Nothing can break the bond between sisters ...
When Beatrice gets a frantic call in the middle of Sunday lunch to say that her younger sister, Tess, is missing, she boards the first flight home to London. But as she learns about the circumstances surrounding her sister's disappearance, she is stunned to discover how little she actually knows of her sister's life - and unprepared for the terrifying truths she must now face.
The police, Beatrice's fiance and even their mother accept they have lost Tess but Beatrice refuses to give up on her. So she embarks on a dangerous journey to discover the truth, no matter the cost.
Rating: 5 Stars
Positives: There are so many twists and turns in Sister that its hard to begin. We meet Beatrice the elder sister who right from the very beginning suspects foul play. After all she is the one who knows her sister best. Even after a verdict of suicide she refuses to give up on Tess. But all the twists and turns, all the curve balls are nothing compared to the ending of the book. This really is a stunning debut novel from Rosamund Lupton with lovable characters such as Kasia and Tess and Beatrice and there 's a brilliant plot behind it all. You can see from the depth of knowledge that Lupton goes into that she has really done her research on the medical side of things for this story.
Negatives: If anything I think my main bug bear with this story is that we are convinced whilst following Beatrice that so many different characters are capable of killing Tess. And in the end we don't see what happens to several of these characters like Emilio Codi or Simon Greenley.
Would I recommend this book? Yes definitely. If you want a book full of grief and happiness with a detective crime thriller twist then Sister is the book for you.
