Andi’s family has always been small, just her, her mom, and a few of her mom’s friends. But now her mom, her best friend, is suddenly hiding secrets. Big secrets. And avoiding her. The woman next door, who has been like a second mother, is now carrying a gun and sneaking around. And the man, Andi called Uncle Scott, has willed her a house in the country. But someone is already using it … to traffic drugs. Was Scott involved? Why did no one tell her he’d died? And why does her key unlock the mansion next door?
Marc, who has become her new neighbor, knows more than he’s telling her. But then he’s a lawyer and Scott’s friend. And living in a mansion that is well above his means. What is he hiding?
Unsure where to turn, Andi finds herself caught in a catastrophic lie. She turns to Marc to help her find the truth, hide the drugs, discover who they belong to, avoid being killed, and protect her family at all costs.
But what if it is family that is behind it all?
Fractured Lines Reviews

Andi and her mother have always been a close-knit family. Andi never knew who her father was, but Uncle Scott was always there to help out. Then her mother, Delilah, gets a mysterious phone call and is shutting Andi out of her life and won't answer her phone calls or text. The Gorman family is rich and powerful but evil except for one son, Scott. Scott and Delilah fall in love and have a daughter, Andi, that they keep hidden from his family. Scott is on his deathbed, he sets things in motion to provide for those he loves. This causes many problems for all concerned, mostly Andi, her mother, and Scott's lawyer. There are many secrets and half-truths. As Andi is trying to find out what is wrong with her mother this causes more chaos for her. It also puts her and others in danger. Can things ever be righted again? An outstanding story that proves you can't always judge families by what they want to 'show the world'. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book from NetGalley.

I really enjoyed Fractured Lines, it took a while to get into it but I put that down to having just read a 21 book series.
As a dyslexic reader it is great to be able to get into a book and enjoy it.
The twist and turns were enthralling. It was a good read. I liked that it was perfectly believable and you could see that would be or even some of our current politicians (both USA and UK) would be like Mr Gorman senior. Nigel Keeble - Cornwall, United Kingdom -
This one really didn't go in the directions i was expecting. It was full of just enough twists that what you expected didn't always happen when you expected it. While twisty and a little over the top, the story line flowed nicely so you didn't get overwhelmed.

Fractured Lines by Maggie Thom starts off a little slow but quickly builds suspense as Andi tries to figure out what is going on with her mom, “Uncle Scott,” and her neighbor. Imagine inheriting a cabin from someone you didn’t even know died. Why would he will her that property with its strange goings-on? How was her mother involved and why was she not answering questions? And the story keeps getting more convoluted.
Characters seem unreal and too convenient, relationships, at times, strain reality, and the timeline is rushed. Other than that, Fractured Lines is an enjoyable read. -
Unusual
This book is full of real life situations that are in Very unusual ways. The characters are likeable and the story mainly positive. -
There was a lot crammed into this book! Family intrigue mixed with sordid mystery made for an engaging story. The writing style isn’t to my usual taste, being kind of dramatic while I prefer a straighter style, but it fit the plot-line well as that was also pretty dramatic!

I really enjoyed this book. Family secrets are the main theme of this book. The author did a great job with the twists and turns going on. There's a lot crammed in to this, but it's a great read.
