The Good Sister by Wendy Corsi Staub
4.0
This book was compared to Lisa Jackson and to Mary Higgins Clark, but it reminded me more of old school Lisa Gardner. Another comparison would be to Gone Girl and The Burning Air, just in terms of the fact that a major theme is "Crazy people go to extreme lengths to get revenge for real or imagined slights."
And that is what makes this book chilling.
"Angel" is completely crazy and searching for vengeance and just will not be stopped. (Angel is kind of like the Terminator.)
This book took a bit to draw me in but once we reached chapter three and I met Carley, I was hooked. (We spend the first couple chapters with Angel and then with a brief diary entry, so it took a few pages for the plot to really get going.)
This book is probably not one to start late at night and chances are it will have you jumping at any random noise. Be aware of that going in. But it's also an incredibly tense and suspenseful book, one that's perfect to read curled up under a blanket, preferably by the light of one lamp. (Did that shadow move? I think it did...)
Recommended.
