Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

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

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)
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)
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.

Excellent listen

kept me interested from the word go.
Haven't listened to this author before but will seek out more of her books as this was a compelling listen. I was hooked from the start and couldn't put it down. One of the best books l've had this year. Great narrator too.

Delicious dark secrets

Great twists, secrets and a reminder of what we are all capable of if we have precious things to protect and we tell ourselves and others the story we and they want to hear. Great reader too - didn’t mess up the accents either.

Hooked from start to finish

It was a most absorbing story with twists and turns I couldn’t second guess. Excellent narration and I positively romped through to the end.

I was captivated throughout

I was captivated throughout, not wanting to put it down. There are unexpected twists and turns. The ending slightly disappointing. It could have been extended and made better.
