The Good Sister

Jess Ryder

A whopping 5 stars from me … had me up to the early hours of the morning. So transfixed was I to this story that I heard the birds tweeting outside. The ending had me gasping in awe. Truly a masterpiece.’ Sue and her Books

Two sisters. One secret… A lie that could destroy them both.

When her father dies, Josie is devastated to uncover he led a secret life: another house, another family and a half-sister called Valentina.

Both with red hair and icy blue eyes, Josie and Valentina could be mistaken for twins. But the similarities end there…

Josie – Sweet, reserved, jealous, thief.
Valentina – Care-free, confident, dangerous, liar.

They share secrets. They tell lies. And for one sister, dark memories begin to surface… Should the other be scared for her life?

A nail-bitingly tense and unputdownable read that will keep you turning pages into the night. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train and Sister Sister.

Whoa boy! This novel is a deeply scary and chilling psychological thriller that made my nerves buzz with tension.’ Summer in December, 5 stars

‘This was a truly outstanding story, very cleverly done, I was gripped from start to finish and I literally couldn’t turn the pages fast enough for wanting to see what was going to happen next. There were so many twists and turns within the story that I think I spent majority of the book sitting on the edge of my seat in anticipation… I truly can’t recommend it enough.’ Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars

Yeah, that…The Good Sister is so incredibly dark and twisty! I found this psychological thriller to be utterly gripping and engrossing. A true and exciting page-turner!’ Novel Deelights, 4 stars

I COULD NOT put it down! Ryder does not simply take something that’s been done before and redo it – she blows the theme out of the water… I’m still in shock and awe, shaking my head in disbelief as I write this because I can’t believe the twists she throws at you.’ Artistic Bent, 5 stars
