Synopsis

Two sisters who couldn't be more different come together to plan a shocking revenge in this "addicting" (Hello Giggles) domestic thriller.

Two sisters. One murder plan.
Everyone thought reckless, troubled Geraldine Monroe was the bad sister -- especially when she fled town after her mother's death twenty-five years ago.
But people don't know the truth.
Marie Monroe knows. She was there for their father's cruel punishments, the constant manipulation, the lies. Everyone thinks she's the perfect daughter -- patient and kind, and above all obedient. No one would suspect her of anything. Especially not murder.
Now Geraldine's home again, and she and Marie have united in a plan for the ultimate revenge. But when old secrets and new fears clash, everyone is pushed to the breaking point . . . and the sisters will learn that they can't trust anyone-not even each other.
"The story of Geraldine's return to her roots is vividly told... [for] readers looking for something to follow Jeanette Walls' nonfiction The Glass Castle." -- Booklist
"An excellent psychological thriller that's filled with dark family secrets and plenty of intrigue." -- New York Journal of Books

Goodreads review by Holly on July 31, 2018

Two sisters, a mysterious death and a murder plan.  Sounds pretty sinister, right?   This was a very dark, ominous story and the dysfunction of this family was off the charts(And I do mean the whole entire family). Martin Monroe is the very controlling father who didn't seem to have many redeeming qu......more

The Other Sister by Sarah Zettel is a thriller that is told by switching the point of view between the characters and also going back into the past. It’s one that has all of that family drama and secrets that need uncovering from years before to find what is going on in the present. Geraldine is some......more

About how their father poisoned their life, not to mention their mother's life. We also learn that not everything is what it seems that the characters in this book......more
