And a race against time to find the explosive truth in this twisty and captivating thriller by “master of domestic suspense” (says Lisa Scottoline) and instant USA Today bestselling author, Hank Phillippi Ryan.

But now, on the eleventh anniversary of the tragedy, Bea fails to retrieve her pre-teen daughter from a sleepover at Eliza’s. Eliza knows her sister would never leave her precious Piper behind, and fears the worst. But did Bea plan her own disappearance? The Ramsey’s lives have already crashed and burned once. Now, Eliza discovers she's the only one who can protect her niece from the horrifying legacy of her family’s sinister history. Together, the two must prevent their lives from going up in in flames once again. A missing mother. Her frightened daughter. And a sister on a desperate search for a happy ending.

Oh, this is so wonderful! Look look look what Goodreads did! Here’s why it’s especially fabulous: It’s such a strange time in my book cycle — the book is done cover, the cover is perfect, galleys are being sent to early reviewers by my darling publisher — so now, really, this part of my life is all about crossed fingers. I love this book, but will you? “Two sisters, one secret, and a family with a deadly legacy. A missing Mom, a frightened daughter, and a sister determined to find the truth.“ That’s why, it is so incredibly wonderful to see MOTHER DAUGHTER SISTER STRANGER in the spotlight from the fabulous @goodreads ! #HankPhillippiRyan #Goodreads #MotherDaughterSisterStranger #feature #thriller @minotaur_books
