a little disappointing after her first two knockouts
In the age of 23 & Me and Ancestry DNA, there seem to be a handful of books popping up about long lost siblings appearing and ruining someone’s formerly content life. I like the concept, but foresee it quickly becoming overdone. I’ve loved Sandie Jones’s previous two books, but this one unfortunately was my least favorite so far.
This one was more of a family drama, with a couple of unsurprising twists. Just because there’s murder doesn’t make this book a thriller--there was no creepy aspect to it and no suspense. Murder mystery, maybe, but even the murderer was unsurprising.
The characters were well done, though. I liked Lauren and Kate, Kate especially.
The Half Sister wasn’t bad at all, but I had high standards for Sandie Jones after her first two books. It was enjoyable enough, just not nearly as much as her previous novels. It was a light, quick, and enjoyable mystery.
