Sisters
After her parents die in a car accident, Alex Woods is shocked to learn she has a half-sister, a child whom her mother, then a teenager, placed for adoption. Alone in the world, Alex has her lawyer trace her sister, and he finds Dory Colson—serving a sentence for the murder of her sister, an up-and-coming country music singer. Alex feels compelled to meet Dory. When Dory is freed because of her public defender’s incompetence during her trial, she has nowhere to go (her adoptive mother wants nothing to do with her), prompting Alex to invite Dory to move in with her. While Alex wants to believe Dory is innocent, her behavior makes Alex nervous. Then Alex is stabbed in her own home. Is Dory guilty, or has someone been framing her all along? This fast-paced novel of psychological suspense with ­numerous plot twists pulls the reader in and keeps the pages turning. --Sue OBrien
