“Sharp and mysterious, The Winter Sister explores the complex bonds between families, the secrets that tie people together—and those that break them apart. A haunting debut: suspenseful, atmospheric, and completely riveting.” —Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author of All the Missing Girls and The Perfect Stranger"Atmospheric and heart-rending, The Winter Sister brilliantly weaves together a gripping, suspenseful plot with a compelling character study of a grieving family. From the mysterious mother with a hidden past, to the guilt-ridden sister who now must solve her sister’s murder years ago, these characters will stay with you long after you’ve turned the final page. Wonderful!" —Wendy Walker, bestselling author of All Is Not Forgotten and Emma in the Night“Megan Collins’s compelling debut is at once a page-turning whodunit and a thoughtful examination of a family broken by tragedy. With a protagonist haunted by her sister’s unsolved murder, a less-than-happy homecoming, and the slow unraveling of decades of explosive secrets, The Winter Sister will captivate you from suspenseful start to surprising finish.” —Kathleen Barber, author of Are You Sleeping"This book had everything I love in a suspense novel: complicated family relationships, a spellbinding mystery, and enough twists to leave me reeling long after I turned the final page. I’m already recommending this book to all my fellow suspense-lovers, and I can’t wait to see what Megan Collins cooks up next!" —Rena Olsen, author of The Girl Before“The Winter Sister is a can’t-put-down debut about mothers and daughters, sisters and secrets. The myth of Demeter and Persephone thunders in the background of this suspenseful story, adding richness to its mystery. Chilling and beautifully crafted.” —Caroline Woods, author of Fräulein M. "In luminous lines aching with loss, debut novelist Collins deftly re-envisions this Greek myth of Persephone… A bewitching thriller with surprises detonating in nearly every chapter." —Kirkus Reviews"I love a good family-driven suspense novel, and this one doesn't disappoint.” —MarieClaire.com"A dark, tense, and completely absorbing debut... While full of hand-clenching suspense, the novel’s real strength comes from its study of relationships... Gripping to the last page, it’s the desperation in the connections among these characters that will stay with readers." —Booklist"With its focus on the grim-dark aspects of the female experience, The Winter Sister calls to mind works like Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects or the film The Tale. This twisty-turny story reminds the reader of the fickle nature of the truth, and that impossible things happen more often than you think." —BookPage Megan Collins holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Boston University.

Sixteen years ago, Sylvie’s sister Persephone never came home. Out too late with the boyfriend she was forbidden to see, Persephone was missing for three days before her body was found—and years later, her murder remains unsolved.
In the present day, Sylvie returns home to care for her estranged mother, Annie, as she undergoes treatment for cancer. Prone to unexplained “Dark Days” even before Persephone’s death, Annie’s once-close bond with Sylvie dissolved in the weeks after their loss, making for an uncomfortable reunion all these years later. Worse, Persephone’s former boyfriend, Ben, is now a nurse at the cancer center where Annie is being treated. Sylvie’s always believed Ben was responsible for the murder—but she carries her own guilt about that night, guilt that traps her in the past while the world goes on around her.
As she navigates the complicated relationship with her mother, Sylvie begins to uncover the secrets that fill their house—and what really happened the night Persephone died. As it turns out, the truth will set you free, once you can bear to look at it.
The Winter Sister is a mesmerizing portrayal of the complex bond between sisters, between mothers and daughters alike, and forces us to ask ourselves—how well do we know the people we love most?
Beautifully written page turner I absolutely loved The Winter Sister and only put it down begrudgingly. A compelling reimagining of the myth of Persephone and Demeter is the foundation of the novel, yet the plot is pure suspense. The characters, especially Sylvie, are fleshed out. And it might be the language itself, poetic and beautiful, that is the most impressive thing about this novel. This is an incredibly promising debut novel.A exciting and haunting mystery THE WINTER SISTER, by Megan Collins, reveals Sylvie, a young woman who still haunted by the murder of her sister, Persephone. Sylvie escaped her hometown and her family and her heavy memories, only to be dragged back when her dying mother suddenly needs a caretaker. The more Sylvie is home and the more people she finds from her past, the more she believes that his sister's murder did not happen the way she thought it had. There is a lot of clearly connectable imagery in THE WINTER SISTER. Collins does a good job of connecting images to emotions and then describing those visceral reactions characters have to certain images, as many people do in real life. Collins keeps the characters real; they all possess strengths and weaknesses and make good and bad choices. A fascinating approach to portraying the murdered sister, Persephone, is that the reader's perception of her vacillates from beautiful and pure, to dark and damaged and everywhere in between. It's a rollercoaster of a ride, with it ending somewhere in the middle, but I found it uniquely enjoyable. The plot progresses nicely and gains momentum, but he ending is fairly predictable and once the big reveal happens, there really isn't any more twists and turn, it just feels like going through the motions to finish the book. I read THE WINTER SISTER quickly and I think reading this book fast is best because the emotionally heightened feelings don't have a chance to whither away. I found the book a haunting and enjoyable mystery to check out. Thank you to Touchstone/Atria Books, Megan Collins, and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!A Great Ride! This book was hard to put down.From the first sentence, I was hooked! It kept me thinking, trying to figure out before turning the page, what would happen next, and who was responsible. I'm a slow reader, and finished the book in three days. Honestly, I wished there was more!
