I enjoyed reading this book. Good story, well written, suspenseful, 'whodunnit'is a big question mark and at the same time it is a touching, grieving story for a sister lost. Great read.The story is told from the perspective of Beatrice, and is, in a way, written as one big letter to her missing sister. I struggled to get into this one. I was never in a hurry to get back to reading the story and I often found at times I was reluctant to read it. There was a fair bit of repetitiveness which really slowed the pace of the novel down and I felt that every little movement or life event was documented and probably didn't need to be. I think Rosamund Lupton did convey Beatrice's grief
Beautifully written. Heartbreakingly sad. Potently emotional. Brilliantly executed. Terrifyingly realistic. Happy ending? You decide.Undeniably one of the best novels out there. It is absolutely amazing that this is Rosamund Lupton's first novel. I was so riveted to the pages that I lost three hours of time before coming up for air. I'm looking forward to reading more novels by this undeniably talented writer! Highly recommended!
This was a book club choice for my mystery book club. I know this book has had good reviews, was chosen for some awards, but for me it was a struggle to read on. I think it had potential and certainly the mystery within the pages could have been more gripping, but it never enticed me in. I think it was because I did not care what happened to the characters; none of them were stellar, I was not able to attach myself to any of them. They all left me with no feeling toward them. Therefore, it was
This is a psychological thriller. It was not for me. I was not ever scared. I thought it felt totally fake, with NOT a smidgen of reality. Maybe I should avoid psychological thrillers in the future, but heck I did enjoy Thérèse Raquin.ETA: I also hated the complicated narrative voice which the book uses. Bess is writing a letter to her sister Tess, whom she believes has been murdered - relating how she figured out who her sister's murderer was. Suicide or death? That is one of the central
I'm no longer taking Amazon's recommendations for suspense novels. I was recently disappointed by A Discovery of Witches, and now Sister is getting a big push. Two more boring "thrillers" are hard to imagine. Sister follows snobby, racist Beatrice as she investigates the disappearance and possible murder of her free-spirited sister. Actually, Beatrice has already solved the crime, and is telling the story to a policeman in a series of sessions - which is as annoying a narrative structure as I
Dark, harrowing,sad, and taut suspense. Also, very emotional. At times really hard not to let it get you down because you feel so bad for Bee. But, you also know she is in danger, but can't decide from whom. I love the style of writing. Highly recommended! Can't believe this was a first novel for this writer.
