me wondering. Overall, I’m extremely happy to have spent quite a few hours reading this mist excellent read. It did not disappoint. Very worthy of five stars😊

This book was so well devised with the many diverse characters, traits and twists all up in the air that I didn't enjoy it as thoroughly as I felt sick and anxious always concerned and wondering what was going to happen next as who was going to be affected.
I know that means the Author did a great job but it just didn't give me a nice experience.

a master story teller
I have quickly become a fan obsessed with reading books by this author. I ready this in a day! It’s unpredictable and shocking in a multitude of ways. It’s also raw and real and touching while also including good doses of humour! This book has it all, and won’t disappoint! 👍👍

Predictable
Showed a lot of promise but the plot was obvious from very early on. The ending was completely predictable and twee, with everything having a very convenient conclusion.
Second book I've read from this author, after I thought the same about the first one. Won't be reading anymore.

Emotionally charged with a twist or four!
Emotionally charged with a twist or four! This book will have you reaching for a tissue now and again , as well as feeling irritated by Reeve’s overly salacious husband Luke. Solid 4 ✨ and I’ve found a new author I enjoy.

I received a copy of this ebook in a Goodreads giveaway. I really enjoyed this book, I was very engaged by the characters and couldn’t wait to see how things turned out for them. While I did predict the twist I found the story entertaining enough that I don’t hold that against it.

Started reading in December, set it aside around 50%, picked up in April and finished out of pure curiosity. Reason for this was my exasperation with the female characters naivety/stupidity.
Certain aspects of the plot were discombobulated and/or unnecessary. Liked the sisters strong character.
