Keep your enemies close and your sister closer...
For a while, it seemed like both Taylor sisters had found happiness. Chloe landed a coveted publishing job in New York City. Nicky got married to a promising young attorney named Adam McIntosh and became a mother to a baby boy named Ethan.
But now, fourteen years later, it is Chloe who is married to Adam. When he is murdered at the couple's beach house, she has no choice but to welcome her estranged sister - her teenage stepson's biological mother - back into her life. When the police begin to treat Ethan as a suspect, the sisters are forced to confront the truth behind family secrets they both tried to leave behind in order to protect the boy they love, whatever the cost.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
“I had no idea that four years later, I’d become the second Mrs. Adam Macintosh, or that ten years after that, I’d be the one to find his dead body.” As far as punchy climaxes to opening chapters go, Alafair Burke goes big here. Indeed, The Better Sister is a thriller big on bombastic twists, astonishing family drama and chilling violence. Our lead is Chloe Taylor, the aforementioned second Mrs. Adam Macintosh. The first? Her wayward sister, Nicky. That’d be enough juicy action for some novels, but things quickly escalate as we zoom forward to Adam’s death and his son Ethan’s arrest for his murder. Chloe remains the book’s star attraction: a steely, emotional sharp and complex lead that keeps the outsized twists and turns feeling entirely relatable.
