Wow! This author is someone who consistently delivers and is one of my favourite psychological thriller writers of today! With a fast paced, heart pulsing plot with a twist in almost every page, this book is, I think, her best so far and that's saying something as all her books have been five star reads for me! This is an author to watch and a book everyone should read. Fabulous and very highly recommended!
The Silent Sister by Shalini Boland is a psychological thriller about a woman who finds herself with a stalker and doesn't know who to trust. Having read several of Shalini Boland's books already I knew I would be in for a good read before going into this one.Lizzy lives in a cottage with her boyfriend and one day she finds a letter in her home that she's unsure of where it came from. No one else should have access to their place and before long Lizzy finds more disturbing notes.Not knowing who
4.5 starsThis was my fifth book by Shalini Boland, and I will be happy to read whatever she writes next as well. The Silent Sister has the clever, twisty plot of her other books and the characters I can connect to, without making it feel that she is following a simple, tried and true mold, I find some other writers of this genre sometimes slip into (not necessary a bad thing, if it's not broke . . . ) This book introduces Lizzie, a twenty-something woman who lives with her boyfriend, Joe, in a s...
This book started out really well, it had all the hallmarks of a good psychological thriller, building suspense and making you race through the pages. Then the final chapters seem rushed and were a total let down. When I finished it my reaction was really? That's it? That's the big secret? After such a good buildup the end was disappointing. I see that other people have really rated this book, but it just didn't work for me.
3.5 stars rounded up! Excerpt: Intrigued, I tug it out with my fingers, dislodging a cloud of dust. The paper is thick and brittle with age. I realize it is actually a small envelope. From the looks of it, it seems years old. I brush away some of the dust and see that the envelope is unopened. Still sealed. My curiosity piqued. I wonder what's inside. I turn it over and blink at the name written on the front in blue cursive script: Lizzy Beresford. This is the first note that Lizzy receives, and...

Shalini Bolan's is a fantastic writer and I always jump at the chance to read her books. I really enjoyed The Silent Sister, it kept me awake late even though vowing to read just one more chapter. It was a very fast paced read that will suck you in. Lizzie is living a great life in a lovely village with her boyfriend. That is until she starts to receive strange letters that clearly show her that she is being watched... she has a stalker. Things start to happen to her and around her and she gets
Wow and wow again. The Silent Sister is a nail biting,fast paced roller coaster ride that is packed full of so many twists and turns that by the time you reach the jaw dropping final twist,you are feeling so dizzy that all you want to do is lie down in a dark room for a few hours or until your head stops spinning.Lizzy Beresford lives in a quaint cottage in Malmesbury with her boyfriend Joe and her cat Frank (The cat is named after Aretha Franklin but everytime Frank Or Joe was mentioned I could...
