About this ebook
"An enthralling story of secrets, sisters, and an unsolved mystery." —Kate Morton
An evocative novel in the vein of Kate Morton and Daphne Du Maurier, in which the thrill of first love clashes with the bonds of sisterhood, and all will be tested by the dark secret at the heart of Applecote Manor.
Four sisters. One summer. A lifetime of secrets.
When fifteen-year-old Margot and her three sisters arrive at Applecote Manor in June 1959, they expect a quiet English country summer. Instead, they find their aunt and uncle still reeling from the disappearance of their daughter, Audrey, five years before. As the sisters become divided by new tensions when two handsome neighbors drop by, Margot finds herself drawn into the life Audrey left behind. When the summer takes a deadly turn, the girls must unite behind an unthinkable choice or find themselves torn apart forever.
Fifty years later, Jesse is desperate to move her family out of their London home, where signs of her widower husband’s previous wife are around every corner. Gorgeous Applecote Manor, nestled in the English countryside, seems the perfect solution. But Jesse finds herself increasingly isolated in their new sprawling home, at odds with her fifteen-year-old stepdaughter, and haunted by the strange rumors that surround the manor.
Rich with the heat and angst of love both young and old, The Wildling Sisters is a gorgeous and breathtaking journey into the bonds that unite a family and the darkest secrets of the human heart.

I received a copy of this book courtesy of NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This was one of my favorite summer reads. An endearing family drama with a “who done it?” thrown in. The book was well written with well developed characters. The story line kept my interest all the way to the end. I love the style of writing she used. The first page starts with a body being dragged outside and you are left guessing who was killed and what lead up to it. The story unfolds alternating between a family in the past and the family in the present. I enjoyed looking for the similarities between the families and seeing how they will merge in the end and solve the mystery. If you liked Three Wishes by Liane Moriarty you will enjoy The Wilding Sisters. The first page of the Three Sisters starts with triplets enjoying their birthday celebration at a restaurant. You do not know the girls names yet. Bickering ensues and one of the sisters throws a fork at another and it lands in the pregnant belly of one of the sister. The story continues alternating the point of view of the sisters and bystanders.
