Description

The chilling psychological thriller from a top ten bestselling author.
Im the sister who got away.
The lucky one. Until now.

It is ten years since Ella's sister Miranda disappeared without trace, leaving her young baby behind. Chilling new evidence links Miranda to the horrifying Jason Thorne, now in prison for murdering several women. Is it possible that Miranda knew him

At thirty, Mirandas age when she vanished, Ella looks uncannily like the sister she idolized. What holds Ella together is her love for her sisters child and her work as a self-defence expert helping victims.

Haunted by the possibility that Thorne took Miranda, and driven by her nephews longing to know about his mother, Ella will do whatever it takes to uncover the truth no matter how dangerous

Reviews

Emotional and sensitive, populated with wonderfully real characters, but also underscored by menace which races towards a heart-in-the-mouth denouement. Gillian McAllister, author of EVERYTHING BUT THE TRUTH

THE SECOND SISTER is both a twisty thriller and a sensitively written story of a family stricken by loss and the fear of not knowing the worst. The strife between the remaining sister and her mother especially is depicted with heart-rending warmth and insight. Isabelle Grey, author of THE BAD MOTHER
