The Other Sister by Jane Renshaw

Thank you @ZooBTloos and @JaneRenshaw for letting me be part of this tour. The Other Sister is a psychological thriller and is 352 pages long. The story is written in the past with Daisy's diary and in the present with Iris. The story is about Iris whose stepdad Sam dies unexpectedly and Daisy is Iris's mum, where you go back to her childhood, where dark secrets are uncovered. I found the story to be very interesting and intriguing. There were a lot of twists I did not see and the ending left me gobsmacked. There is great suspense running through the book. The other sister is dark and gripping. The start was a bit slow at first but after a few pages, I was engrossed I needed to find out what happened to Sam and who wanted to keep the secrets buried. This is the first book I have read by Jane Renshaw and I did like her style of writing, I will read more of her books in the future. If you like psycholocal genres you will enjoy this 5 stars.

Author Bio As a child, Jane spent a lot of time in elaborate Lego worlds populated by tiny plastic animals and people. Crime levels were high, especially after the Dragon brothers set themselves up as vets and started murdering the animals in their ‘care’. (They got away with it by propping the victims up with Plasticine and pretending they were still alive…) As an adult, she is still playing in imaginary worlds and putting her characters through hell – but now she can call it ‘writing’ and convince herself that she is doing something sensible. In real life, she has a PhD in genetics and copy-edits scientific and medical journals.
