SISTER DEAR

Hannah Mary McKinnon

Beauty. Wealth. Success. She's got it all. And it should've been mine.

Everything is slipping through Eleanor Hardwicke's fingers. When her beloved father dies, her world is further shattered by a gut-wrenching secret: the man she's grieving isn't really her dad. Eleanor was the product of an affair and her biological father is still out there, living blissfully with the family he chose. With her personal life spiraling, a desperate Eleanor seeks him out, leading her to uncover another branch on her family treean infuriatingly enviable half-sister.

Perfectly perfect Victoria has everything Eleanor could ever dream of. Loving childhood, luxury home, devoted husband. All of it stolen from Eleanor who deserves it just as much. Now she plans to take it back. After all, good sisters are supposed to share. And quiet, docile little Eleanor has been waiting far too long for her turn to play.

HANNAH MARY MCKINNON is the author of the critically acclaimed domestic suspense tale The Neighbors (MIRA, 2018) and the national bestseller Her Secret Son (MIRA, 2019). She lives in the Toronto area with her family.

Hodder has acquired UK rights to SISTER, DEAR, THE NEIGHBORS and HER SECRET SON and will be publishing simultaneously in May 2020

Another emotionally wrought and turbo-driven domestic drama from McKinnon, with paternity issues again at the forefront, as they were in Her Secret Son (2019). In an almost Grimm-like tale, a family secret offers Eleanor Hardwicke an opportunity to escape the downward spiral of her meager existence. When the man she believes to be her father dies, she finds out that her biological father is a very wealthy man and that she has an enviable, beautiful half-sister. Eleanor fabricates a plan to claim her share of real father's estate. Instead of just announcing her existence to the family, she inveigles her way into their lives, and the mousy woman everyone always overlooked surprises the reader as well as herself. But there is danger in ignoring the golden rule of fairy talesbe careful what you wish forand in time she encounters deception equal to her own, leading to a horrific conclusion. The author notes that taking Eleanor from self-conscious to brazen and distraught was quite the ride, and it is a trip her fans will enjoy. - Booklist
