The Damage Done by Hilary Davidson

4.0

Lily is a travel writer who escaped to Spain leaving behind her sister, Claudia, an on again/off again (mostly on) drug addict, as well as a hovering, grasping fiance, Martin. She has been paying the rent on her New York apartment so that her sister wouldn't have to live on the streets. Claudia is the only relative she has. Both of their parents committed suicide. By the time Lily was in college and Claudia still in high school, both of their parents were gone. After a very long absence she returns when she is informed by the police that her sister is dead. However when she finally gets to see the body, she is shocked and appalled because the body is not Claudia. This is an interesting book with a lot of twists and turns. I wasn't sure how it was going to come together. The author doesn't disappoint. The solution isn't obvious. This is a book that could be turned into a really good film if someone was willing to do it right. The author has been an author of travel books as well as short crime fiction stories that were very well received. This is her first crime fiction novel. Hopefully, she'll write many more.
