And if Jonah follows the trail of clues in her story, will they lead him to the missing girl—or distract him until it’s too late? The clever, interwoven stories, the fractured and fraught relationships between the characters, the devious and controlling scenarios easily put Little Sister into my Top Ten reads of 2017. Having said that, there were also parts that seemed to drag which caused the book to feel slow at times. Isabel was born in London, grew up on the Sussex coast, and now spends much of her time in a writing cabin in Dorset.

This was a really engrossing read that kept me on my toes and Ashdown's writing style was really crisp and effective. Colman tells her class that they are going to adopt a grandparent, she adopts a grandmother and now has five. As in all of Chandler's novels, one of the major themes in The Little Sister is the love/hate relationship that Chandler had with Los Angeles and Hollywood. Her eyes are the same eyes, the exact startling blue of her father’s, but here they are unadorned, not yet blackly lined and painted like those of the teenager I’ve come to know so well.Excellently put together, this is a slow burning thriller that makes for an enthralling an multi-layered read.

Jessica and Emily two sisters are reunited after sixteen years of estrangement at their mother's funeral. The setting of the small Island gives a slightly claustrophobic feel to the story and as a regular visitor, I could easily visualise the locations mentioned.

Thank you to the publisher for sending this to me, and to THE Tracy (that’s Tracy without an ‘e’) Fenton for running the competition on her blog Compulsive Readers. Surely 16 years is a long time so Emily and Jess reconcile their differences and become sisters once again. At the same time, one of the villains of the novel, the one "who never looked less like Lady Macbeth," is not the film star of the Quest family, but the little sister, a mousy small town girl who ultimately cares more for a few dollars than for her siblings. The story is set in Los Angeles in the late 1940s and follows Marlowe's investigation of a missing persons case and blackmail scheme centered around a Hollywood starlet.

Sure, I missed out on some character backstory but there is enough information given about past history to get the gist.Throughout the chapters there are flashbacks to when Emily and Jess where younger,these flashbacks explain events before and after the terrible event that caused the sisters to drift apart. I have to admit that this is the first book that I’ve read by Isabel Ashdown as she isn’t an author I’ve come across before.
