If you’ve nothing planned for the weekend, this one’s a light, quick read which will keep you guessing. Sisters by Michelle Frances (The Girlfriend, The Daughter) Michelle Frances takes sibling rivalry and family secrets to a whole new level. It starts of slow, and a little predictable, but the story soon hots up … with sisters Abby and Ellie doing a Thelma and Lousie through Italy, France and Spain, the police – as well as a baffled husband and an is-she-or-isn’t-she-evil mother – close behind.

Staying with sisters – Kate and Lauren have a great relationship … always there for one another. But when Jess arrives, claiming to be their half-sister, the fall-outs start. Is she the secret daughter of their father, who recently died? For the girls, their mother Rose, and newcomer Jess, life becomes a tangle of secrets, lies and questions. Is the family really as perfect as it appears? Sandie Jones (The Other Woman) is great at psychological suspense, and there’s no shortage of that in The Half Sister.
