About this deal

I put this book on my ‘mystery/thriller’ shelf based on its blurb, but there’s SO much more to it than that. Her flighty artistic kid sister who in her own condescending and slightly superior fashion she deeply loved.

This is an ambitious thing to attempt and, given the complexity of it, Lupton has done quite a good job, but unsurprisingly it falls flat at times. It’s not a style you see very often in novels and it took me several chapters to get used to it and finally get into the flow of it but once I did, there was no turning back. As a determined Bee gives her statement to the lead investigator, her story reveals a predator who got away with murder—and an obsession that may cost Bee her own life.Rafi’s girlfriend Hannah does everything she can to nurse Matthew while trapped with others in the library. While thinking his brother is in a safe place, Rafi risks going back to the library to make sure Hannah is safe too. The mounting evidence of ever more and ever worse skulduggery will pull Tempe deeper and deeper down what even she sees as a rabbit hole before she confronts a ringleader implicated in “Drugs. It has been translated in 30 languages, and it is a best-seller on the New York Times and Sunday Times lists. In the rural area of Somerset, in the middle of a blizzard, the most unthinkable thing happens, a school is under siege.

A week after the night she chases but fails to catch a mysterious trespasser outside her town house, some unknown party texts Tempe four images of a corpse that looks as if it’s been chewed by wild hogs, because it has been. The book is written in the style of many letters and Bea is writing to her sister, as well as reminiscences and self reflections. For another, the job she turns out to have been hired for—leading an investigation her new boss doesn’t feel he can entrust to his own force—makes her queasy. Sister follows snobby, racist Beatrice as she investigates the disappearance and possible murder of her free-spirited sister. Beautifully written with an unexpected twist at the end, this debut literary thriller was a bestseller in Britain and a Richard and Judy Book Club Pick.In this atmospheric tale, Lupton goes back and forth in time, illuminating the darkest and longest three hours where a school known as the most liberal and disciplined is torn apart by people whose hearts burn with hatred.

Everyone thinks she is mad (which quite frankly she probably is), but Bea knows her sister would never have killed herself voluntarily, even under incredible tragic circumstances. As spring slowly starts to reveal itself in the book, so do the mysterious facts as we inch inexorably towards the dramatic conclusion. For pages and pages you think you are in step with Beatrice in trying to probe the circumstances surrounding Tess's disappearance, learning new facts as she learns them; then, with just a few pages to go, you realise that possibly the most important element of the plot has been hidden from you all along - hinted at (you realise with hindsight), but never actually revealed. And that fiber is visible-two strands of DNA twisted in a double helix in every cell of my body-proving, visibly that we are sisters.On 1 May 1999 she married Martin Geoffrey Francis Lupton, son of Geoffrey Charles Martineau Lupton (1930-2019) who was the grandson of Leeds Lord Mayor Hugh Lupton. When her sister, Tess, is found dead, Bea is certain th As the vicar said 'in sure and certain hope of the resurrection of eternal life' you turned to me, 'I don't want sure and certain hope I want sure and certain Bee.
