Publisher's summary

The first book in the series that has garnered millions of fans across the globe, from New York Times best-selling author Robert Dugoni. Tracy Crosswhite has spent 20 years questioning the facts surrounding her sister Sarah’s disappearance and the murder trial that followed. She doesn’t believe that Edmund House - a convicted rapist and the man condemned for Sarah’s murder- is the guilty party.

Motivated by the opportunity to obtain real justice, Tracy became a homicide detective with the Seattle PD and dedicated her life to tracking down killers. When Sarah’s remains are finally discovered near their hometown in the northern Cascade mountains of Washington State, Tracy is determined to get the answers she’s been seeking.

As she searches for the real killer, she unearths dark, long-kept secrets that will forever change her relationship to her past - and open the door to deadly danger.

Critic reviews

“Dugoni does a superior job of positioning [the plot elements] for maximum impact, especially in a climactic scene set in an abandoned mine during a blizzard - which is melodramatic but nevertheless effective.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Combines the best of a police procedural with a legal thriller, and the end result is outstanding...Dugoni continues to deliver emotional and gut-wrenching, character-driven suspense stories that will resonate with any fan of the thriller genre.” (Library Journal)

“Yes, a conspiracy is revealed, but it’s an unexpected one, as moving as it is startling...The ending is violent, suspenseful, even touching. A nice surprise for thriller fans.” (Booklist, starred review)

Not my favorite.

This book was ok. For some reason, the story did not hold my attention. I guess it just was not exciting enough for me.

eh

the writing is a little cliche. i don't buy the main characters marriage ended so easily. the biggest thrills happened at the end, the rest was a bit lackluster

great book

excellent and engaging read. well crafted plot, I cannot wait to dive into the rest of the series.

Easy listen!

Wild there weren't too many plot twists you didn't see coming, the book certainly held my attention and kept me entertained from start to finish.

Nice Change But Predictable

I usually listen to Sci-fi but this was a nice change even though predictable. Narration was good.

Good book with nice finish.

Clever Plot Twist

This was a fun read with a clever plot twist. A little predictable... but enjoyable!

Keeps You Intetested

What made the experience of listening to My Sister's Grave the most enjoyable?

I liked that you really just had to keep guessing. I did not feel that it was at all predictable. The ending was not to be expected at all and there were a few twists right up until the end.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes for the most part. Kept you engaged

Have you listened to any of Emily Sutton-Smith’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. I’m actually starting to notice when she’s a narrator on a book then I always listen to the sample to see if the story seems like something I would like. This one was as good as anything she’s done.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Don’t think you have it figured out.

Great book!

The book was excellent, the narrator did a very good job with the various characters. Loved all the twists and turns.
