The Night Sister by Jennifer McMahon
4.0

A suspenseful novel that features a young girl in the 1950s who lives in a spooky motel and writes letters to her favorite film director, Alfred Hitchcock. She and her younger sister have a fierce sibling rivalry.

In 1989, a group of kids try to figure out the mystery of the disappearance of one of those sisters.

Then in 2013, those kids, now adults, must cope with a death in their ranks.

The suspense is heightened by shifting between time periods, teasing revelations, and shifting POV.

A creepy tale to finish out your summer.
