An Unthinkable Thing did not read like a typical thriller, which was very refreshing to me when other thrillers follow similar plot points.

I enjoyed this novel immensely. The world-building isn’t heavy-handed at the beginning - it’s very easy for the reader to get quickly immersed.
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the Publisher in exchange for an honest review. The Adler’s seemingly had a perfect life – a beautiful house, a well-maintained yard, and status-symbol cars. Viv and Thomas Adler are an incredibly hard-working couple that makes sure their appearances are impeccable. But behind closed doors, everything slips away and is not as perfect as it seems.
