A Family of Strangers

fullDescription

Could a lifetime of memories...be a lifetime of lies?
All her life Ryan Gracey watched her perfect older sister from afar. Knowing she could never top Wendy's achievements, she didn't even try. Instead Ryan forged her own path while her family barely seemed to notice.
Now Wendy shares two little girls with her perfect husband while Ryan mourns the man she lost after a nearly fatal mistake in judgment. The sisters' choices have taken them in different directions, which is why Ryan is stunned when Wendy calls, begging for her help. There's been a murder—and Wendy believes she'll be wrongfully accused.
While Wendy lies low, Ryan moves back to their hometown to care for the nieces she hardly knows. The sleuthing skills she's refined as a true-crime podcaster quickly rise to the surface as she digs for answers with the help of an unexpected ally. Yet the trail of clues Wendy's left behind lead to nothing but questions. Blood may be thicker than water, but what does Ryan owe a sister who, with every revelation, becomes more and more a stranger?
Is Wendy, who always seemed so perfect, just a perfect liar—or worse?

     June 1, 2019
     Ryan Gracey always looked up to her picture-perfect older sister, Wendy. At the wrap party for her popular true-crime podcast, Ryan receives a mysterious call from Wendy, who is going into hiding to avoid being arrested for murder. Ryan decamps to her hometown to care for Wendy's two daughters, and she quickly realizes that something is amiss with the girls. As Ryan delves deeper into Wendy's web of lies, she uses her research and criminal-justice expertise to search for her sister. Returning home also means confronting a traumatic event from her past and reconciling with her ex-boyfriend, a former K-9 officer and dog trainer. Richards (When We Were Sisters, 2016) deftly shifts from women's fiction into domestic suspense, but she doesn't sacrifice the emotional acuity that her fans expect. Ryan's relationships are at the heart of the story, and the few shocking reveals are sensitively handled and presented as part of the difficult process of coming to terms with longstanding family secrets. Readers of relationship-focused domestic-suspense authors such as Lisa Jewell will enjoy Richards' pivot into the genre.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
