Book Description

"Psychological suspense doesn't come much grittier or more packed with satisfying twists and turns." -Meg Gardiner, Edgar Award-winning author, on Girl Last Seen

We're not just siblings; we're twins. We're supposed to be able to read each other's thoughts. Although Eli is a few minutes younger, he always seemed older, always one step ahead.

It turns out that Eli kept many secrets. And he told many lies. So although he was once seen as the golden child-while I stood by as the silent sister-his web of deception led to a guilty verdict for the arson that killed our parents.

Now his thirteen-year sentence has been served, and Eli is free. But we are still bound by a secret. Which is dangerous because he has nothing left to lose, and I have everything.

My Review

What My Sister Knew is the first book of Nina Laurin's that I have read. What a great ride! I'll be reading more of Laurin's books now.

Andrea's brother Eli is released from prison after serving a 12 year sentence. A juvenile charge for murdering their mother and their stepfather in a house fire that he set. Andrea has not seen him since the fire that left her body covered in burns. She has been living a quiet life as a social worker.

This story is filled with twists. Nothing is as it seems. I was kept on the edge of my seat reading this book! What a great thriller!

Highly recommend What My Sister Knew.
