I'm a longtime fan of Holly's and this was my absolute favorite - spooky house, family dynamics, a rollicking storm, a creepy child. Sold! Five stars from me.

The Short Straw is a tale of sisters anc secrets, compelling and pacy with a terrific group dynamic of characters.

Three stranded sisters who barely know each other in ways that count, an old dilapidated house from their past and a collision of memories keeps you involved throughout this twisty tale.

Excellent plotting and a tale of the unexpected The Short Straw is a brilliant, clever one sitting read
