The Stolen Sisters
by Louise Jensen
The Stolen Sisters by Louise Jensen
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was sent an eArc of this via Netgalley for an honest review.
The Sinclair sisters were victims of a kidnapping twenty years before, as the anniversary looms the sisters lives start to fracture and there are things about that time they have not yet faced.
I loved this thriller, it ticked the boxes I needed - constantly kept me guessing, didn’t fall into the expected outcomes and a fantastic bunch of characters.
Stories about sisters are always quite fascinating to me, there is something about that connection. Probably because I am a sister and you can’t help put yourself in their roles.
The clever way Jensen uses time and point of view, builds the drama and slowly reveals the truth. I was a big fan of this.
There are darker topics explored too, the physiological and psychological effects of trauma, how different people respond to the same event. Leah has a large number of conditions due to the trauma of the kidnapping and though I can’t say from any experience I feel that this was explored in depth and handled with knowledge. Carly as the older sister has enormous guilt and identity issues and Marie is an addict.
I will definitely be on the look for more of Jensen’s work as I might be on to a new favourite thriller writer.
If you are looking for a fast paced, character driven thriller then I would highly recommend this.
