The Half Sister is a thriller set in London.

Two estranged sisters are doing their weekly lunch with their widowed mother when a young woman shows up at their door claiming to be their sister.

Lauren is a mother of three with a controlling husband. Kate is a reporter who has is undergoing IVF to start a family with her husband.

When their sister shows up, while she looks like them, they have a hard time believing it. The theme of infidelity comes up repeatedly throughout the book, whether characters suspect their spouse or are contemplating their own extramarital affairs.

The novel also comes back to the question of whether you can ever really know those you love. There is no answer. But the final shocking twist at the end of THS is pretty great.
