"One woman's search for her missing sister on the sandy white beaches of the Hamptons uncovers a wealth of secrets worth killing for-a sultry and sumptuous psychological suspense from USA Today bestselling author Stephanie DeCarolis. Alex Walker has always looked up to her perfect older sister. Maddie has succeeded in all the ways Alex has not: she escaped their hometown and seems to have put the memories of their unstable childhood behind her. But despite the different paths their lives have taken, the two sisters made a pact to spend one week together every summer. It was a promise they'd never broken. . . Until now. When Maddie suddenly cancels her annual trip home, Alex begins to worry. But when she stops returning her calls altogether, Alex is certain something is wrong. Relying on the only clues Maddie left behind, Alex follows her sister's footsteps to the Hamptons, where she meets the Blackwell family-the last people to have seen Maddie alive before she vanished into thin air. The Blackwells seemto have it all: wealth, beauty, and a beach-side mansion on a private stretch of Hamptons real estate. It's a world unlike any Alex has ever known, but she quickly discovers that looks can be deceiving, and a life of luxury always comes at a cost"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

As young children, Alex and Maddie Walker were often mistaken for twins; Maddie was always quick to correct folks, letting them know she was a year older than Alex. But Alex treasured the idea of them being twins . . . two halves of a whole.
But Dad left, Mom died, and Alex and Maddie aren’t speaking to each other. And when Maddie misses her birthday . . . something she’d promised long ago that she would NEVER do . . . Alex is sure something is wrong and goes in search of her sister.
Heading for the Hamptons, Alex searches for Maddie at The Lobster Shack and learns that her sister has not shown up for work for several days.
What happened to Maddie? And can Alex find her before something even more terrible occurs?
=========
Told from several points of view, the overarching mystery of what happened to Maddie pulls the story together as a variety of viewpoints yield clues to long-held secrets. The plot twists and turns as lies and deceit join the secrets to keep readers guessing. Unpredictable and intriguing, readers are pulled into the telling of the tale from the outset.
With well-developed characters . . . several of whom are truly unlikable . . . and a strong sense of place, the unfolding story moves quickly thanks, in part, to short chapters. Flashbacks fill in the backstory and help give the characters depth.
Readers who enjoy mysteries, stories focused on family and relationships, and stories filled with dark secrets will find much to appreciate in this quick-read, compelling tale.
Highly recommended.
