Quinn McFarland's grown up around dead bodies...
Quinn’s family has always joked about death, but this summer, death stops being funny. For one thing, Quinn’s brother undergoes a long-awaited kidney transplant. For another, Quinn’s estranged BFF, her blood sister, is brought into the family mortuary after being bludgeoned to death.
Quinn’s haunted by the past, her friendship gone awry, and the blood oath she’s sworn to keep a dark secret. The police consider her a person of interest, and someone threatens her not to talk. Quinn is the only one who knows enough to bring the killer to justice, but what she’s buried puts her in extreme danger.
Fans of Lisa Jewell and Shari Lapena will stay up late reading BAD BLOOD SISTERS.
Excerpt
Quinn lay on her back, eyes closed, imagining a sort-of prayer
for her brother. Jack was still young, just thirty-four, and she would soon be
thirty. Too young to have to deal with kidney failure and organ transplants.
Not for the first time, Quinn considered how time seemed to
speed by these days. If Jack’s life, or even hers, were to end now, what
imprint would each of them have left on the world? Neither of them married, no
children, and except for working in death services, what had either of them
accomplished?
Quinn had told her second grade teacher she was going to be
a doctor. Even at age seven, she’d wanted to work on the living side of things.
What had changed her mind, she wondered now? How had all her aspirations
evaporated into the salty Gulf Coast air?
Quinn’s thoughts drifted into the past, colorful threads of
memories. Her last thought before she fell into a troubled sleep was of the
summer of ’05. Now she remembered how she’d gone off-course. That was the
summer she’d been totally absorbed by Ana French.
