About this listen
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?

Critic 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.

The story revolves around two sisters, who, despite their physical resemblance, lead vastly different lives. When a tragedy strikes, secrets unravel, and the lines between truth and deception blur.
Douglas skillfully builds tension throughout the narrative, keeping readers hooked with twists and turns. However, the resolution feels too neatly tied up, lacking the shock factor expected from a psychological thriller.
Despite its shortcomings, "The Wrong Sister" still offers an engaging read, making it suitable for fans of the genre looking for a quick, albeit predictable, escape.
Enjoyable enough but a tad predictable
