Product Information

She is told that she will be checked out by a paramedic, but DCI Jacobs thinks Jessica had a nose bleed.

He is still wondering if he made the right choice, although he is giving his all to both his relationship with the child and that child’s mother. Having just finished Michael Robotham’s The Secrets She Keeps, I confess to being a little burnt out on abducted baby thriller plots, but this one served well to keep the level of tension in the family wound very tight. Little Sister may appeal to readers who enjoy character-driven novels; it’s a tale of sisterhood gone wrong, how secrets and lies can damage a family, with several nice twists along the way.Jonah hates playing her little game – but he also knows she will shut down if he doesn’t, and that will end any chance he has of finding whoever the blood belongs to.

The narrative is delivered with flashbacks from the past that go on to reveal what caused the schism between the sisters.Griefstricken sisters, Jessica and Emily meet again at their mother's funeral after sixteen years of estrangement between them. The sisters have a complicated history that is slowly revealed and eventually you find out some dark secrets that added depth and intrigue. I love a dysfunctional family drama and here we meet one gradually submerging in the secrets and lies that threaten to overwhelm them. An enchanting collection of stories about the most famous little sister in the world, with the beautiful and iconic illustrations by Shirley Hughes. My head feels submerged, as though I’m looking up through water, yet at the same time there’s a feeling of clarity that frightens me.

She nurses her quiet drab life, keeping memories of a tumultuous earlier time at bay, until one stray remnant of that old life knocks on her front door.

In a sense this feels quite a conventional story; two sisters who have history, a missing child, police enquiries, liaison officers and the like. But, I felt like the disappearance of Daisy was a buffer to the actual story of the two sisters Jess and Emily. My Naughty Little Sister has charmed generations of adults and children alike thanks to Dorothy Edwards' playful stories and Shirley Hughes' beautiful illustrations.

There’s someone with her; their head is tilted in concern, their hand resting on her shoulder, and even through the vapour of my dazed mind I can see that she is crying, from the way her chest rises and falls with each shuddering breath. I didn’t enjoy this one :( It was pretty much revealed who took Daisy at around half way through the book, and after that it just dragged. When I heard you gasp in the dimness, I was sorry again, so sorry, and I reached out to put my hand on your shoulder, to soothe you and let you know I was there. The Little Sister is a 1949 novel by Raymond Chandler, his fifth featuring the private investigator Philip Marlowe.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. New information about this family’s relationship is constantly emerging and I found the pace a bit too slow in places, and this was likely a result of the suspense.
