Critic reviews

Outstanding. A terrific family drama revealing how little the sisters know about each other and their own history
An intricately plotted chiller with a shocking twist
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. (HARRIET TYCE)
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!'
The Wrong Sister is Claire Douglas at her finest - page-turning, compelling and utterly addictive. I couldn't put it down! (LUCY CLARKE)
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. (ABIGAIL DEAN)
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 (C.L. TAYLOR)
Claire Douglas has done it again with this twisty, ingenious and suspenseful tale of long-buried secrets – a real treat for psychological thriller fans (TM LOGAN)
Spine-chilling scenarios and a catalogue of twisty connections ensue. Claire Douglas layers her stories with atmospheric suspense. This is edgy, unsettling and unputdownable.
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 (LOUISE O'NEILL)

It's been a while since I've dabbled in the world of Thrillers, so thought I'd give this one a go after seeing all it's brilliant reviews.

Was I disappointed? Absolutely not.

For the first time in a while, I've been just pacing around the house not able to stop listening to it. Had dinner to it, did house hold chores while listening to it, got ready for bed, heck, even sat in bed listening to it.

Performance was brilliant, I'm normally hesitant with single person narration as I easily get confused as to who is who - not here. Very well done.
