Description

An electrifying novel about the unyielding bond between two sisters, which is severely tested when one of them is accused of the worst imaginable crime.

Martha and Becky Blackwater are more than sisters - they're each other's lifelines. When Martha finds herself struggling to balance early motherhood and her growing business, Becky steps in to babysit her niece, Layla, without a second thought, bringing the two women closer than ever. But then the unthinkable happens, and Becky is charged with murder.

Nine months later, Becky is on trial and maintains her innocence - and so does Martha. Unable to shake the feeling that her sister couldn't possibly be guilty, Martha sets out to uncover exactly what happened that night and how things could have gone so wrong. As the trial progresses, fault lines between the sisters begin to show - revealing cracks deep in their relationship and threatening the family each has worked so hard to build.

With incredible empathy and resounding emotional heft, The Good Sister is a powerhouse of a novel that will lead listeners to question everything they know about motherhood, family, and the price of forgiveness.

Read by Imogen Church, Charlie Sanderson, Andy Cresswell, Jan Cramer, Penny Andrews, Cassie Layton, Rachael Beresford, and Malk Williams.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"With The Good Sister, Gillian McAllister explores the exclusionary power of intimacy. She captures that feeling of being in the circle of trust, outside of it. You come away with whiplash from empathizing with each character, even the judge. This is a deeply gratifying, taut courtroom drama and so much more. I don't know how Gillian did it, but I'm so happy she did." (Caroline Kepnes, author of You and Providence)

"[A] riveting psychological thriller.... Authentic courtroom scenes, intricate family dynamics, the conflicts of motherhood, and a shocking ending all add up to a winner.” (Publishers Weekly)

“With fast-paced prose and several unexpected twists, [Gillian McAllister] skillfully weaves a web in which any of the characters might be the guilty party.... A suspenseful courtroom drama full of poignant flashbacks and unique insights.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Better as a regular book

Unfortunately the tortuously slow pace of the narration detracted from a thought provoking and sensitively written novel.

I could not suffer any longer then chapter 7

The story may have been good but I couldn't listen to the long drawn out narrator. Once I got to chapter 7 and realized I was actually tuning it out because it was sooooo dull. Do not waste you time.

It was an audiobook for me. I didnt like all the different voices. It was very soft spoken and so slow....

Story wise.
It is a very thought provoking subject but it was slow and not edgy or suspenseful. Dont get me wrong, a baby died and that is horrible. I cant put myself in her shoes and I'm not a big fan of reading about kids death or torture but she I didnt like it very much.

Sorry :(
