In this spellbinding and suspenseful debut, a young woman haunted by the past returns home to care for her ailing mother and begins to dig deeper into her sister’s unsolved murder.
Sixteen years ago, Sylvie’s sister, Persephone, never came home. Out too late with the boyfriend she was forbidden to see, Persephone was missing for three days before her body was found - and years later, her murder remains unsolved.
In the present day, Sylvie returns home to care for her estranged mother, Annie, as she undergoes treatment for cancer. Prone to unexplained “Dark Days” even before Persephone’s death, Annie’s once-close bond with Sylvie dissolved in the weeks after their loss, making for an uncomfortable reunion all these years later. Worse, Persephone’s former boyfriend, Ben, is now a nurse at the cancer center where Annie is being treated. Sylvie’s always believed Ben was responsible for the murder - but she carries her own guilt about that night, guilt that traps her in the past while the world goes on around her.
As she navigates the complicated relationship with her mother, Sylvie begins to uncover the secrets that fill their house - and what really happened the night Persephone died. As it turns out, the truth will set you free, once you can bear to look at it.
The Winter Sister is a mesmerizing portrayal of the complex bond between sisters, between mothers and daughters alike, and forces us to ask ourselves - how well do we know the people we love most?

Critic reviews
“Sharp and mysterious, The Winter Sister explores the complex bonds between families, the secrets that tie people together - and those that break them apart. A haunting debut: suspenseful, atmospheric, and completely riveting.” (Megan Miranda, New York Times best-selling author of All the Missing Girls and The Perfect Stranger)
"Atmospheric and heart-rending, The Winter Sister brilliantly weaves together a gripping, suspenseful plot with a compelling character study of a grieving family. From the mysterious mother with a hidden past, to the guilt-ridden sister who now must solve her sister’s murder years ago, these characters will stay with you long after you’ve turned the final page. Wonderful!" (Wendy Walker, best-selling author of All Is Not Forgotten and Emma in the Night)

Sylvie's life got turned upside down when her older sister went missing and then 3 days later her body was found- and her murder was never solved. Sylvie's, who was just 14 at the time, life crumbled before her. Her sister murdered and mother unraveled into darkness before her eyes. Sylvie's pain and anguish was heartbreaking, the closure she never received and the secrets and aspects of her sister's case have haunted her ever since.
