Description

With Rosamund Lupton, I started wrongly by reading her second book firstly. Sister, her debut novel didn't disappoint me at all. Written as a letter to her deceased sister was an excellent choice. I was hooked to it from the beginning, especially with Bee's prose talking. it is also an emotional read, with great twists especially at the end. I totally recommend this book to those who like a good psychological thriller. All across the USA, people are showing up dead. The deaths don't appear to be connected in any way until one particular death occurs and gets the Secretary of Defense's attention. He arranges for a task force to investigate. And imagine acquiring a new language and only learning the words to describe a wonderful world, refusing to know the words for a bleak one and in doing so linguistically shaping the world that you inhabit.” Though her family and the police see a grieving sister in denial, unwilling to accept the facts, Bee uncovers the affair Tess was having with a married man and the pregnancy that resulted, and her difficulty with a stalker who may have crossed the line when Tess refused his advances. Tess was also participating in an experimental medical trial that might have gone very wrong. As a determined Bee gives her statement to the lead investigator, her story reveals a predator who got away with murder—and an obsession that may cost Bee her own life.

Sister is a psychological thriller from the viewpoint of Beatrice. Beatrice communicates to her missing sister Tess through a letter or diary-like entries. The plot is centered around her attempts to find out the truth about Tess's disappearance. Truly marvelous! As compelling as it is stylish, SISTER exists in that rare place where crime fiction and literature coincide.”— Jeffery Deaver A fast-paced, absurdly entertaining novel... . Along with a juicy mystery, it resounds with an authentic sense of sisterly love and loyalty. Their bond has been strong since they were young, no matter how different they were. She has always been close to Tess, but they grew apart after relocating to the States. The police and Tess’s family conclude the case as suicide and try moving on with their lives while accepting the self-questioning and revelations. According to the police report, Tess killed herself due to postpartum depression after giving birth to a still baby. However, she takes things into her own hands and embarks on a journey to find the truth, no matter the price she has to pay.Rosamund Lupton was a winner of Carlton Television's new writers' competition, and before being a novelist, she was a script-writer for television and film, writing original screenplays. For readers looking for a compelling novel that will have you hooked right from the start, Sisters is a perfect novel for you. The book draws the reader into the fundamental perspective of the bond between sisters.

Do you think Bee discovers anything new about her sister in a deep way- for example when she meets her landlord Amias and friends Kasia and Simon? How much of what Beatrice discovers is about herself? Beatrice’s journey as she unravels her sister’s events that led to Tess’s death will keep you hooked to your seat. Can she finally find the truth about what happened to her sister? The plot is well constructed, drawing the reader right into the center of the mystery. Rosamund Lupton has revealed Beatrice’s grief and loss so well that readers will find themselves empathizing with her.The story is told from Beatrice’s point of view as she looks at everyone in Tess’s life with suspicion. In her journey, she contrasts her approach to life with that of Tess.

I'm a sliver-thin light, diamond sharp, that can slip through gaps in the world we know. I will come into your dreams and speak soft words when you think of me. There is no happy ever after - but there is an afterwards. I found a lot to like in this psychological thriller about an ordinary person seeking justice for her murdered sister. Bee gets called to London from New York because her sister Tess has disappeared. Soon she is found dead, and the police judge it suicide in her despair over the birth of a stillborn baby. Yet Bee just knows that her free-spirited sister would not kill herself, and step by step she does her own form of investigation. Tess was an artist in London pursuing her studies at university at twenty-one, and her body was found in a horrible place. The pieces of the puzzle don’t add up for Beatrice, and with how Tess cherished her life, she would never commit suicide voluntarily. Grief is the ultimate unrequited love.' A different way to think of death, to be sure. Bee's upwardly mobile lifestyle is thrown to the winds as she digs into the circumstances of her younger sister's disappearance. Her grasp on sanity seems a bit fragile, and as the story unfolds, she steps into Tess' shoes a Debrett's Peerage and Baronetage. Debrett's Peerage Limited, 2011. 2011. ISBN 9781870520737 .
