48 Clues into the Disappearance of My Sister

When her spellbinding sister Marguerite mysteriously vanished, Georgene was left to sift through the signs, suspicions, and charlatans that would not leave her family in peace. Though Georgene initially appears to be giving an exhaustive and impartial account of the circumstances surrounding Marguerite’s disappearance, it soon becomes clear that their sisterly affection was stained by envy and animosity. Is Georgene presenting her collection of clues to solve a crime or confess to one? Oates (Night, Neon) employs exhaustive detail and an unreliable narrator to craft an eerie, atmospheric mystery. The lack of resolution enhances the unease created by the creepy, complex story line. Narrator Sarah Welborn offers a reserved, almost robotic performance. Her delivery is largely unemotional, but unsettlingly, there are moments when she fully gives rein to Georgene’s annoyance and abhorrence.
