The Missing Sister: The spellbinding penultimate novel in the Seven Sisters series
From the vineyards of New Zealand to the majestic landscape of Ireland, The Missing Sister is the penultimate instalment in the multimillion-selling epic Seven Sisters from Lucinda Riley. A breathtaking story of love and loss, inspired by the mythology of the famous star constellation.
They’ll search the world to find her . . .
The six D’Aplièse sisters have each been on their own incredible journey to discover their heritage, but they still have one question left who and where is the seventh sister?
They only have one clue – an image of a star-shaped emerald ring. The search to find the missing sister will take them across the globe; from New Zealand to Canada, England, France and Ireland, uniting them all in their mission to at last complete their family.
In doing so, they will slowly unearth a story of love, strength and sacrifice that began almost one hundred years ago, as other brave young women risked everything to change the world around them . . .
The Seven Sisters series is drawn to its epic, unforgettable conclusion in The Story of Pa Salt.

Perhaps from all books in the series this one is my least favourite. It was essential, I loved historical part (as usual), but the present just annoyed me. It felt very rushed. I understand, that it could not have been easy to write a story with so many characters and moving parts - we have chapters about missing sister, we have chapters about past and at least one chapter dedicated to each sister. It felt very “cat and mouse” scenario and really did not feel any connection with Mary.

The Missing Sister, to me, would have to be the utmost best of the series so far, I loved it. I can't wait to read The Story Of Pa Salt

One of the best in this series. Lots of twists and turns. Good read.

The next instalment of Riley’s epic saga follows the sisters as they embark on a global quest to track down their missing sibling.
Uncovering secrets and unraveling long-held mysteries, each clue brings them closer to answers but ultimately raises more questions. Who was Pa Salt and what was his story? Addictive storytelling.

Very wordy when un-necessary. Abrupt ending. Didn't know there would be another book in the series. Will read reviews before I purchase last book.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Another layer of the sisters story keeping me up late, not wanting to stop until I finished. Depth of characters and history intertwined to tell a story of loss and love.

Lucinda Riley does not disappoint!! As soon as you enter the historic background of the story it is as if you are a time traveler. Looking forward to the conclusion of this amazing series.

This is the most amazing story I have ever read. I not read a series so well written.
I can't wait to get to the final book.
