The Little Sister by Tracey Waples
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
*** Audiobook ***
This was my first experience of a Tracey Waples story; it won’t be my last. With more twists than a helter-skelter, this was a most entertaining story to listen to. Soooo good!
Helen, grieving her husband’s untimely death, agrees to a holiday with her little sister, Mia. And why not? A change of scenery might do her the power of good. Until she wakes up with a splitting headache and a fuzzy memory of the previous evening. Given that Helen doesn’t drink, the reason for her headache is somewhat strange, but more bizarre is the later insinuation that not only had she been drunk, she’d driven them home that night too. As if that wasn’t bad enough, an accident occurred during that drive home and Helen looks to be guilty.
Yet, she really can’t remember anything, certainly not drinking alcohol. Her sister, Mia, however, confirms Helen was driving that night, and even if she can’t explain the drinking, Helen has to accept that she was responsible.
But, there’s something about Mia’s story that doesn’t add up. And those loose threads start to unravel. What is Mia hiding?
With many unexpected twists that will keep you enthralled, this story challenges the norm in regards to sibling relationships and pushes boundaries that you can’t believe. Clearly, not all sisters are “such devoted sisters” and in this case, one sister is definitely “doing things” for herself.
Great narration, easy to follow, and a superb plot. I’ll look out for more from this author.
As always,
