About this listen

What if everything she thought she knew was a lie?

Schoolteacher Rachel will do anything to protect her younger sister, Laura. So when their long-lost father shows up out of the blue and makes a shocking accusation against Laura's husband, Rachel is thrown into turmoil.

As undeniable evidence surfaces, Rachel discovers everything she thought she knew was wrong.
Has her sister's entire life been a lie? And how did her young niece get the bruises she is hiding? And who keeps calling her in the middle of the night?

As their father works his way into their lives, Rachel finds her ordered world slipping away. Already reeling from the breakup of her own marriage, she doesn't know who to trust – her father or her sister.

One of them is lying, hiding a terrible secret.

Can Rachel discover the truth before it is too late?

Dear Sister is a gripping psychological thriller with a mind-blowing twist that will leave readers turning pages long into the night. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, K.L Slater and Ruth Heald.

Didn’t enjoy

By chapter 12, I could not suffer another minute of Laura character. She is absolutely insufferable - the narration probably doesn’t help.
It wasn’t worth the effort to keep listening.

Fantastic, edge of seat

This book is so good 😊 you are not sure about anything right up until the exciting edge of your seat ending. I will definitely read all this author has to offer. And the narration was good too. Well done Ruth Harrow (the author).

Dear sister

I was a little worried with the start of this book that I wouldn’t like it but before long I was really enjoying it. The storyline was great! I saw a lot of things coming but the twists at the end made me want more

Good

Hard listening at first as the Laura character is annoying as hell.
But the twist ensured my listening as I couldnt imagine how it would end.

Good but not great

I liked the story it was interesting enough to finish and the characters were well formed but it was just a little lack lustre. Nothing too exciting

Good story

Story had twists and turns, narrator was a bit shouty. It turns out I didn’t like the Laura character for a good reason !

Took a bit of warming up, great finish

This one started a little slow for me, and I was on the fence about continuing on until around chapter 10.

Poorly written but hung on for the end

This book needed an editor. Author frequently repeated words in sentences and used the word ‘extrapolate’ instead of ‘extract’ - “I extrapolated my hand from my father’s”. Story was quite good
