The Sea Sisters is a complicated read set in the charming town of Morranez in Britanny where twenty-five years ago a small child disappeared during the Morvarc’h Festival, an annual event that drew people from all walks of life to the coastal town.

Nicole Stevenson, a young woman in failing health believes she is the missing child based on documents and pictures found after her father death. She has come to Morranez to see if she can discover if this is true and enlists the Toussaint Agency, an agency who specialize in missing persons, to help her in her search.

Mila Shepherd, Carter Jackson and Ceci, Mila’s stepmother, make up the team of Toussaint’s, and once they make the decision to take on the case, they realize it is going to be far more challenging that just trying to discover what really did happen twenty-five years ago.

As they dig into the past Mila begins to wonder if the drowning death of her sister Sophie, the murder of Charlie her husband, the abduction of Evie Albert and the closed community, Holywell, presided over by Augustine Golliard are all connected.

Can a decades old mystery be solved to help Nicole find some sort of peace in her life and will the results of whatever is uncovered help Mila come to terms with the death of her beloved sister.

Emotional, confusing, and complex the plot line has similarities to the case of Madelaine McCann in 2007, in Portugal, which still remains unsolved, and from this perspective is an interesting read, if a somewhat slow burn at times.
