Reviews
"Cunning.... Readers of The Better Sister, Alafair Burke's wonderfully twisty new thriller, should get ready to be led down the garden path to a conclusion so morally ambiguous a professional ethicist might have to be called in." -- Washington Post "Coming off of last year's brilliantly timely The Wife, psychological-suspense master Burke traces the uneasy relationship between two sisters and how it's tested in the wake of a grisly murder." -- Entertainment Weekly "Alafair Burke's name on the cover always guarantees a stellar read, and this novel is no exception. Elements of other domestic thrillers are in abundance, but the author knows how to take what could easily be cliché and make it feel brand-new. The realistic family relationship carries this story to great heights and wonderful surprises." -- Associated Press "In addition to being a gripping thriller, this is a poignant look at the lives of two very different sisters--and how seemingly inconsequential events can often bring about great sacrifices. Burke gets better with each new read." -- Karin Slaughter "One hell of a rip-roaring read.... Taut-domestic-and-courtroom-thriller aspects aside, Burke is, as always, terrific on the salient cultural details that bring her characters to vibrant life." -- Seattle Review of Books "The Better Sister is more than a standard-issue whodunit. The underlying mystery becomes the mystery of character. . . . [Burke] caps her story with a keenly detailed trial taut with suspense. The case spins with reversals--it isn't over even when it's over." -- Newsday "Burke hits the ground running with the highly entertaining The Better Sister, and the story continues to peak in one believable twist after another. Surprises lead The Better Sister to a sizzling finale." -- South Florida Sun Sentinel "Compelling.... In addition to the powerful characteristics of a thriller, The Better Sister is also a psychological investigation of social media, gender in business, childrearing, and family ties." -- New York Journal of Books "The fans who put Burke's last domestic thriller on the bestseller list are going to be happy with this one, a gimmick-free murder mystery with a two-stage surprise ending and uncommonly few credibility straining plot elements.... You'll kill this one fast and be glad you did." -- Kirkus "Mesmerizing.... Burke paints a poignant portrait of sisterhood and sacrifice with this twist-riddled, character-driven whodunit." -- Publishers Weekly "Boasting Burke's trademark blend of everywoman investigations mixed with courtroom drama, this twisty thriller is destined to become a vacation-reading favorite." -- Booklist "A straightforward and uncomplicated character-driven mystery that also delves into the topics of sisterhood and abuse. Mystery lovers will find much to enjoy in this fast-moving whodunit." -- Library Journal "Burke has a flair for creating compelling characters who bring out a plethora of emotions from the reader. A worthy follow-up to last year's smash The Wife. Do not miss!" -- Tulsa Book Review "A brilliant look at the lengths a mother (or two) will go for family." -- BookPage "If you love twisty thrillers like we do, you won't want to miss The Better Sister." -- BookBub "Sure to be one of the year's most celebrated suspense novels....Burke brings readers into an enticing world and then shatters them with one startling revelation after another, always keeping a firm grip on the suspense and packing each sentence full with feeling." -- CrimeReads "You know just from the title that this is going to be a winner; you also know it's a "must read" from the simple fact that Alafair Burke is the author....A non-stop thriller fest." -- Suspense Magazine "Chilling and thrilling....Will keep you engaged from start to finish." -- FreshFiction, The fans who put Burke's last domestic thriller on the bestseller list are going to be happy with this one, a gimmick-free murder mystery with a two-stage surprise ending and uncommonly few credibility straining plot elements.... You'll kill this one fast and be glad you did., In addition to being a gripping thriller, this is a poignant look at the lives of two very different sisters--and how seemingly inconsequential events can often bring about great sacrifices. Burke gets better with each new read.

Synopsis
Soon to be a Prime Video TV series starring Elizabeth Banks and Jessica Biel A Washington Post and Sun Sentinel Best Book of the Year "Cunning. . . . Get ready to be led down the garden path to a conclusion so morally ambiguous a professional ethicist might have to be called in." -- Washington Post From Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author of the runaway hit The Wife, comes another twisty tale of domestic noir. When a prominent Manhattan lawyer is murdered, two estranged sisters--one the dead man's widow, the other his ex--must set aside mistrust and old resentments. . . but can they escape their past? Keep your enemies close and your sister closer. Though Chloe was the younger of the two Taylor sisters, she always seemed to be the one in charge. She was the honor roll student with big dreams and an even bigger work ethic. Nicky--always restless and more than a little reckless--was the opposite of her ambitious little sister. She floated from job to job and man to man, and stayed close to home in Cleveland. For a while, it seemed that both sisters had found happiness. Chloe earned a scholarship to an Ivy League school and moved to New York City, where she landed a coveted publishing job. Nicky married promising young attorney Adam Macintosh and gave birth to a baby boy they named Ethan. The Taylor sisters became virtual strangers. Now, more than fifteen years later, their lives are drastically different--and Chloe is married to Adam. When he's murdered by an intruder at the couple's East Hampton beach house, Chloe reluctantly allows her teenage stepson's biological mother--her estranged sister, Nicky--back into her life. But when the police begin to treat Ethan as a suspect in his father's death, the two sisters are forced to unite . . . and to confront the truth behind family secrets they have tried to bury in the past., New York Times Bestselling Author From Alafair Burke-- New York Times bestselling author of the runaway hit, The Wife -- comes another twisty tale of domestic noir.
