The Missing Sister (edició 2020)

Shaina’s twin sister is killed and she’s called to Paris to identify the body. Except when she arrives, a cryptic message in her sister’s apartment that only she can read (in their secret twin language) pleads that she’s not really dead. And to trust no one.

Creepy start.

So Shaina picks up the pieces of her sister’s life, following her footsteps around Paris (this was a cool read if you’re looking for a tourist sort of escape to Paris—really great descriptions of popular sites, particularly the catacombs), unsure if she can trust any of the people claiming they want to help her. Bits of backstory are provided as well. You aren’t really sure if you can trust anyone in this story—Shaina and Angela included. I liked all the twists in this one, particularly as we neared the end. There were lots of surprises and red herrings and I was kept riveted all the way through!

So Shanna goes to Paris because she finds out her twin Angela was murdered. While there she discovers clues from Angela that she was not murdered, This sets Shanna on a path to find out what happened to Angela. Now the first thing Angela tells Shanna is trust no one, which of course Shanna promptly ignores. She trusts everyone except the police. She runs arounds Paris doing investigation till eventually she realizes she can't trust anyone then figures out what's going one and who she can trust. Sappy sister stuff and I mean seriously sappy sister stuff like I should be in a sugar coma. Then is 2019 these women trade passports and Angela takes Shanna's passport and gets on an international flight from Paris to the US. Yes they are identical twins, but there is no way that the US Embassy in Paris is not going to know that Angels used Shanna's passport or the Paris police, And just be o-kay Angela just disappeared bye bye Angela see ya later.

This book was a slow start and fizzled in the end ( )

If you are a twin, you need to read this book. If you grew up with a sister, you need to read this book. A dramatic story of disappearance, code breaking, phobias and traumas, while exploring the depth and complexity of sibling relationships. Who do you trust? A stay up late page turner! ( )

Shayna travels to Paris because she receives a message that her twin sister is dead; but she walks into her sister's apartment she sees a coded message on the board that reads "Alive. Trust No one".
This book is well written and has many twists and turns and will have the reader guessing until the very end. I love it that the catacombs play a prominent part in the story ( )
