Book 2 in the Whitmore sisters story and wow what a tense and fast paced mystery following four sisters Hannah, Elise, Margot, Sophie who return home when their dad dies for a inheritance but they found he made a system which he built and they each receive a parcel and they work together to uncover what he had built. As they dig deeper they realise someone else wants it to control what is in the system

This had me hooked from the first page and could not wait to see the outcome so many twists and tense situations which kept me wanting to carry on reading and I finished the story in 2 days.

Would highly recommend for a adrenaline read.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Got to pay close attention while reading this book, and it's well worth it! This is a fast-paced, complex, dynamic story. I am an avid reader and this premise is like no other I have ever seen. The characters are so extremely well-developed that you feel as if you know them and are right next to them. I am so grateful to have received a free copy of this book via Booksprout in exchange for my original review. If you are looking for something original that will keep your attention like no other, you must read this book. I will definitely be watching this author-Good Stuff!!

Book two in the Whitmore Series. It continues following what happens next with Sophie, Hannah, Elise and Margot and (no spoilers) wow what a roller coaster of a story. I was completely surprised at on more than one twist in the story line when one of the sisters made a decision I really didn’t think she would. I love the way Clarise writes and how the story just flows and you just want to keep reading the next page the next chapter. Highly recommend you add this series to your TBR list

The System (The Whitmore Series Book 2), the follow-up book to Sister's Trip: A Gripping Psychological Thriller (The Whitmore Series Book 1), my eighth domestic thriller read from author Clarise Foster. A 439-page domestic thriller. “I received a complementary Kindle copy of this book & am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. I look forward to reading more from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

The System pulled me in fast and kept me hooked the whole way through. Clarise Foster has a way of making you uncomfortable in the best possible way, and this story had me constantly wondering what was coming next. The tension kept building with every chapter, and I flew through it because I just had to know how it would all play out. Dark, unsettling, and seriously addictive.

A unhinged father both before and after his death leaves behind a deadly secret that brings his daughters back together to uncover a dangerous secret system. A complete mind twister with jaw-dropping unexpected discoveries that shakes the sister's to the core. If you like being kept in suspense from the beginning till the very end you should give this one a try.

After their father died the four sisters are given instructions. They believed it was for an inheritance. Their father built a system and was leading them through it. Told to head to their childhood home, someone is following them. A psychological thriller.

This is the second book in the Whitmore series. It’s a great psychological thriller. The twists kept me engaged in the suspense and mystery. The plot is entertaining and gripping. I enjoyed it. I received an early copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review

Who controls who and who controls the system?
4 Daughters fighting to find the truth.
A haunting tale.
I struggled with the repetition in this.
Need to read the next one.

This was an ARC.
