The Missing Sister Lucinda Riley 4.19 39,589 ratings2,420 reviews Want to read Kindle 9. Lucinda touched the lives of all those she met, and those who turned the pages of her stories. "During those four years, Lucinda penned five novels, and this week, The Missing Sister is number one in book charts across the world. We realise that this will be a terrible shock for most people, who won’t have been aware that Lucinda had been battling cancer for four years." Riley’s family said in a statement: “To Lucinda’s friends and readers around the world, we are so sorry to have to tell you that Lucinda died peacefully this morning, surrounded by her family, who were so important to her. Lucinda had an enormous capacity for fun, friendship and love and I was honoured to call her a friend." Popular fiction is often looked down on but when authors like Lucinda break through and strike an emotional chord with their readers that really is the joy of publishing. Jeremy Trevathan, of Pan Macmillan’s adult publishing division told The Bookseller: “It’s been an immense and very rare privilege to work with Lucinda. The seven sisters of the myth were Maia, Alcyone, Asterope, Celaeno, Taygete, Electra, and Merope. Originally trained as an actress, she penned her first novel aged 23, and went on to publish more than 20 novels. The publication of the eighth book sadly follows Lucinda Riley’s death in 2021, so the forthcoming eighth book will be based on Lucinda’s draft and completed by her son Harry Whittaker. ![]()
