Quinn McFarland has grown up around dead bodies…
Quinn has always joked about death, but this summer, death stops being funny. For one thing, her brother finally undergoes transplant surgery. For another, Quinn’s estranged BFF—her “blood sister”—is brought into the family mortuary, bludgeoned to death.
$17.99 – $27.99
Quinn is haunted by the past, her friendship gone awry, and the blood oath she’s sworn to keep secret. The police consider her a person of interest, and someone threatens her not to talk. Quinn is the only one who knows enough to bring the killer to justice, but what she’s buried puts her in extreme danger.
Fans of Lisa Jewell, Shari Lapena, and the Emmy Award–winning TV series, Six Feet Under, will stay up late reading BAD BLOOD SISTERS.
Wow! This book hit every single element of a fantastic mystery. Every character was developed fully. The plot and storyline were consistent. It kept you guessing. And just when you thought you had it figured out, you didn’t. Very well written! I highly recommend.
I live in Galveston in which this book is based and am an avid reader and this is one of the best books I have read in a long time. Could not put it down! Picking up two of Saralyn’s books from the library today. Can not wait to read them. Highly recommend this read. You will be rooting for Quinn throughout the entire book.
I love a book that not only keeps you guessing but also impresses with articulate style and grace. I’ve read all of the author’s works and look forward to the next!
I had one of the best days.The weather was finally warm in Chicago so I went to a park bench and finished your Bad Blood Sisters book in the sun. To say I enjoyed your book is an understatement. I loved all the turns and movements through out the book. The chatacters were so life like. It is so amazing that authors such as you can be so original in each book. I wish I had your patience!
I didn’t want to put it down. I wanted to know what was going to happen next with Quinn.
Reading this book provided an escape and filled my time with a suspenseful and well thought out book. The characters were well developed and I could see them in my mind. I wish I could have attended the party that was part of the book. Great job Saralyn Richard.
I’m a big fan of crime stories and this one does not disappoint! I enjoy when I find a book that keeps me guessing with suspense, while trying to solve the crime myself, thinking I may be right, only to find out I’m wrong. Bad Blood Sisters definitely kept me turning pages with thrilling surprises. The development of characters hit home, as well as the attention to detail.
I just loved this book. Saralyn Richard has a true gift of bringing the reader into the story. I enjoyed reading the growth of Quinn from a come-along friend to her own woman. Quinn’s relationship with her family and community is quite realistic and captivating. A great mystery that pulls you along and leaves you wanting more!
Loved this book. Couldn’t wait to find out what happened to Quinn. Definitely a page turner. I have enjoyed all of Saralyn Richard’s books. She is a gifted writer.
This is a great mystery – interesting characters, many twists and turns, and beautifully written. I couldn’t put it down!
My book club read this book and it is a page turner. In addition we had to opportunity to meet the author and hear first hand about her writing process and inspirations for this book and others. I can’t wait to read more from Saralyn!
A gripping suspense story told through the eyes of a young, female mortician!
When a murder mystery begins with the sixth word being “death”, you realize there is no time wasted in putting the reader in a side car to experience and feel part of a great story of intrigue, mystery, and romance, to boot. Self-remembrance of childhood/teen promises to keep for eternity come to life when reading this very special story. Ms. Richard made sure each word was craftly chosen for its use to assist the story’s movement. Excitement abounds from beginning to end giving continued reason to grab a copy of every book that has been written or will be written by Saralyn Richard.
Saralyn has done it again! This book grabs your attention right away and you will not be able to put it down. Great plot and character development!
The title gives away a little, but you want to keep reading to see how the characters grow. The book is an enjoyable read that will keep you turning pages.
I enjoyed entering the small world of a family mortuary set in a Texas gulf coast town. Quinn is a likeable and memorable character who had me rooting for her all the way through the book. A tender romance that lightened up the suspenseful adventures surprised me and I can only hope that this is the first book of a new series.
So glad our book club selected this book to read & discuss. We even had the opportunity to do a group Zoom call with the author. She immediately drew me into Quinn’s story & I quickly began to care about this character and how she was going to get out of the mess she was in. I always love a good crime drama that has lots of twists and turns, like “Knives Out” so you can’t easily figure out how the story is going to end. Since this was my first book by this author, I am going to have to read her other books now.
This story holds your interest from first to last page!
Another great mystery from Saralyn! The characters are so interesting and well developed. The description and details of the island make you feel as if you are there with them. The storyline keeps you guessing until the end. Could not put it down!
I could hardly put this book down!! Seriously! As always, I felt like I knew the characters. This book has everything and it grips you until the very end. Take this one on vacation with you but don’t make too many plans because you will want to read this cover to cover!
If you’re looking for tension, action, intrigue, love, and murder, then Bad Blood Sisters is the book for you. A page turner that kept me on the edge of my seat to the very end, I cheered for the heroine as she ventured into strip clubs and back alleys determined to find the truth about her Blood Sister.
Don’t plan to do much of anything else until you finish Saralyn Richard’s latest novel once you’ve started it. The irrepressible Quinn may drive you crazy, but you’ll be rooting for her all the way.
What a fun read! Saralyn Richard has created a multi-layered story in Bad Blood Sisters that delves into everything from the secrets of childhood to a young woman’s striving for independence to the funeral business, the adult entertainment business and human trafficking, and murder mysteries on top! I felt as though I was on the island with Quinn as she went about her daily routine, visited much loved restaurants, and suffered through the, at times, oppressive heat and humidity. Richard has written another dynamic mystery that I highly recommend!
Very entertaining. Kept my interest throughout. Characters are very well developed and their relationships are both clear and muddled at the same time. Thoroughly enjoy each of Ms. Richard’s mysteries!
This book was a great escape! It explores the life of Quinn and her career as a mortician. Saralyn Richard really did her research before crafting this swift read. Our book club devoured it and wanted to learn more about the main character’s life. Personally, I liked Richard’s sense of humor; carried throughout the book, even the parts dealing with death. Hats off to this excellent book and author Saralyn for her deft writing skills.
