Rated of 5
by Deborah D. (Old Forge, NY) An author to keep in mind
Overall I found this book a good read. The relationship between the two sisters was well written and enviable. The mystery was well kept but at times a bit confusing. The ending a surprise but not finished enough for my taste.

If you have ever suffered the sudden, unexpected death of a young loved one, this book will have you reliving the horror of those days. It is nonetheless, a compelling read, a book you cannot put down. You will be asking yourself who and why again and again. I'm not sure the ending really answers those questions. But I am recommending this book to discerning readers.

Sister is an intriguing mystery which combines an unusual writing approach, a well-planned plot, and absorbing insights into family relationships and grief. It is a well-written, stylish novel with enough twists and clues presented in shifts of time and details to keep the reader intrigued as the plot develops. I found it to be a fast read and fortunately so, for I did not want to put it down.
