The Sister Under the Stairs by Steena Holmes

“I’m sorry.” Two words, delivered with flowers, every year on the anniversary of the day she vanished. It’s the only clue they’ve ever had.

My twin disappeared.
I blame myself.
I won’t stop looking.

Jess went missing on our way home from school. We were sixteen. Dad’s golden rule was never walk home alone – but I was in a hurry, and she was flirting with boys. She just vanished. No word. No sightings. Nothing. My family was destroyed.

Each year, on the anniversary of Jess’s disappearance, a bunch of flowers is delivered to our home, along with a note. Two words: I’m sorry.

It’s the only clue we’ve ever had as to what happened. Until the day I get a text: I found her. And in my desperation to know the truth, I’m walking into a carefully-laid trap . . .

The truth about what happened to my twin is even worse than I could ever have imagined.

Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, Lucy Clarke, Lucy Foley, Shari Lapena, T.M. Logan and Clare Mackintosh – a page-turning suspense from the New York Times bestselling author who brought you Finding Emma and The Perfect Secret.

There’s a particular kind of grief that comes with not knowing — no funeral, no closure, just a question that never stops asking itself. Paige’s story let me sit inside that grief and ask what twelve years of guilt does to someone who refuses to stop looking for the person she loves most.

I hope Jess and Paige’s story keeps you turning pages long after you should have turned off the light.

Happy reading,
— Steena
