Treggiari. . . offers chills both subtle and shocking, and readers won't be able to turn the pages fast enough. --Kirkus Reviews A worthy addition to any classroom, school, or home library, is a well-developed psychological thriller filled with unexpected plot twists that will leave readers guessing right until the very end. . . . Highly recommended. --CM Magazine Dark and gripping. . . . [R]eaders will have a hard time putting the book down. --School Library Journal Treggiari's writing is excellent in the execution of this psychological thriller. The Grey Sisters is definitely perfect to elicit readers to think and wonder about many things: life, relationships, hope, family, but most of all survival and consequences. -- Resource Links There's a punk sensibility on offer here, a raw look at our society's underside. She keeps the pace of the Governor General's Award-nominated book brisk, with raging bears and shootouts, but she has also given the human sisters who go on this pilgrimage distinct -- and nuanced -- approaches to the grief they're trying to weather. --Globe and Mail I'd recommend The Grey Sisters to anyone who enjoys thrillers, strong female characters, and true crime --Midwest Book Review
