The Other Twin by Lucy V. Hay is a mystery novel that I would recommend to everyone who is looking for a page turner. Not only on the basis of loving a mystery but also for the supurb way that this is put together. I find it shocking that this is the debut novel because this manuscript not only keeps the reader engaged but is very relevant. It touches on topics of lose, it touches on LGBT topics and it brings the reader in wanting to see it through to the last page.
The plot surrounds sisters India and Poppy. Poppy returns home after almost 5 years of being away because of her sisters' untimely death even though the two girls were not in the best of terms Poppy knows there is something wrong with the way that her sister died. As the story progresses she finds a blog that her sister has written that makes the story even more suspicious. I don't want to give away too much of the story but I will say that this novel is very character driven which makes every character you come across and piece to the way that this plays out. The twists and turns that you experience while reading this will make this extremely satisfying once you get to the last page.
I have to say this is the first book this year that I can honestly say that every person regardless of gender and even age up to a point will get something out of it. 5 stars all the way\ I am grateful to Trafalgar Square Publishing Orenda Books the author and Netgalley for my copy of this book the author has definitely found a new fan with me.
