This remains a missing person inquiry and at this time there is nothing to suggest any third-party involvement in Nicola’s disappearance. I know that I am bereaved but not diminished by your death. Because you are my sister in every fiber of my being. And that fiber is visible-two strands of DNA twisted in a double helix in every cell of my body-proving, visibly that we are sisters. But there are other strands that link us, that wouldn't be seen by even the strongest of electron microscopes...We are conjoined by hundreds of thousands of memories that silt down into you and stop being memories and become a part of who you are." Nicola’s daughters broke down in tears at the news and a friend of hers said: “We just want her home.” Specialist officers are scouring the area and have sealed off the bench where Ms Bulley's phone was discovered almost a week ago.

Tess' family and the police close the case as suicide and try to move on with their lives, coming to terms with some revelations and self questioning, however, Bea takes it upon herself to discover the real truth. Single-minded in her search for a killer, Bea moves into Tess’s apartment, and into her life (including wearing her clothes) and throws herself headlong into finding her sister’s murderer. Everyone thinks she is mad (which quite frankly she probably is), but Bea knows her sister would never have killed herself voluntarily, even under incredible tragic circumstances. It comes after it emerged Nicola's daughters heard the devastating news their mum had gone missing when their dad told them “mummy’s lost.” It's two years after the events of Girl, Missing and life is not getting any easier for sixteen-year-old Lauren – exam pressure and a recent family heartbreak have taken their toll. From the vineyards of New Zealand to the majestic landscape of Ireland, The Missing Sister is the penultimate instalment in the multimillion-selling epic Seven Sisters from Lucinda Riley. A breathtaking story of love and loss, inspired by the mythology of the famous star constellation.I liked Girl, Missing, but I did read it ages ago, and i've got more fussy about books, so if I re read it now I might not like it. This isn’t a roller-coaster ride, rather than a thriller I’d call it psychological-suspense. Even rather than fast-paced with a pervading sense of menace, an uneasiness that quietly builds. Beatrice the successful level-headed older sister arrives from New York to unravel the mystery surrounding Tess’s death. Her flighty artistic kid sister who in her own condescending and slightly superior fashion she deeply loved. I enjoyed following Beatrice as she unravels the sinister events that led to her sister’s death. We learn that their younger brother died of Cystic Fibrosis as a child, which heavily impacted their family, and possibly Tess’ baby. Police and sniffer dogs are searching the perimeter of an 'abandoned' old house in the hunt for her.

Ms Bulley's mum told the Sun: “Paul had to tell the girls what was going on. He just told them, ''Mummy's lost''. It's heartbreaking.” We ask for anyone who thinks they may have any information that may help the police find Nicola to please come forward and help them with their inquiries."Sister is a psychological thriller from the viewpoint of Beatrice. Beatrice communicates to her missing sister Tess through a letter or diary-like entries. The plot is centered around her attempts to find out the truth about Tess's disappearance. I’ve loved the Seven Sisters from the get-go and this latest in the series is just as great as the rest.’ If you like your stories fast-paced, full of dangers and conflicts and impossible situations, then you will love this book. Lauren and the others endure all manner of perils and threats, and the plot twists and turns like a helter-skelter. Characters turn out to be not what they seemed, and you never know from one chapter to the next who will suddenly change sides and betray or help. There is time, however, for ample exploration of Lauren's state of mind, particularly her guilt at not protecting Madison from harm and her despair as the whole horrible nightmare starts again.

A story of love, sacrifice, courage, family, heritage, bravery courage and heritage, The Missing Sister is another consuming story from the much-loved Irish author.’ The six D’Aplièse sisters have each been on their own incredible journey to discover their heritage, but they still have one question left unanswered: who and where is the seventh sister?A search of the area involving police specialist resources, the Coastguard and Bowland Mountain Rescue is continuing. "Bit spooky too!".

While I was reading this I did think that this family suffered many problems and that annoyed me because I thought that yes, family's do have many problems and I thought this family always being kidnapped was unrealistic. So you can see that that annoyed me and that is another reason why I only rated it 4 and not a 5.In its core, Sister is an emotional story about two siblings and their relationship. While there is a mystery going on (and it is quite a good one), the focus is never completely on that - which is why I enjoyed this novel as much as I did. A lot of thrillers focus on the twists and turns, and because of that, the characters end up being flat. Here, that is not the case. I loved reading about both Beatrice and Tess, and I loved how their bond was always strong, no matter how different they were. This is one of those rare thrillers that got me really emotional, and I cared more for the characters, than the mystery - and I think that is why I was really moved and shaken at the end, when I found out what was really going on.
