Confusing to read, unlikeable self-pitying narrator, unrealistic and disappointing “cop-out” ending. I feel let down. Strike this author as off my list. ( ) I just couldn't get into this book. I found the prose slow and overwritten, and the narrator's constant self-pity really grated on my nerves. I also didn't like the style in which the book was written - the letters to the narrator's sister were dull and only served to distance me from the character and the action. I struggled through and finished it, but I was even more disappointed with the ending. Here's what I wrote in 2012 about this read: "Easy and suspenseful read. Written in the UK and quickly traveled to the U.S. Illumuniates the ties of sisters, and creates a story from the unwillingness of one to believe the other would commit suicide, despite tragedy in her life. A fun twist on who-done-it and the author makes the reader suspect EVERYONE she (MGA) meets." Cuando Beatrice recibe una llamada de su madre que le dice que su hermana pequeña ha desaparecido, regresa inmediatamente a Londres. Pero conforme averigua las circunstancias de la desaparición de Tess, descubre lo poco que en realidad sabía de la vida de su hermana. La policía, el novio de Beatrice e incluso su madre aceptan que han perdido a Tess, pero Beatrice se niega a abandonarla y se embarca en una peligrosa búsqueda de la verdad a toda costa. Nada la ha preparado para los aterradores hechos que va a descubrir.
[An] unusual and searing debut... Lupton's crisp insights into grief and familial guilt are married to a confidently executed plot. Free from the genre's more mawkish excesses, Lupton's persuasive narrative voice is what keeps this classy debut on track. Like Kate Atkinson, Patricia Highsmith and Ruth Rendell, Lupton builds suspense not only around the causes and details of her story’s brutal denouement, but also around the personalities and motivations of those who lunge and those who duck..... Both tear-jerking and spine-tingling, “Sister” provides an adrenaline rush that could cause a chill on the sunniest afternoon — which, perhaps, the friendly company of a sister or two (or, in a pinch, a brother) might help to dispel.
