Seven Sisters Paperback – January 4, 2023

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 147 ratings

Men get away with murder all the time. Now it's our turn ... A twisty, intriguing crime novel for fans of The Mother and The Family Doctor.
Naomi started grief counselling prepared to run for cover as soon as her therapist, Mia, pulled out a crystal or tried to align her chakras.

When Mia suggests that she join a support group, Naomi is sceptical: how could she begin to describe what it felt like to lose her sister, Jo? How could she possibly share her loss and rage to a room full of people? How could she express her helplessness that Jo's killer walks free on a suspended sentence?

And how could she share her deepest desire to see Jo's killer dead by her hand?

In the group sessions, Naomi finds that her experiences and her anger are shared between the other members: Gabrielle, Brooke, Katy, Olivia and Amy. Under the enigmatic leadership of Mia, a plan begins to take shape.

I'll kill yours if you kill mine ...

Seven Sisters is a compelling, morally ambiguous psychological thriller where Patricia Highsmith meets Alex Michaelides.

'An intense, page-turning psychological thriller that ... grips the reader with two-handed fury. Perfect for fans of Patricia Highsmith, Candice Fox and Jacqueline Bublitz,
Seven Sisters will have you questioning your idea of justice and how far you would go to help others -- including taking an eye for an eye.' Books + Publishing

Naomi’s sister Jo was killed by her rugby player partner Malik, when she tried to leave the abusive relationship. Despite reporting Malik to the police several times for domestic abuse before she tried to leave him, he managed to convince the jury at his trial that he accidently stabbed her and was given a suspended sentence. To cope with not being able to get justice for her sister, Naomi had tried seeing several grief therapists before finding Mia and agreeing to try her group therapy sessions. She’s reluctant at first, but soon discovers that like her all the women in the group have lost a sister to domestic violence and been let down by the justice system. Not only are these women angry at the lack of justice for their sisters’ killings but they are also ready to seek revenge.

How they plan to get their revenge and get away with it makes for an entertaining and suspenseful read, especially as they all come up with inventive ideas while trying to avoid being noticed, particularly by one very dedicated detective.

This definitely had me hooked! The first few chapters had me second guessing as it was starting to feel like the therapy group was actually a cult, but then we get to the action & it’s all on. I thought this was a great revenge story - the sisters of women who have been killed by their domestic partners give karma a helping hand. This was an easy story to just keep reading - once I was in, I had to know how each sister was avenged and if they got away with it. I thought this was a well written story, and I enjoyed seeing how they took their revenge.

4.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying revenge
Reviewed in Australia on January 7, 2023
Inspired by the Hitchcock movie Strangers on a Train, a therapist specialising in female trauma counselling chooses six of her clients to form a group. Each woman had a sister who died at the hand of a violent man. In the movie, intending killers swapped victims to throw the police off the scent and that is what the women do. Given the woeful statistics of how many women die from domestic violence, how few perpetrators receive serious sentences and moreover, how many women who finally kill their abusers are then jailed for man slaughter or murder, this story will appeal to many stung by the injustice. It gets off to an unremarkable start but starts to flow more grippingly after the first act of revenge - or should we say, retributive justice, or a cleanup act to restore safety? A female detective who has dealt with many a DV killing gets an itch as a series of fatal accidents befall men the world is better off without. Kovacic leaves the ending ambiguous when this detective spots the six women going into the Seven Sisters counselling practice. Is it her bounden duty to bring them to justice or is she sick enough of the lack of action on this issue to let it ride?
