From Twitter:

...be forced to assemble a crack team of ex SAS soldiers to break in to @TrapezeBooks & steal the hard drive! #unputdownable #LittleSister
Two paragraphs in and I knew I was doomed - didn't move until I'd finished the three chapter sample and now I'm bursting to read the rest of the novel to find out more of Jess and Emily and what's happened to baby Daisy. Please send help!

This is a review of the sampler that I received from Netgalley. I don't usually start books when I know I can't finish then as doing this really does my head in, but I do love this author's work so I just couldn't help myself. On the face of reading just the first few chapters of this book I am totally hooked and can't wait to get back to it and find out what happens.
Sisters Jessica and Emily have been reunited and Jessica has moved in with her sister's family, predominantly to look after baby Daisy. It is obvious that there is something between the two sisters, something that happened in their past. (Can't wait to find out what!) One night, Emily and her husband go out, leaving Jess babysitting Daisy. They arrive home in the wee hours to find Daisy missing and Jess covered in blood. Whose blood? What has happened? Why can't Jess explain?
From the few chapters that I devoured, I really want to know more. Certain things have already been hinted at, whetting my appetite to know more. Wanting to know more about these characters that, even though we had only just met, I found myself interested getting to know further.
I know there are a bunch of book about at the moment that feature unreliable narrators but, from what little I have read, I think this will stand out. Hope so. Can't wait to find out...
