Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The Sunday Times bestseller

Tasha has always felt in the shadow of her older sister, Alice. Their lifestyles couldn't be more different; Alice is married to wealthy entrepreneur Kyle and has a high-flying career, Tasha is married to her childhood sweetheart and lives in a Bristol suburb with their four-year-old twins.

When Alice realises that Tasha is struggling - with money, the kids, losing her identity - she suggests they do a lifeswap for a week. Alice and Kyle will come to stay at Tasha's terraced house to look after the twins, while Tasha and Harry spend the week in Alice and Kyle's Venice apartment.

But a few days in, it all goes terribly wrong. Tasha receives a phonecall to say Alice is in hospital and Kyle is dead after an intruder broke into their house. They think it must have been a burglary gone wrong.

Until a note arrives through the letterbox saying It was supposed to be you.

Who was there that night, and why?
Is it really Tasha they are targeting?
And can these two sisters find the answers they need, or are they about to stumble upon something more sinister?

Reviews

I raced through The Wrong Sister - it’s such a masterclass in building tension from the dream Venice break at the start to the nightmare it becomes. The solution to the mystery is so clever I was nowhere near guessing it! I loved it. The Wrong Sister is Claire Douglas at her finest - page-turning, compelling and utterly addictive. I couldn't put it down! Full of twists and turns, with a relatable and all too human cast of characters. No one seeds shocking secrets into seemingly ordinary families quite like Claire Douglas. Hugely enjoyable! I loved it. Outstanding. A terrific family drama revealing how little the sisters know about each other and their own history - I loved this twisty novel Few people do psychological thrillers as claustrophobic and as creepy as Claire Douglas Spine-chilling A chillingly atmospheric thriller Clever and terrifically compelling Devotees of domestic noir will love the multiple perspectives and shifts in time that Claire Douglas uses to complicate her nervy narrative Spine-chilling scenarios and a catalogue of twisty connections ensue. Claire Douglas layers her stories with atmospheric suspense. This is edgy, unsettling and unputdownable. Brilliant...I was blown away by the intricate plotting, the page-turning tension and the relatability of the sisters and their wider families. And boy, do they have secrets!' Cunning, intelligent, expertly told and with twists and turns that will give readers whiplash, I think it’s destined to be one of the best thrillers of the year The Wrong Sister is quintessential Claire Douglas at her masterful best – twisty, surprising, and extraordinarily clever. I was desperate to find out what was going on and raced through it. I loved it! Claire Douglas has a wonderful ability to keep you turning the pages. Full of twists and plenty of tension, I couldn’t put this book down Packed full of clever twists, secrets and suspense, this book was unputdownable. Claire Douglas knows how to write a proper page-turner that grabs you from the first page to the last. The Wrong Sister is a gripping thriller, but also a cleverly written and beautifully woven mystery guaranteed to tug at your heartstrings. I devoured this book and I loved every page Lots of twists and turns A triumph of masterful misdirection and intricate plotting. It keeps you guessing from the first page to the last and it's Claire Douglas's best book yet. If you love a Christie-esque mystery that keeps you guessing, The Wrong Sister definitely won't disappoint What an excellent thriller. The plot was both full of unexpected twists and still completely plausible, the characters were brilliantly drawn, and the writing was great. Claire Douglas keeps getting better and better An intricately plotted chiller with a shocking twist Claire Douglas has done it again with this twisty, ingenious and suspenseful tale of long-buried secrets – a real treat for psychological thriller fans This is a book that won’t leave you be. It’s a brilliant jigsaw of suspicious characters, grisly deeds, and family tragedy - and Douglas only lets you see the full picture on the very last page. Douglas has a deceptively chatty style, but she is a particularly good at twists and red herrings. She keeps the plot on the boil right to the end with a conclusion that is both gratifying and surprising. Expand reviews
