"THE GOOD SISTER"--by Sally Hepworth--utterly compelling, unpredictable, and addictive, "The Good Sister" is about the ties that bind…and the darkness that lives where you least expect it

 

The Good Sister

The author of The Mother-in-Law delivers a new novel of breathtaking suspense about the secrets and lies that bond two sisters.

Meet Rose
The responsible sisters with a home, a husband, and a fierce desire to become a mother.

Meet Fern
The introverted librarian who avoids social interaction as much as possible.

They are as close as two sisters can be. But they couldn’t be more different.

What are they hiding from each other?

From the outside, everyone might think Fern and Rose are as close as twin sisters can be: Rose is the responsible one, with a home and a husband and a fierce desire to become a mother. Fern is the quirky one, the free spirit, the librarian who avoids social interaction and whom the world might just describe as truly odd. But the sisters are devoted to one another and Rose has always been Fern's protector from the time they were small.

Fern needed protecting because their mother was a true sociopath who hid her true nature from the world, and only Rose could see it. Fern always saw the good in everyone. Years ago, Fern did something very, very bad. And Rose has never told a soul. When Fern decides to help her sister achieve her heart's desire of having a baby, Rose realizes with growing horror that Fern might make choices that can only have a terrible outcome. What Rose doesn't realize is that Fern is growing more and more aware of the secrets Rose, herself, is keeping. And that their mother might have the last word after all.
