...has a lot going on for 350 pages, most of which is detail masquerading as substance. Let's explore.The core of the novel is promising: Riley (our protagonist) is cleaning out the home of her late father and 'discovers evidence' that her sister, who everyone thinks committed suicide, might be alive. She embarks on a journey to discover her family's past.That tidy little nugget of synopsis is stretched to a degree of agonizing attenuation over the course of the novel. The reader is forced toImagine everything you've been told about you, your family, and your long lost sister are all lies? Well, in Diane Chamberlain's The Silent Sister Riley MacPherson finds that the stories she's been told of her sister, believed to have committed suicide as a teenager, just may in fact be alive. How's that for a huge family secret?Riley is trying to clean out her father's home when a series of events lead her to believe that she may in fact want to investigate her past. At the age of 25, all the
What an amazing book. I really enjoyed this book. I will definitely be looking into more books from this author.
The Silent Sister by Diane Chamberlain is a 2014 St. Martins Press publication. I have enjoyed every book Ive read by Diane Chamberlain, but this is one of those I missed along the way. I recently saw Buzzfeeds list of the top most suspenseful books and this one was pretty far up on the list. So, I immediately went in search of a copy.

When Riley MacPherson returns home to New Bern, North Carolina following her father's death, she discovers information among his belongings that unveils a lifetime of secrets.I found this to be an interesting story with an underlying message about the cost of withholding secrets from family for their sake. The toll it took on Riley's self perception and her damaged brother, Danny, was immeasurable. I thought it was an apt illustration of good intentions gone awry.I liked the story though I
This is the type of book that is enjoyable even when you have an idea what is going to happen. You feel invested enough in the story to actually watch it play out even if it is predictable. Riley MacPherson's father has recently passed and she returns to her childhood home to sort through his belongings. It's up to her to get everything in order because her sister committed suicide when Riley was a toddler, her mother died years ago and her brother Danny won't be much help because he has his own
Perhaps not my favorite Chamberlain, but another solid and enjoyable read by who I think is one of today's better story tellers. I am always able to connect with most of her characters, as they are "real" people. In this case Riley could be anyone I know....until her father dies and she comes to discover that her life is full of secrets and lies. Chamberlain tells this story through two voices. The present voice is Riley as she tries to discover if anything she grew up believing is true. The
