Publisher's summary

The USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestseller!

Lily’s gone.
Someone took her.
Unless she was she never there…

A little girl has gone missing.

Lily was last seen being tucked into bed by her adoring mother, Nova. But the next morning, the bed is empty except for a creepy toy rabbit.

Has Nova’s abusive ex stolen his “little bunny” back for good?

At first, Officer Ellie James assumes this is a clear custody battle. Until she discovers that there are no pictures of the girl and her drawers are full of unused toys and brand new clothes that have never been worn…

Is Ellie searching for a missing child who doesn’t actually exist?

Critic reviews

“Reminiscent of Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects, MY SISTER IS MISSING is a beautifully haunting story that dives beneath the surface and tackles tough issues, all while weaving together a compelling tale of the disappearance of a loved one and returning home to face one’s demons." Christina Kaye, award-winning author of PRESUMED DEAD

‘A craftsman of the novel world. This book is a fine example of why reading is the perfect form of escapism. Edge of your seat thriller action’ 5* Karen Whittard, Netgalley

Keeps you guessing

Even when you know what happened, there are twists and turns to get you going in a different direction. Well done. I recommend reading/listening to it.

Twists and Turns

The trick for me with mysteries is that they possess enough twists and turns to make things interesting and unpredictable yet not so many that they seem contrived and hard to keep up with. Also the pace at which important pieces to the puzzle are unfolded. I hate books that I have the answer to after the first few chapters as well as the ones that wait until the last chapter to dump everything. Masterful writing in my opinion AND great narration!

Honestly a little boring

I'm not sure what to say about this book. It wasn't terrible, but nothing really jumped out. Some of it was very unbelievable and the plot twist wasn't a shock at all. Narrator was great. This is a quick, easy listen that did keep my attention enough to keep listening, but would not read again. The entire book had a drab feeling with no light hearted moments.

Full of Twists and Turns

Wow!

Once again I’m left breathless by one of Carissa Ann Lynch’s books. Every time I thought I could guess what was going to come next, the plot would sneak up and smack me with a curveball. I absolutely love how the author was able to keep me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book.

When the book begins, Nova is glad to have finally escaped from her abusive husband with her daughter, Lily. In the morning though, Lily is gone, and she has no choice but to go to the police. From there, secrets of Nova’s life begin to unravel. And with it comes questions. The most haunting of those, is Lily even real?

All the characters in this book are beautifully fleshed out, each of them with a solid understandable background, flaws, and strengths. It made the ending all the more satisfying. Every character has secrets and they’ll all come to light.

Narration was beautiful, bringing each character to life in a unique way.

Definitely a recommended read for lovers of psychological suspense.
