"My Sister's Deadly Secret" (a.k.a., "The Missing Sister") is all about the special bonding between sisters. In this case, Dr. Sharon Thompson, who runs a mom and baby center, seeks to reunite with her sister Raven, who was a runaway when Sharon was five. Twenty-seven years have passed, and the film chronicles Sharon's long, circuitous journey back to her big sis.
Sharon's beau Dev Jorden pulls some strings as a city councilman to get a lead on the whereabouts of Raven. But it is clear right away that the woman is an imposter. Or, to be more accurate, it is clear to everyone but Sharon!
The savvy councilman Dev instantly spots inconsistencies in Raven's behavior. And Sharon's bestie, Jill Greenaway, recognizes that Raven has violent tendencies after getting pummeled in a kickboxing match. Jill, Sharon, and the Raven imposter were all skilled kickboxers, and the action scenes served to liven up the static scenes.
The film included a good batch of secondary characters to mitigate the slowness in Sharon in recognizing the Raven imposter for the psychopath that she was.
The opening lines of the film were about a "sister's club," the special bond of sisters, and the "empty places in the heart when something lost is found." The only problem was at the inception of the grand reunion, the Raven imposter could not recall the "pinky swear" that was the ritual performed by little Sharon and Raven when they were kids. It was at that moment that instead of inviting the sister into her home, Sharon should have cited Edgar Allan Poe by saying, "Quoth the Raven 'nevermore.'"

Quoth the Raven 'Nevermore'
Other reviews here incorrect
Two of the reviews here have incorrect content, which I've corrected here:
Sharon's friend who worked at the hospital wasn't a doctor - she worked in one of the offices there as an accountant or bookkeeper. Furthermore, she's not too young to be a doctor. If Sharon at age 32 isn't too young to be one, then neither is her friend.
Another review said the sister couldn't have survived til the end of the movie - meaning after the impostor had tried to kill her and left her for dead. As the detective (Dev's cousin) told Sharon and Dev at the end of the movie as they walked to the real Raven's hospital room, a hiker found her in the ravine at the bottom of the hill two days after Sharon and Dev had driven to Raven's house to meet her and met the impostor. He told them that she had almost starved to death and had broken leg, ribs, etc., and would've died if the hiker hadn't found her when he did.
As for the movie itself - yet another unrealistic unbelievable 'Psycho Villain vs. Lifetime Good Guy and Good Girl' yawn....er, yarn.
Decent movie, but unrealistic
The actress who played her doctor friend was completely unbelievable as a doctor.
