About this listen

She thought she'd buried her past. But what if it's been hunting her this whole time?

From the best-selling and award-winning author of The Marsh King's Daughter comes a startling novel of psychological suspense as two generations of sisters try to unravel their tangled relationships between nature and nurture, guilt and betrayal, love and evil.

You have been cut off from society for 15 years, shut away in a mental hospital in self-imposed exile as punishment for the terrible thing you did when you were a child.

But what if nothing about your past is as it seems?

And if you didn't accidentally shoot and kill your mother, then whoever did is still out there. Waiting for you.

For a decade and a half, Rachel Cunningham has chosen to lock herself away in a psychiatric facility, tortured by gaps in her memory and the certainty that she is responsible for her parents' deaths. But when she learns new details about their murders, Rachel returns, in a quest for answers, to the place where she once felt safest: her family's sprawling log cabin in the remote forests of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

As Rachel begins to uncover what really happened on the day her parents were murdered, she learns - as her mother did years earlier - that home can be a place of unspeakable evil and that the bond she shares with her sister might be the most poisonous of all.

Critic reviews

One of Publishers Weekly's Best Suspense Books of 2020

"A gut-clenching wilderness thriller." (Minneapolis Star Tribune)

"[A] neo-gothic psychological thriller that’s a true mind-bender...The Wicked Sister brings to mind those classic Bette Davis quasi-horror flicks Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? and Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte. Dionne has fashioned a superb character study of murder and madness that reads like Alfred Hitchcock at his best in book form." (Providence Journal)

"Dionne paints a haunting portrait of a family hurtling toward the tragic destiny they can foresee but are powerless to stop." (Publishers Weekly)

Captivating story but too much detail. Good little twist at the end which was a little predictable but still was a good addition. It was a decent free read for a 2:1…
