Sister is written as a long letter from one sister to another, the latter having been recently found suspiciously dead in a dirty building block on the edge of a park. I'm not giving anything away here. It's plainly written on the back of the book and as the reader we know pretty early on that one sister is no longer with us. The police believe that it was suicide, but the victim's sister believes otherwise and sets out on her own to uncover the mystery of her death. The book includes notes and questions for reading groups at the rear.
To enter our book giveaway just leave a comment on our blog. Make sure to tell us your favourite novel written in letter format. My favourite is probably We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. I'll also give an honourable mention to the classic 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff which doesn't really fit the criteria as it's a true story. Bonus entries can be earned for this giveaway. Just read the following for more information.

Thanks for the giveaway. I really want to read this one...it's been on my "list" for awhile now. I love books written in letters or diaries. My favorite is probably The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. The main character writes letters to an unknown person, and all these letters are the only things that make up the book...it's like a diary, in letter format.

Would the book "Are you there God its me Margaret?" by Judy Blume count??? Anyway, i havent read it for ages (prob 20 years!) but i still remember it. But i must say the Kevin book is now my favourite, and recommended by the most knowledgable bookie i have ever met!
