It is the book equivalent of seeing something in the corner of your room, in the dark, and not being quite sure whether it’s a pile of clothes or a man with a particularly sharp smile. The style of narration led me to keep questioning the nature of the plot, what might happen next, or what could have happened in the past that is being hidden. The way Sims writes is not only easy but enjoyable and engaging to read. Things soon take a turn for the horrific, but I’m not going to explain that here. This new job comes not long after the death of Diya’s roommate, Angie, and Diya has to manage her grief with the unusual (and often quite creepy) aspects of her job at Slough & Sons. ‘Family Business’ follows Diya Burman at her new job as a cleaner, cleaning up after the recently deceased. I finished my copy of this in a day, and went back to restart it the next day. In ‘Family Business’, Jonathan Sims ties gruesome and genuinely chilling horror with themes of grief and memory, in a novel which I absolutely devoured. 'Couldn't put it down really gripping and really enjoyed this book totally recommend' Netgalley reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ a first class piece of storytelling' Netgalley reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'It's a thriller, a fantasy, a horror, a science fiction it flows really well and you'll finish it before you know it.

' Great horror novel that gets scarier by the page!' Netgalley reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ People can't look away from Family Business: If Diya's not careful, she might just end up getting buried under the family tree. Why won't they speak about their own recent loss? And who is the strange man that keeps turning up at their jobs? All is not as it seems with the Slough family.
Things that get harder and harder to write off as merely her grieving imagination. Clearing away the remnants of other people's lives, Diya begins to see things. Wanting a fresh start, she joins Slough & Sons - a family firm that cleans up after the recently deceased.
When Diya Burman's best friend Angie dies, it feels like her own life is falling apart. A bone-chilling horror from the acclaimed writer of THIRTEEN STOREYS and hit horror podcast THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES
