The Ties That Bind

The Deadly Sister, written by the prolific Eliot Schrefer, is a complex murder mystery that poses the following question: How well do we really know those who are closest to us? 18-year-old dependable and down-to-earth Abby Goodwin has always taken care of her reckless sister, Maya. She has always gotten Maya out of trouble, covered her drug use and broken curfews, and mediated disputes between her sibling and their parents. When Abby accidentally finds the corpse of Maya's boyfriend on an early morning jog, and the police immediately suspect Maya, Abby helps her sister run away and probes the murder on her own. As she fervently tries to prove Maya's innocence, she uncovers harsh realities, a host of questionable characters, and a crisis of conscience. Appearances are truly deceptive in this shocking, well-crafted story with a surprise twist.
