In The Winter Sister, Sylvie returns home to take care of her mother who has cancer. Once home she has to face past demons regarding the disappearance of her sister, Persephone, as well as her guilt over her own actions the night her sister disappeared.
Collins excels at setting the atmosphere and tone of the mystery. She takes advantage of nature to help set the overall feel of the novel. The family dynamics are skillfully illustrated. Collins keeps the tension at just the right level throughout. I look forward to reading more by this author.
Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this mystery.
