Today is my stop on the blog tour for My Sister's Lies by SD Robertson. I have an extract to share with you today and if you like the sound of this one, you can click here to order yourself a copy. Don't forget to check out the other blogs on the tour for more exclusive content and reviews.
Here's what it's all about:
For a decade, Hannah’s life has been pretty close to perfect – she has a great job, she’s married to Mark, and her child-free existence means she’s free as a bird. The only sadness in her life is a fall-out with her sister Diane, who hasn’t spoken to her in over ten years. But now Diane is on her doorstep – and this time, she’s got her teenage daughter Mia in tow.
When Diane asks if Mia can stay with Hannah and Mark for a few days, Hannah is glad of the chance to get to know her niece. But as the days turn into weeks and Diane doesn’t return, Hannah begins to worry. Why hasn’t her sister been in touch?
Diane is carrying a devastating secret that will destroy Hannah’s carefully constructed life. But how much is she willing to reveal – and when will she pick her moment?
An emotional story that delves into the true meaning of family, sisterhood and secrets. Perfect for fans of Kerry Fisher and Adele Parks.
And here's that extract for you!
Except suddenly here she was again . . . dining and soon to
be sleeping in her home.
How was Hannah supposed to deal with that? No wonder she
felt so confused and conflicted.
‘Well, who wants some coffee?’ Mark asked, clapping his
hands together as he stood up from the table.
‘Good idea,’ Hannah added, also getting to her feet and starting to clear the plates. ‘I’ll give you a hand.’ She
looked at her sister as she added: ‘Then we can all sit down and have a good
chat, right?’
Diane nodded, her face looking very pale all of a sudden.
‘Of course. But could I be awkward and ask for tea instead of coffee?’
‘No problem,’ Mark replied.
She also made a move to get up and help clear the dishes,
but Hannah told her it wasn’t necessary. ‘You go and grab a seat in the
lounge,’ she said, keen to have a few moments alone with her husband before the
big discussion.
‘So what do you think she’s going to say?’ Hannah asked Mark
a few minutes later. She spoke in a low voice but was glad of the noise of the
kettle and coffee maker to ensure they weren’t overheard.
He shook his head. ‘I really have no idea. She’s played her
cards very close to her chest so far. It could well be money she’s after, I
suppose. What kind of car has she got?’
‘I’ve not got a clue. I didn’t ask. Why would I? And I
didn’t see them arrive in it. I don’t even know where she’s left it. A nearby
car park, I suppose, although that won’t be cheap.’
Thanks so much to SD Robertson for stopping by today and sharing that with us!
