desiree930 's review for:
The Silent Sister
by Diane Chamberlain
3.5 stars
I enjoyed this. For me, it was a case where I pretty much had everything figured out before it was revealed. But I thought the writing was generally strong with interesting, flawed characters.
I took off stars because while I did enjoy my reading experience, there were moments that I wasn’t able to suspend disbelief. The idea that Lisa/Amy/Jade could fake her own suicide and go into hiding just to turn around and become a touring musician just didn’t sit right with me. Also, we jump from her father telling her they can’t stay in contact to Riley finding a bunch of evidence that not only did they keep in contact, they actually spent time physically together. How on Earth was she not found before Riley?
I also felt like the ending was super rushed and in the course of that, there were several storylines that felt like they were dropped and forgotten. I would’ve liked a little more closure to those things.
That said, I do think this would be a good book for a reader looking for a family drama mixed with a little suspense.
