In The Silent Sister, Riley MacPherson has
spent her entire life believing that her older sister Lisa committed suicide as
a teenager. Now, over twenty years later, her father has passed away and
she's in New Bern, North Carolina cleaning out his house when she finds
evidence to the contrary. Lisa is alive. Alive and living under a
new identity. But why exactly was she on the run all those years ago, and
what secrets are being kept now? As Riley works to uncover the
truth, her discoveries will put into question everything she
thought she knew about her family. Riley must decide what the past
means for her present, and what she will do with her newfound reality, in this
engrossing mystery from international bestselling author Diane Chamberlain.
My Thoughts…
This is going to be a hard review to right, only because I
don’t want to give away everything yet I want to make sure that everyone who
reads my review purchases this book.
This is the one book I would recommend everyone read, the book of my
year. The Silent Sister is a mystery
story, but it is a strong heart tugging story.
Told from the youngest child in the MacPherson family point of view,
this story will show how everything you ever thought to be true could be wrong.
Riley was only two when when Lisa committed suicide. She didn’t even remember her sister. What she does know is that it tore her whole
family apart. I love that Riley follows
her heart, even when she is afraid of where it is heading. She learns more than she ever wanted to
know, yet manages to stay strong and follow the leads wherever they will
leave.
Diane Chamberlain’s amazing writing has left me wanting
more. I know that she is an author that
I will never hesitate to read. This is
my first book by her and she has proven herself without a doubt to be an author
I will read more of.
