So - Bad Sisters. I'm a huge lover of audiobooks, so I nabbed this one and it's been my companion through chores for the last couple of weeks. By the time I was in the last third, I was doing as much laundry as I could, taking the dog for extra-long walks, and finding any reason at all to keep listening while I went about my day. It's engrossing. It's glitzy and sexy and full of family drama and dark secrets and murder. It's exactly as advertised, and I was completely engrossed. Bad Sisters is less about the mystery than its cutting, empathetic take on all the relationships that tangled into such an overwhelming knot along the way.

BAD SISTER | Kirkus Reviews

Bad Sister is a completely enthralling psychological thriller, with everything in it that makes a book wonderful. Carrington has nailed it with this one, AGAIN! Words can hardly say how much I enjoyed this book, it is one of the best that I have recently read. My whole Saturday afternoon was taken from me as I could not put this down. The book is full of suspence, the author slowly providing small pieces of information to the reader who is, if like me, asking all these questions as to what has happened and where is the story taking me. Despite my usual love for Rebecca Chance's work, I did not like this book. I just couldn't get into it. Normally, I am hooked from the very first word of Chance's books but this I struggled to get into. But having known and love her work, I thought I'll get into it but that never happened. Years later, the sisters are barely hanging on to the scraps of their relationship. As another family celebration looms, long-held secrets come rushing to the surface. But someone is determined that the past will stay dead and buried, and will stop at nothing to prevent their mistakes being uncovered.Just as perfectly portrayed is the other sisters’ appreciation of what is happening and their powerlessness to do anything about it. Until they have a whiskey-soaked chat on the beach, after their traditional Christmas family swim (which John Paul has finally succeeded in keeping Grace from attending). They share their secret fantasies about how to get rid of him, before they burgeon into workable theory and then practice. The second episode (two have been released initially by Apple – the rest will follow weekly) covers the first, failed execution of the tyrant in the sisters’ midst. Various other attempts go awry too but we must assume, from the corpse and the sisters’ shifty behaviour since, that one of them worked in the end.

It is an interesting memoir, but other than the tooth incident, and the resulting guilt, it just appears to be a series of fights and activities she did with her brother. The face blindness is brought up once, but never brought up again. The ability to read people is also brought up, but never explored. I was a little confused by this book at first. I had expected to reading Stephanie's story but was surprised to learn that most of the story is told around Connie. Not that this was a bad thing, just unexpected.Yet, once we know how things are playing out, all of a sudden this character comes out of the woodwork and almost single-handedly takes over the story. They become the center from which everything else revolves. It's too bad that the author didn't find a middle ground for this character as it would have balanced out the story. Each chapter follows one of the characters, the ruthless Maxi, TV cookery hit Devon and the Hollywood princess Deeley. Devon’s sections were…fine for the most part, and then she started to straight-up abuse Matt, not psychically no, but the constant bombardment of emotional manipulation really was awful to read. Saying that something is wrong with Matt for wanting to be with her, the constant insistence that

The Bad Sister: A tense and emotional psychological thriller

There are so many secrets that are slowly revealed with this book that at times it is hard to keep up with who knows what. Everything is wrapped up nicely by the end of the book which is good because I was already invested in the sisters and their stories. Flipping between multiple narratives and between past and present really adds to the story! This book was fast paced after the first few chapters and kept my attention. The sisters are characters that are easy to connect to and the plot- whew, hold your breath because it will be a bumpy, sometimes dark ride to get to the ending! BAD SISTER is a well-written psychological thriller. The author has done a terrific job in baiting the reader with a snippet of 'then' and a story of now. What connects these two women? The ending is chilling. Two bestselling authors imagine the boyhood of the man who became the legendary boxing icon Muhammad Ali.He" is her brother .. diagnosed as a pyromaniac at a very young age. "He" is the one who started the fire that killed his father. Or is he?
