All for a Sister by Allison Pittman Review

All for a Sister by Allison Pittman

In Hollywood during the Roaring Twenties, Celeste DuFrane has it all. Her father’s work with color movie film opens doors that lead to the stardom she’s always aspired to. But after losing her mother, she discovers that half the estate has been left to a woman accused of killing Celeste’s baby sister before Celeste was even born.
Dana Lundgren arrives on the steps of the DuFrane mansion having spent most of her life imprisoned for a crime that never happened. After accusing her of murder so many years ago, why did Marguerite DuFrane leave her a sizeable inheritance? 
As Celeste and Dana learn each other’s stories, they come up with more questions than answers. Then a surprising discovery begins to fill in the missing pieces: Marguerite DuFrane’s written confession, penned shortly before her death. Uncovering the treachery and deceit that changed the course of countless lives—most of all, their own—the two women find more than they ever dreamed of.

My Review:

This was an interesting book to read. There was a lot going on from chapter to chapter. There are movie scripts, flashbacks, and Marguerite's written confession. The author did a great job with each chapter, and as I got further in the book I realized and understood the order. There were times when I wanted the confession to keep going, but it switched to present day and I had to read even faster to find out the secret of all secrets. I was so mad when there were pages missing, I could not believe who knew where they were. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review from Book Club Network Inc., however all opinions are my own.
