This book was just "meh." I am as surprised as you are at this pronouncement. As a self-proclaimed "junky" of murder mysteries, I was fully anticipating being blown out of the water by this tourist found murdered as we follow her sister around New York decades later, but again just "meh."
Claire is the much younger sister of radiant Alison. Alison is the stunning and flirty tourist on winter vacation to the Caribbean with her wealthy family. But when Alison goes missing and is later found dead her murder remains a mystery, quickly becoming a cult following and sparking reddit theories and spin off shows.
As Claire reinvents herself from the "dead-girl's sister" and winds up back in New York, in the back of a cab driven by a former suspect in her sister's murder, her world quickly becomes swallowed up in Alison's pull once again.
This story is engrossing as the reader is offered snippets of Alison's life post death. We quickly see Alison's infection nature. It is Claire who provides the quirky weirdness that unfortunately drives this read. As the narrator, Claire commands the story and all of her obsession that entails.
