The Vanishing of Audrey Wilde by Eve Chase

4.0

The Wilding Sisters is set in the English countryside at a residence called Applecote Manor. The story alternates between 1959 and the present focusing on the residents of Applecote Manor. In 1959, four nieces of the Applecote Manor's owners, the Wildes, come to stay for the summer due to their mother's new job abroad. There visit is tainted by the disappearance of their cousin Audrey that happened 5 years ago. In the present, Jessie and Will have decided to purchase Applecote Manor to escape the city life of London. Jessie is adjusting to life as the "second wife" of Will that includes her stepdaughter, Bella, and her own daughter with Will.

I really enjoyed that the book went back and forth between the time periods and discovering the connections between them. The four Wilding Sisters are young, hopeful, and struggling with going from children to young women. Bella is a teenager who is struggling with the grief of her mother's death and dealing with her feelings concerning Jessie, her half-sister, and her new relationship with her father, Will.

The book was well written and kept me guessing till the end. I think this would be an excellent book for people of all ages.

Thank you for Netgalley, the publisher, and Eve Chase for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
