Blood Sisters by Cate Quinn

4.0

After reading Black Widows last years and really enjoying it, I was keen to read more from author, Cate Quinn. Blood Sisters is a slow burn and heavy on character development that I struggled to put down. The setting of a small country, mining town in rural WA was really well written and set the scene for this multi layered murder mystery.

American backpackers and sorority sisters, Beth and Lauren, are sent to Dead Tree Creek by their agency to work in the local pub. It is a mining town, and the arrival of 2, young new girls is a big deal for the men. A few weeks later, the girls have skipped town and a miner is found dead in the pub, brutally murdered. The fingers are immediately pointed at the girls, but rookie cop Tara Harrison thinks there is more to this crime than meets the eye.

The story is told from the points of view of alot of characters, and we see what the locals think of Beth and Lauren. As always, with small towns, everyone know everyone's business, and the outsiders are not to be trusted.

There is so much more to this story but that is all you need to know to get sucked into the drama. Thanks to Hachette Australia for my copy of this book to read. Blood Sisters is out now in Australia.
