I've really enjoyed The Better Sister! Your writing style scratches an itch in my brain that I didn't know I had! That being said, did you have any in particular inspiration for The Better Sister?
Alafair Burke
I grew up in a house with four kids so am familiar with the ways siblings move in and out of each other’s lives and also have conflicting perceptions of their own family. Those were the very early ideas that eventually led to Chloe and Nicky. I’m really glad you enjoyed the read. Of my other novels, The Wife, The Ex, and Find Me might scratch that same itch (which I myself happen to share, of course).

Ms.Burke I won 12 Books of The Wife for my Book club. We had our meeting today and every single person absolutely loved the book. The way it was written, the suspense and the surprises. Even the one member that seems not to like any of the books we choose and only likes cozy books loved this book. I had told her before we all read the book to be more open to reading something exciting and she was happy she read it. ?
