The Sister by Louise Jensen
2.0
I generally really enjoy Louise Jensen, but her debut novel was rather a dud for me.
Grace’s best friend Charlie dies, her last words being, “I did something terrible, Grace. I hope you can forgive me.” Grace goes on a quest to find out what Charlie’s secret is. In her search she encounters Anna, a woman who claims to be Charlie’s half-sister, and soon thereafter Grace’s life starts falling apart.
I enjoyed the characters and the writing style, and the action moved along quickly. My problem was that I knew the ending before I was even halfway through. Everything was so obvious. Louise Jensen certainly improved in this respect in her subsequent novels. I’ll continue reading this author as she’s one of my recently discovered favorites, but if you’re perusing her works, I’d suggest giving this one a pass.
