Today on the Rambling Realm, I’d love to highlight an incredible novel by debut author Paula Gleeson. Original Twin is a crossover mystery/thriller novel which will appeal to fans of Gillian Flynn, Megan Abbott, and Mary Kubica.

Pitch

It's been a year since May’s twin June disappeared, when May discovers their mother also went missing on the same date June did, she sets off to find her.

About the Author

Intrigued? Well, why not read the full plot description?

Description

Twin sisters May and June couldn’t be more different. May is quiet, self-conscious, withdrawn; June is boisterous, beautiful, magnetic…and missing.

It’s been a year since June disappeared, a year of May waiting for her to turn up with an explanation of where she’s been and why she left. But with the discovery of an old newspaper article comes a secret: Their mother once vanished, too, on the same date when she was nineteen years old.

Just like June.

This was no coincidence. June was investigating this buried family mystery, and she left May a series of clues to pick up where she left off. Now, if May wants to find June, she’ll have to retrace her footsteps through their mother’s past.

The more answers she digs up, the more questions May has. And the biggest one of all: When her sister’s trail of breadcrumbs runs out, what will she find?
