Beatrice flies home to London from New York after her younger sister Tess goes missing. Their relationship was close but difficult, and Beatrice feels guilty. The police assume that Tess, who was pregnant, killed herself, but Beatrice does not believe it, and begins her own investigation, speaking to those who knew Tess, including her lover and her friends. The story is told by Beatrice as a letter to her sister, and builds toward a twist about what happened.
A good choice for readers who like psychological thrillers with an emotional core, especially stories about sisters. It suits those who enjoy puzzles with a human focus and a sharp ending.
Practical and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
