A Letter from Shalini
Thank you for reading my sixth psychological thriller The Silent Sister. I hope you enjoyed reading Lizzy’s story as much as I enjoyed writing it. The story is set in Malmesbury where my mum used to own a lovely little clothes and gift shop, and where I had a Saturday job and worked during the holidays. Luckily, I didn’t have a psycho stalker or a shop-lifting co-worker!
If you would like to keep up to date with my latest releases, just sign up here and I’ll let you know when I have a new book coming out.
I’m always grateful to get feedback about my books, so if you enjoyed my novel, I’d love it if you could post a short review online or tell your friends about it. Your reviews can also help new readers to discover one of my books for the first time.
When I’m not busy making up conversations with fictional characters, I adore chatting to my real-life readers, so please feel free to get in touch via my Facebook page, through Twitter, Goodreads or my website.
