Rated 4 of 5 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.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Carolyn A. (Questa, NM)
Sister
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.

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Eileen F. (Drexel Hill, PA)
A letter to Tess
This was a gripping page turner written in a style that propelled you forward. The storyteller engaged you with enough details to keep you wanting more. The shared history of siblings can be strong and comforting.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Mary Ellen (Canfield, OH)
Sister
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.
