The Missing Sister
Thriller
Publisher: Thomas & Mercer (April 1, 2020)
Paperback: 299 pages

In Paris, her twin sister has vanished, leaving behind three chilling words: Trust no one.

Shayna Darby is finally coming to terms with her parents’ deaths when she’s delivered another blow. The body of her estranged twin sister, Angela—the possible victim of a serial killer—has been pulled from the Seine. Putting what’s left of her life on hold, Shayna heads to Paris. But while cleaning out Angela’s apartment, Shayna makes a startling discovery: a coded message meant for her alone…

Alive. Trust no one.

Taking the warning to heart, Shayna maintains the lie. She makes a positive ID on the remains and works to find out where—and why—her missing sister is hiding. Shayna retraces her sister’s footsteps, and they lead her down into Paris’s underbelly.

As she gets closer to the truth—and to the killer—Shayna’s own life may now be in the balance…

My review of The Missing Sister

The Missing Sister is such an exciting thriller! I was drawn in right from the start. Imagine. Your twin has been pulled from the Seine in Paris, and as her only living relative, you’ve got to go positively identify her body. So, you head to Paris, thinking you’ll be there two days to collect the body and clear out the apartment. What you don’t expect is a secret message on your sister’s whiteboard…one only you can read because it’s written in your special “twin language.”

Who can you trust? No one. Does no one include the police? You assume it does, but you’ve got to go with the inspector to identify the body. You’re warned that the body was submerged for quite some time, and it may be hard to identify her. You pull the sheet back and look for her birthmark…

It’s her. That’s what you tell the ME and the inspector, but you know it isn’t her. And they know it isn’t her! But since you insist it is, they’ve got to go by what you’ve said. You begin to search for more clues and slowly begin to find them. Angela’s boyfriend wants to help you follow her last steps. You begin to trust him, but then something seems off. The guide you’ve been assigned from the embassy begins to worry about you, so he begins to help you. Every lead you follow seems to lead to more mystery. Where is your missing sister? You quit trusting your guide because of clues you find. Now you’re even more wary about who you can trust, and it looks like you’ll be on your own.

You’re frantic, feverish, not sleeping. Finding Angela is your only priority, so you begin to neglect your own safety.

If you are a fan of thrillers, you have got to read The Missing Sister! I love how well written the characters are and not knowing who to trust! I felt so immersed in the story that it was as if I were Shayna, and I was losing my mind! You may even start wonder if you can even trust Shayna! Is she a reliable character or is she imagining things?

Add The Missing Sister to your TBR piles! You will love the crazy ride!
