Amy's heart is beating wildly, the skin is sticky with sweat. "Concentrate," she says to herself.. - Do not think that in the tower. Otherwise, nothing will come of it ... "Amy bites her lip. What will people think when it does not? That she was broken, that her roof went off. (Are not all women like that, like time bombs? Especially women like her who get food in the poor dining room and put children in old rags out of proportion. ) "What went wrong?" - they whisper they will ask each other, choosing artichokes and avocados in stores. "What kind of monster was she?" - they ask themselves a question after a couple of glasses of wine, sitting in their neat parlors waiting for the meeting of the book club. Only these people do not know anything about these monsters. And they will never face the choice that Amy did..

So, right off the bat, the book "Sisters of the Night" begins - a new work by American writer Jennifer McMahon. Perhaps it was in this book, like no other, that McMahon was inspired by her childish fear: she was convinced that she was in the attic of their house a ghost. Instead of an attic, the tower becomes a symbol of fear, and instead of a ghost there is found ... However, everything in order. The novel "Sisters of the Night" unfolds in parallel in three time planes. The history of the Motel "Tower" begins in the middle of the twentieth century, when the sisters Rose and Sylvie with their mother Charlotte lived here. Sylvie dreamed of becoming an actress, but disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

Just over thirty years later Charlotte brings up little Amy, daughter Rose. Rose herself is lost somewhere; There is a rumor that she could not survive the disappearance of her sister and sinks the mountain in alcohol. With girlfriends Piper and Margo Amy exploring the motel and the tower and finding out about the loss of Sylvie more than she would like.

Already in our days, a tragedy happens in the motel: it looks like Amy brutally killed her husband and son, and then shot herself. Her daughters Lu managed to survive. Piper and Margot do not believe in this version and undertake a separate investigation. Together with her husband, Margot, a policeman, Jason Hawke, they solve a terrible secret, which for more than half a century has broken down the lives of the inhabitants of the Motel "Tower".

Of course, first of all it is a novel-horror; But here there was a place for both a psychological thriller, and a family drama, and a detective. A frightening and simultaneously addictive narrative is filled with details, convincing details, strained dialogues.

All the heroes of the novel are united by the desire to reveal all secrets and at any cost to protect loved ones from the mystical threat. The plot and mastery of performance are comparable with the works of the masters of the genre of Stephen King and Alfred Hitchcock, who, incidentally, is constantly present in the book as the addressee of the letters of young Sylvie. In the performance of McMahon, family secrets turn into deadly secrets, and internal monsters turn out to be not an eerie metaphor, but a monstrous reality.
