I had never read one of Helen Smith's books before reading Three Sisters.  Mysteries are not something I ordinarily read, but I decided to give this one a try.  This novella is about 70 pages and didn't take long to read at all.Emily is invited to a party in her neighborhood.  At the party we are introduced to some very colorful characters, and performers.  We meet sisters that are knife throwers and brothers that are a little strange at times.Things are not as they appear at this party, and Emily believes that a girl may or may not have been murdered.  She is very determined that she is going to figure it out for sure, with a little help from Dr. Muriel (a neighbor also).I found Three Sisters to be a short and fast read.  It did take a little bit before I got used to the characters speaking in short and incomplete sentences.  That's just the way they spoke, but once I got used to that all went well.I would have also liked to have known more about the characters and who they were and how Emily knew them.  This would have added more flavor to their already interesting party.
