Her Sister's Secret rests on the strength of the bond of two sisters while perfectly capturing a dysfunctional family grieving; making the story very intimate. The author does a great job of capturing the accent for the area throughout the story, giving it more depth for readers who enjoy setting off on far away places when they read.

Molly can't let go of the fact that her picture perfect sister is gone. There are too many questions she needs answered and she quickly learns that her life, nor her sisters was at all what it seemed. While grieving she investigates deeper into her sister's life to find out the truth about what happened, all while trying to keep her family in tact. Family secrets, murder, and lies are intricately woven throughout, making Her Sister's Secret a gripping read. The author did an excellent job giving each of the main characters a solid story line. There are a few unexpected plot twists that keep readers turning the page to find out what happens next, and suspense throughout. This is a great read for any crime/suspense enthusiast!

An excellent book with a plot so dark and twisted I could not imagine it would ever become clear. Molly, not the favorite daughter, is suddenly faced with grieving parents when her sister dies in a car accident. To add to Molly's distress her last words to Scarlett were spoken in anger. Every character in this book is hiding something and has an agenda. Molly throws caution, and parental approval, to the wind when she tries to understand the accident and her late sister.

Some of the characters in this book are so twisted you will be nervous when Molly is around them. Her tenacity is impressive and dangerous yet she is never tempted to stop. Several ancillary characters play major roles and all are so well developed you can't imagine the story without them. A really great psychological thriller.

I’ll sum up Her Sister’s Secret by E.V. Seymour with one word: secrets. This is a thriller that will have you questioning every character and wondering who is hiding what, and why?

Synopsis:

When Molly Napier’s sister Scarlet is killed in a road accident the whole family is in shock. The police are certain she purposely caused the crash that killed another but what could have happened for sensible Scarlet to lose control at the wheel?

Determined to discover the truth, Molly begins to dig deeper into her sister’s life. With every question, she uncovers yet more secrets…all connected to her own family’s past. One of them has something to hide.

And then Molly meets Rocco, a stranger with dark secrets of his own. Nothing can prepare her for what comes next…

Perhaps the answers she is searching for are more dangerous than she ever imagined…



I really love nothing more than sitting down with a well-written story that holds my attention from beginning to end. What is better than a good book? This one is out now! Read it immediately, you will love it.

Following the death of her sister Scarlett, Molly Napier's family is torn apart. The ensuing turmoil compels Molly to dig into her sister’s life, but her family’s past too. When she meets Rocco, a stranger with dark secrets of his own, this thriller unravels with intrigue, family conflict, grief and of course, the inevitable twists!

This was a thrilling family drama involving long kept secrets, the price paid for keeping them and the pain of breaking them apart to get to the truth no matter the devastating costs, emotionally and physically. Molly, the daughter of a retired police officer, is devastated .when a random accident kills her sister a few days after an argument that leaves Molly feeling guilty., her sisters husband Nate feels guilty, for other reasons, their brother Zach is feeling guilty and partly to blame but their parents, who doted on the dead sister, surprisingly just accept the accident at face value - so why is Molly the only one who feels like it was a setup.? Now the stage is set, and as Molly uncovers each new turn and twist, she has to decide the toll the truth will bring as she delves deeper and deeper until reality threatens to destroy all she holds dear. Sex, drugs, police corruption ( I found this storyline a little difficult to follow), lies, affairs, deceit and deception come crashing down around Molly as she unravels the story that follows one fateful moment many years ago that haunts family and friends but one they must keep buried at all costs. Great read!

I raced through this book in a couple of days! I found the writing so easy to read, the storyline was compelling and each time I thought I had it sussed - I didn't!! It's a sad and messed up story about a family built on secrets and lies....and that can only end badly! Molly is the main character and she is like a dog with a bone in finding out the truth....I love it as I think I would be the same. She threatens to destroy her family with her digging and her quest for the thruth....but it doesn't stop her. Full of suspense and intrigue and a total rollercoaster ride, well worth picking up! I will be looking for more books from this author :)

Her Sister’s Secret by E.V. Seymour
4/5 Stars

**I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.** Pub Date July 5, 2019

Fast paced psychological, suspense thriller. Could not put this one down!

Molly is investigating the death of her sister, her family and life break down. Looking into the death comes at a cost... possibly Molly’s own family. Along with her friend Lenny and Aunt Dusty, Molly uncovers police corruption, blackmail and cover-ups. Longtime loyalty gave way to suspicion. When all was said and done, who stood on the right side of the law?

The storyline was quite intriguing and kept me interested the entire book with secrets and uncovering the truth.

Who should Molly trust? Who could she trust?

This was the first book I have read by this author, E.V Seymour, and I just loved it,

The book (The Family Secret) begins with the sudden death of Molly's sister, Scarlett from a car accident. The family of course, is crushed. Molly feels a sense of guilt, as they had had an argument not long before the crash. But Molly begins to think that her seemingly perfect sister was hiding something, after a comment from their brother, Nate, and begins to do a little digging around herself.

The book takes the reader through many twists and turns, and I could not put it down once I started reading it.

A great, engrossing book, and anyone that enjoys a thrilling read will surely enjoy it!!
Thanks so much @HarperCollins and @Netgalley

I found Her Sisters Secret enjoyable but I wasn’t fully able to put myself in Mollys world. I think the atmosphere was lacking a little but a good book for a lazy afternoon.

An excellent read, a new author to me but I thoroughly enjoyed this fast paced thriller. A dark read in my opinion, well developed characters with an ending I didn't guess.

I can thoroughly recommend this book and I will definitely read more from this author.

Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Impulse Killer Reads for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

This is a dark and brooding read, with family secrets at the heart of it all. Well written and a really good read.

Enter into a world of secrets. Secrets here, secrets there, secrets upon secrets everywhere. Some spend a lifetime keeping and protecting their collection of secrets. As they leave this world, those left behind have a choice of continuing with the secret keeping or unearthing the truth. Each choice comes with its own set of consequences.

This story was centered around a family who had three adult children. One of the children had become the favorite while the other two were never groomed to measure up. Dysfunction at its finest. The inequality amongst the siblings set them up for some rather interesting family dynamics.

As one of the Napier children meets an untimely death, the rest of the family finds themselves in tatters. As they try to adjust to their new normal, fractures develop. Even as they deeply grieve, the pulsating secrets remain and fester. Could it be possible that even the investigators were caught up in this rather large web of lies? Could they also be protecting some unsavory secrets?

As Molly doggedly labored to uncover the truth, she peeled away multiple layers of secrets and lies. Who could she trust? Who should she trust?

As the truth came out, foundations crumbled and nothing would ever be the same. Longtime loyalty gave way to suspicion. Respect was drowned out by intense fear. When all is said and done and the dust has settled, who will land on the right side of the law? I really enjoyed this thriller-mystery that took me along a path which was filled with countless twists and turns.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from HarperImpulse through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
