Narrated by: Eleanor Tomlinson, John Hopkins

Brought to you by Penguin.

Two sisters went missing. Only one of them came back...

Detective Jonah Sheens is enjoying a moment of peace and quiet, when a teenage girl wanders out of the wood.

She's striking, with flame-red hair and a pale complexion.

She's also covered in blood.

She insists she's fine. It's her sister he needs to worry about.

Jonah quickly discovers that Keely and her sister, Nina, disappeared from a children's home a week ago. Now, Keely is here - but Nina's still missing.

Keely likes to play games. She knows where her sister is - but before she tells, she wants Jonah's full attention.

Is she killer, witness, or victim? And will Jonah find out what Keely's hiding, in time to save Nina?

Critic reviews

Addictive, fast-paced and so expertly plotted that when I finished I had to read the beginning again, in awe at the twists. I'm a huge fan of the Sheens series but this is my favourite yet. I loved it! (Claire Douglas)

Smart, moody, intense and tangled. I loved it (Gillian McAllister)

Little Sister is a smart and devastatingly raw novel of revenge and manipulation. Brilliantly sharp, and wonderfully paced, it is a page-turner not to be missed (L.V. Matthews, Richard and Judy bestselling author of The Twins)

From the pen of a skilled storyteller, this is perfectly paced, with twists and turns to keep you hooked, and beautifully written (Amanda Jennings)

Nothing is as it seems in this latest brilliant instalment from the Detective Jonah Sheens series. Little Sister is a hugely affecting tale of innocence lost and revenge - the kind of book you'll want to read twice to see if you spot the clues the second time! Cleverly plotted, perfectly paced, and with the trademark warmth we've come to expect from this series (Caz Frear)

Intriguing, unsettling and twisty as hell. A great cast of characters who are brilliantly drawn. Gytha is a classy storyteller (Neil Lancaster)

Fresh, original and compulsive - I raced through it (Trevor Wood)

Little Sister had me thoroughly hooked right the way through, with twists and turns I did not see coming. Vivid characterisation, and a masterly control of the rising tension. A fantastic crime novel (Katherine Webb)

Little Sister gripped me from the very first page, Lodge is an absolute master at balancing character with fast-paced plot, unexpected twists and edge of your seat, I-have-to-know-what-happened-crime (Cate Quinn)

Darkly fascinating, gripping and emotionally intriguing, with a conclusion I really didn't expect (Emma Haughton)
