The Silent Sister by Diane Chamberlain is a solid read. From the first page, I wanted more. Every chapter is well written and keeps the wheels of interest turning steadily as the mystery unfolds. The main character, Riley MacPherson, has just lost her father and is tasked with managing his estate and reconnecting with her troubled brother; the last member of her family still alive. Riley discovers shocking secrets about her family as she deals with overwhelming loneliness and loss. Each discovery she makes sinks her deeper into an obsession to get to the bottom of her sister’s mysterious suicide twenty years earlier, when Riley was only two years old; the suicide that her brother, Danny, blames for ruining their family. Danny harbors hate for his dead sister while Riley longs to know who she was. I doubt you’ll be able to put this book down—recommended.
