Publisher’s Summary
After their mother passes, three estranged siblings reunite to sort out her estate. Beth, the oldest, never left home. She stayed with her mom, caring for her until the very end. Nicole, the middle child, has been kept at arm’s length due to her ongoing battle with a serious drug addiction. Michael, the youngest, lives out of state and hasn’t been back to their small Wisconsin town since their father ran out on them seven years before.
While going through their parents’ belongings, the siblings stumble upon a collection of home videos and decide to revisit those happier memories. However, the nostalgia is cut short when one of the VHS tapes reveals a night back in 1999 that none of them have any recollection of. On screen, their father appears covered in blood. What follows is a dead body and a pact between their parents to get rid of it, before the video abruptly ends.
Beth, Nicole, and Michael must now decide whether to leave the past in the past or uncover the dark secret their mother took to her grave.

Home Is Where The Bodies Are by Jeneva Rose Book Review
The only other book I’ve read by Jeneva Rose is “The Perfect Marriage.” I liked it, but the ending felt a bit abrupt for my taste. “Home Is Where The Bodies Are” was absolutely AMAZING!
“Home Is Where The Bodies Are” is a psychological thriller, but it had me in tears within the first few chapters. Laura, the mother, passes away, and the emotions Beth experiences are so raw and relatable. Being the oldest, Beth’s sacrifices and the weight she carries hit me even harder. (I am the oldest too) Those initial chapters were rough, but the story was beautifully gripping.
Great read, loved it.
Also, can we talk about the cover? I got the B&N cover with the book sleeve aka VHS cover!
If my review does not sell you I hope the tiktok below does. Aka Jeneva’s hubby.
