Review

"[A]n intense psychological thriller that has a surprise twist... Laurin provides an insightful look at how secrets can shatter a bond between twins."―Publishers Weekly
"A twisty, mind-bending thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat as she probes the bond and secrets between twins."―USAToday.com
"There are an abundance of suspense/thriller writers, but none is better than Nina Laurin at fooling the reader as her plotline takes numerous 90 degree turns, while she builds suspense one red herring at a time. What My Sister Knew is a thriller built on shifting sands; just as one feels solid ground under his feet, the earth cracks open, and the reader falls into the abyss where nothing and no one is trustworthy. Laurin writes in prose that is both eloquent and concise, and is a genius at hiding the truth in plain sight if only the reader would think of the psychology of the characters rather than the evidence. No suspense fan should miss this book."―NYJournalof Books.com

"One of the best things a novel can do is keep you guessing, and Nina Laurin's sophomore effort does exactly that. What My Sister Knew is a rich, complex story about the effects of secrets, the lingering consequences of abuse, the inner workings of deeply troubled households, filial love, and the way we are shaped by trauma. Fans of psychological thrillers would be remiss to skip this one."―CriminalElement.com
"Nina Laurin delivers an action-packed, mind-bending ride. Just when you think you've discovered the truth, a new secret is revealed, making you question whether there really is a line between good and evil."―Wendy Walker, bestselling author of All is Not Forgotten
"4 Stars! I am two for two when it comes to Nina Laurin's books! The book starts out with questions, suspense, and intrigue, and slowly builds to a bursting crescendo as we learn more about Andrea, Eli, and their family.

It was a fast read that had me flying through the pages and entertained me for hours on end."―TheSuspenseIsThrillingMe.com
