My Sister’s Lies by S.D. RobertsonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
For a decade, Hannah’s life has been pretty close to perfect – she has a great job, she’s married to Mark, and her child-free existence means she’s free as a bird. The only sadness in her life is a fall-out with her sister Diane, who hasn’t spoken to her in over ten years. But now Diane is on her doorstep – and this time, she’s got her teenage daughter Mia in tow.
When Diane asks if Mia can stay with Hannah and Mark for a few days, Hannah is glad of the chance to get to know her niece. But as the days turn into weeks and Diane doesn’t return, Hannah begins to worry. Why hasn’t her sister been in touch?
Diane is carrying a devastating secret that will destroy Hannah’s carefully constructed life. But how much is she willing to reveal – and when will she pick her moment?
No fireworks with this one, it was a reasonable read but lacked suspense which made it rather slower than I would have liked.
The ending was quite predictable in fact I had guessed early on what had happened and tied in pretty quickly who had committed suicide.
No a fan of the transcripts but they did give additional background so I suppose they were relevant although there was so much explanation on feelings in almost every page that the reader would have got the point without the transcripts anyway. I confess I skim read these anyway as they were not revealing anything new.
Didn't really excite me; an adequate read but really rather ordinary so can only give this one a 3 star rating.
I would like to thank the publisher for sending this in exchange for an honest review.
