The Sister by Louise Jensen
4.0
The Sister is an enjoyable, interesting and (mostly) gripping read. I actually enjoyed the use of "Then" and "Now" chapters and I found it added a lot of tension and mystery to the story that definitely wouldn't have been there without it.
The characters were well written - albeit all slightly frustrating at times - and I loved Grace's development over the novel and I really was rooting for her.
*spoiler* The only thing that let me down was the lack of something really thrilling or exciting. Somehow I never really feared for anyone's life and my guess at the ending was pretty much spot on. The fact that Grace thought that Anna and Charlie looked alike as soon as she met gave it away instantly for me. *spoiler*
I said this the last time I read a psychological thriller and this book has confirmed my thoughts - I've read a few too many to be thrilled or surprised by anything lately. I know what to look for and it's dampening my enjoyment a little.
Aside from that, this book is a stellar example of a psychological thriller and a great introduction to the genre for any newbies out there.
