However, she directly was involved with many of the events in her past, so if it’s her POV, shouldn’t it be first person, regardless of timeframe? However, in spite of these stylistic nitpicks, I felt it all flowed together well.Īnd narratively, it has all the twists and turns you come to expect from a Lucinda Riley book, especially one in this series. I know having Mary’s POV in first makes sense as it’s consistent with the other books, where each sister’s was in first, while the past was in third. And then, we have portions from the other girls in third. I did find it odd that while she was both the central “present” and “past” character, the present was in first person, and the past was in third. Mary looks back on her own past as she remembers it and learns some revelations she did not previously know about her family. Stylistically, it is a bit odd, as it is part “search for Merope,” part “unearthing one’s history” for said Merope character, Mary.
With The Missing Sister, Lucinda Riley brings together the threads connecting all the clues she’d been planting over the previous seven books, as the D’Appliese sisters go on a search for Merope, “the missing sister.” In typical Riley fashion, it’s a beautifully executed slow-burn, with multiple storylines coming together to inform one’s family history, as well as provide answers (and more questions) surrounding the big mystery that lay in the background over the course of the series. I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley and am voluntarily posting a review.
The Missing Sister is the seventh installment in Lucinda Riley’s multi-million copy epic series.ĭiscover yourself at the heart of history. In doing so, they will slowly unearth a story of love, strength and sacrifice that began almost one hundred years ago, as other brave young women risk everything to change the world around them. The search to find the missing sister will take them across the globe from New Zealand to Canada, England, France and Ireland, uniting them all in their mission to at last complete their family. They only have one clue – an image of a star-shaped emerald ring. The six D’Aplièse sisters have each been on their own incredible journey to discover their heritage, but they still have one question left unanswered: who and where is the seventh sister?
