This weekend marks the official start of summer! I was drawn to the cover of Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth because of the image of the pool (because reading by the pool in the summer is one of the ultimate luxuries in life!). I’m also such a mood reader and this book promises to be a twisty thriller, which sounds fabulous to me right now!
Synopsis: SISTERS, SECRETS, LOVE, AND MURDER…
For as long as they can remember, Jessica, Norah, and Alicia have been told how lucky they are. As young girls they were rescued from family tragedies and raised by a loving foster mother, Miss Fairchild, on an idyllic farming estate and given an elusive second chance at a happy family life.
But their childhood wasn’t the fairy tale everyone thinks it was. Miss Fairchild had rules. Miss Fairchild could be unpredictable. And Miss Fairchild was never, ever to be crossed. In a moment of desperation, the three broke away from Miss Fairchild and thought they were free. Even though they never saw her again, she was always somewhere in the shadows of their minds. When a body is discovered under the home they grew up in, the foster sisters find themselves thrust into the spotlight as key witnesses. Or are they prime suspects?
A thrilling page-turner of sisterhood, secrets, love, and murder by New York Times bestselling author Sally Hepworth.
Do you have a go-to drink by the pool? If I’m on vacay, I might order a piña colada. If I’m home, I’ll reach for a glass of champagne. If my girlfriends are over for a pool day, then we’ll probably have some margs.
Wishing you all a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend! I hope you enjoy the sunshine, a good book, and of course a cocktail! Cheers!
