The Silent Sister by Shalini BolandMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow and wow again. The Silent Sister is a nail biting,fast paced roller coaster ride that is packed full of so many twists and turns that by the time you reach the jaw dropping final twist,you are feeling so dizzy that all you want to do is lie down in a dark room for a few hours or until your head stops spinning.
Lizzy Beresford lives in a quaint cottage in Malmesbury with her boyfriend Joe and her cat Frank (The cat is named after Aretha Franklin but everytime Frank Or Joe was mentioned I couldn't help thinking about The Hardy Boys especially everytime Frank went missing) Anyway Lizzy starts receiving unsettling letters at her home and the shop that she manages. The mysterious sender seems to know everything about Lizzy and as the threats and intimidation intensify Lizzy begins to doubt and suspect everyone around her including her sister Emma even though they haven't spoken in years.
This gripping thriller is mainly voiced by Lizzy,I honesty found her indecisivness very frustrating and therefore struggled to feel any sympathy towards her character. I also don't like female characters who every male character fancies and wants to date.The other characters were a mixed bunch of vivid,realistic personalities,my favourite being colourful,vibrant Pippa who worked in the shop with Lizzy.Interspersed throughout the story were short snippets voiced by Lizzy`s mysterious tormentor but who is it that is hell bent on destroying Lizzy`s perfect life and why?
I loved this twisty,riveting tale of secrets,lies,manipulation and deceit,it's worth far more than five stars and highly recommended by little old me.I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.
