Introduction
No one does romantic suspense better than Jayne Ann Krentz. Now, the New York Times bestselling author of Trust No One and River Road delivers a novel that twists and turns into a read that will leave you breathless.
Madeline and Daphne were once as close as sisters—until a secret tore them apart. Now it might take them to their graves.
They knew his name, the man who tried to brutally attack twelve-year-old Madeline in her grandmother's hotel. They thought they knew his fate. He wouldn't be bothering them anymore...ever. Still their lives would never be the same.
Madeline has returned to Washington after her grandmother's mysterious death. And at the old, abandoned hotel—a place she never wanted to see again—a dying man’s last words convey a warning: the secrets she and Daphne believed buried forever have been discovered.
Now, after almost two decades, Madeline and Daphne will be reunited in friendship and in fear. Unable to trust the local police, Madeline summons Jack Rayner, the hotel chain’s new security expert. Despite the secrets and mysteries that surround him, Jack is the only one she trusts...and wants.
Jack is no good at relationships but he does possess a specific skill set that includes a profoundly intimate understanding of warped and dangerous minds. With the assistance of Jack's brother, Abe, a high-tech magician, the four of them will form an uneasy alliance against a killer who will stop at nothing to hide the truth....

Discussion Questions
1.) The contrast between the two landscapes of SECRET SISTERS is a vital element of the story. How do the distinctly different settings – a Pacific Northwest Island and the Arizona desert – reflect and affect the characters’ actions and reactions?2.) Family secrets are one of the main themes of the story. How do the various secrets bond certain characters and at the same time create fault lines in the relationships?
3.) The two women at the heart of the story are anxious and uneasy about the prospect of being reunited after so many years apart. Yet when they meet they discover that the old bond between them is as strong as ever. Do you think that is because of the secret they share or because close friendships established as young adults have a special quality?
