Sisters! If you’ve got one, you know what I’m talking about.
As for me, I ruined mine’s life when I was born. She continually tried to get
rid of me. Seriously. Locked me in the refrigerator back in the olden days when
they locked when closed (you couldn’t just push them open from the inside). Apparently,
I fit inside perfectly. She pushed me down a hill in a cardboard box into rush
hour traffic. Told me Indians were in the barn and waiting for darkness to come
scalp me. Anyway, you get the point. Sisters can be huge pains in the you know
what.
Don’t want to lead you astray. This book is not a comedy. Sisters
can be many things.
Tessa Shepherd has just made a mistake. A big one. She filmed a
documentary about a murderer who was wrongly accused. After her film helps to
get him released, he kidnaps the daughter of the police officer who convicted
him and implies that Tessa knew the plan all along. She is hounded by the press
but cannot call the one person she needs to share her side of the story with…
her twin sister. They have not spoken in years.
Tessa’s mother dies suddenly. During the reading of the will, she
and her sister find that their Mother was not who they thought she was. They
now own a once beautiful, magnificent home that is now ruined and decaying. A home where her Mother’s entire family was murdered
when she was just a baby.
In an attempt to hide from the press and the murderer, Tessa goes there
only to find that the caretakers are two elderly sisters. One of them does not
want her there and they don’t seem to be telling Tessa the truth about her
family. Tessa vows to get to the bottom of the story, but will she be able to
find the truth about her family before time runs out?
“The Caretakers” was a great story that blended old, family
secrets with new ones and had a touch of the supernatural. Great imagery of the
old house, forest and care taker’s cottage. It had some good twists and turns
while getting to the end.
Oh, and by the way, it’s all good now. We laugh about my sister’s
attempts to strike me from her life. She is my best friend.
