Interspersed between both sister’s perspectives in the present day, we see them reflecting on their childhood. With a missing child on the line it was safe to say this one would hook me into the story and not let go but also full of shifty characters and a fast paced plot it was extremely addictive. M. with Emily and her husband James going out and giving explicit instructions not to remove baby Daisy from where she had put down for the night.

Little Sister gripped me from the very first page and held me in it's grasp throughout the entire book. Batten down the hatches, the next year in books is going to be a blast, at the moment Trapeze have their eyes firmly on the dynamite. This book starts with a fairly short but almost too powerful prologue which really does leave you wondering just what is to come. Another adaptation by Stephen Wyatt, directed by Claire Grove, was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 15 October 2011, starring Toby Stephens as Marlowe. She used goes to reason where I'd have used stands to reason, born was used and not borne and the second a wasn't needed here-"She'd had a few a blips" and purposely was used and not purposefully.She brilliantly shows us how much personality affects both the execution and the resolution of a transgression. Detective Jonah Sheens quickly discovers that Keely and her sister, Nina, disappeared from a children’s home a week ago. You can't help but feel things coming to a head and wonder what the fall-out will be, making Isabel Ashdown's Little Sister a disturbing yet truly compelling read.

I look beyond the inspector, out into the empty space of the doorway towards the dining room as another officer passes by. Perfect for fans of Cara Hunter, Linda Green, Laura Marshall, Amy Lloyd, Linda Green, and Claire Allan. I have to admit that this is the first book that I’ve read by Isabel Ashdown as she isn’t an author I’ve come across before. It is on occasions a slow and involving read, sometimes a little on the languorous side, unhurried maybe. This definitely wasn’t a gripping thriller for me, and the small ‘twist’ at the end was extremely anticlimactic.My heart lurches at the thought of her, of the pain she has yet to feel, of the gaping hole that’s about to open up in her world. I am pleased she cleared up the number of nieces right at the start and that one is a step-daughter as I'd have been totally baffled by this and not all authors are as thoughtful ! Everyone said I was spoiling you, that I should stop with all the little presents – spend my money on myself instead – but they didn’t understand that all I ever wanted to do was make you happy. And if Jonah follows the trail of clues in her story, will they lead him to the missing girl—or distract him until it’s too late?

Surely 16 years is a long time so Emily and Jess reconcile their differences and become sisters once again. My Naughty Little Sister has charmed generations of adults and children alike thanks to Dorothy Edwards’ playful stories and Shirley Hughes’ beautiful illustrations.This affectionate portrait of family life is the story of a naughty three-year-old sister who is obstinate, inquisitive and full of mischief. In the end I think this is a deceptively simple story told with deceptively simple writing - it hooked me. Jonah Sheens is at the pub with his daughter Milly, enjoying nice weather, a rare moment of quiet from his infant and a pint, when a young girl wanders onto the grounds. Try not to wake her,’ James had said as they headed off for their party earlier that evening, dressed up in their black-tie best, looking quite the glamorous pair. DCI Jacobs leans out to speak to Emily and James, who are still being interviewed at the dining table.
