Tasha is happily married to her childhood sweetheart Aaron, but feels things have gone a bit stale since their twin girls were born so, when her successful, career driven sister, Alice suggests that she and husband Kyle could come and look after the twins for a week while Tasha and Aaron enjoy a well earned break in Alice and Kyle's Venetian apartment, Tasha jumps at the chance. Just a few days into their holiday she receives a call from home to say Alice and Kyle have been attacked following a break in at their home, Kyle is dead and Alice is in hospital, so they return home immediately. Thinking it was a routine burglary gone wrong they begin to come to terms with what happened, then Tasha receives a note through the letterbox saying ' it was supposed to be you!' She has no idea why someone would target her but the events that follow leave the sisters questioning everything that's happened.

The Wrong Sister is the latest thriller by this author, it's a multi perspective and dual timeline story which hits the ground running from the first page. This story is so well crafted, with complex characters who all seemed to have something to hide, and lots of red herrings thrown into the mix, I really had no clue at all where it was heading, changing my mind countless times as to who was responsible, though I did eventually guess who the perpetrator was further down the line. In true Douglas style this is a fast paced, suspense filled read with twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat and flicking the pages of my kindle like there was no tomorrow. As I've said with her previous books, she is an author whose books I don't even read the blurb, because I just know I'm going to love them and once again she smashed this one out of the park!

I'd like to thank Michael Joseph, Penguin Random House and Netgalley for the approval, I will post my review on Amazon and Goodreads.

A page turner with plenty of twists to keep you guessing.
A solid 4 star read - couldn't give full marks as I felt there were a few loose ends.
With thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc ebook.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book.
This was another good read from this author. This is the third book I have read from this author and I can't wait to read more. The twists in this one were fantastic and the suspense was building right from the start. I had no idea where it was going although I did figure out one twist. Well worth your time to read this one! Fantastic! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A great read with fabulous characters and it's fair share of twists the story is well constructed and flows easily. A great holiday read.

This is a brilliant thriller that will have you racing through the pages.
Tasha and Aaron have twin girls and life is hectic. Her sister Alice is a successful scientist and has become very wealthy.
Alice knows that Tasha needs a break and offers them a break in her apartment in Venice to celebrate their anniversary. Her husband Kyle is happy to help Alice look after the twins while Tasha and Aaron are away, so it all seems like a great idea.
Tragedy soon strikes when Alice is woken at night by a noise and Kyle goes to investigate. Tasha rushes back home and is shocked to find out that Kyle has been killed.
The rest of the story is about Alice, Tasha and their Mum trying to work out who the killer was as well as trying to find out what happened to their other sister.
This is a gripping thriller with a few twists and turns in store.
Highly recommended.
Thanks to Michael Joseph and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

Claire Douglas is a new author for me and this is a fantastic book. The relationships between the characters were brilliantly portrayed which meant that twists and turns (of which there were many) were often completely unexpected. Fast paced, suspenseful, compelling and utterly gripping. I loved it.

I love Claire Douglas and The Wrong Sister did not disappoint!

Tasha and Alice, two sisters who like alike but are very different. When Alice gives Tasha and husband Aaron a chance to life swap for a week, in their apartment in Venice, a great chance to reunite their love for each other and have a break from their twins. Alice & her husband Kyle stay in Bristol looking after Alice’s twin nieces.

The break is amazing, but then one morning Aaron gets a call from his mum, there’s been an incident at home, Alice & Kyle have been attacked.

The twists and turns of this story are amazing, you think you have it worked out and then another huge plot twist comes that keeps you totally gripped, highly recommend and also check out others by Claire Douglas - although I think this is her best yet!

#TheWrongSister #NetGalley Exhilarating rollercoaster ride through a tangled web of deceit and secrets that keep you turning the pages from start to finish. There are unexpected twists and turns, this book earns a soIid 5 stars ⭐️. As the plot unfolds you’ll find yourself guessing at the true intentions of each character only to be blindsided by shocking revelations that you didn’t see coming. This book keeps you guessing until the end, when you think you have everything figured out another curve ball comes your way leaving you scrambling to piece together the truth.

You have to love a Claire Douglas book and this was no exception.

It twists and turns and keeps you gripped.

A great read

Brilliant twisty turny read
Sisters would do anything for each other? wouldn't they? No secret is too big to keep, or is it.?
Great unusual plot

This is the first Claire Douglas novel that I have read and it certainly won’t be the last! I’ve heard a lot about this author from friends and I was thrilled to get my hands on The Wrong Sister as an advance copy.

The Wrong Sister is a twisty thriller, full of misdirection, intertwined stories and guessing games.
Tasha and Alice are sisters living very different lives. Tasha and husband Aaron live in Chew Norton with their twin girls, Alice and Kyle live in London, a lavish lifestyle with a holiday villa in Venice.

But there’s a twist, Alice and Tasha also has another sister, Holly, who disappeared without a trace as a baby. Her story comes almost full circle in a shock twist.

I really enjoyed this book, I love working it out and I did get some of the missing links but others surprised me! A great read and lots of red herrings to keep the reader guessing!

The Wrong Sister is yet another brilliant release from Claire Douglas. In this novel, Tasha and her husband Aaron are off to stay in her sister Alice's holiday home in Venice for a short break. Whilst they're away, Alice and her husband Kyle are attacked.As if that isn't awful enough, once they're back home Tasha receives a chilling note telling her 'it should have been you'....!

We get inside the heads of both Alice and Tasha in the aftermath of the attack, as well as their mum Jeanette's, but we mostly stay with Tasha as she grapples with guilt – the attack happened in her house, and perhaps it was even intended for her? – while trying to work out who was behind it all. Shocking family secrets are uncovered along the way!

The twists and surprises keep things intriguing – I love a book that masters misdirection and The Wrong Sister certainly manages that! The ending delivers surprises, while a few threads remain loose, which might not sit well with readers who prefer complete closure. Overall, it's a fast-paced, gripping, and very entertaining read!

A joy of a book that starts slowly with two sisters, Tasha and Alice, Both have ended up with completely different lifestyles. Alice is married to Kyle, well off and have a holiday home in Venice. Tasha is married to Aaron and live with their twin daughters in a small terraced house.

The action really starts with Tash and husband flying to Venice to celebrate an anniversary.. Here they encounter a strange sort of stalker, but little happens in Italy as Tash rushes home as Alice has been attacked, and Kyle is dead. Is this in any way connected to the Venice danger?

From hereon the book introduces more characters as Ms Douglas keeps the twists coming with a dramatic ending!

Apart from any solution to the Italy storyline, the whole book is very enjoyable. The possible third sister scenario also kept me longing to finish the book.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I enjoyed this book and the way the two stories tied together but I felt like there were a few loose ends, especially relating to the Italy trip.

I read this on holiday and loved it. Tasha is married to Aaron and has twin daughters. Life is not easy for them and Tasha’s sister, Alice, offers a house swap. Tasha and Aaron can go to Alice and Kyle’s house in Venice and they in turn will stay and look after the twins. Tasha and Aaron’s marriage although stable, since the twins were born, they had lost touch. They looked forward to the break although Tasha was apprehensive leaving the girls but trusted Alice and Kyle. While in Venice a couple of strange things happen which makes Tasha jumpy. She thinks they are being followed at one point and wondered if it was her sister they were after as she was wearing her sister’s clothes. The person muttered something in Italian which they did not understand but sounded sinister. Then the real drama begins. After a couple of days in Venice they get a phone call to go home. Kyle has ben brutally murdered and her sister, Alice, is in intensive care with a horrific head wound. Luckily Aaron’s mom is on hand to look after the children. The story takes on a pace of its own very quickly from now. Sightings on a person in the woods looking at the house, a note through the door saying the wrong sister was injured, all very creepy. Just when you think you have a handle on what is going on and who did what something happens to make you realise, no you have the wrong person. Everyone has secrets and eventually they come out and when they do what will you do about it

Yet another fantastic read from Claire Douglas. The characters come alive and the story is really well written, moving at a great pace and the twists just keep coming at you. A joy to read from start to finish. Would totally recommend if you enjoy a fast paced mystery. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me access to an early copy of this novel.

Sisters Alice and Tasha, look alike but live very different lifestyle. Alice and her new husband Kyle have a big London house and a luxury apartment in Venice while Tasha and Aaron with their young twin girls are live in a small house in the Cotswold. Alice suggests they do a life swap for a week while her and Kyle look after the girls so Tasha and Aaron can have a well deserved break in Venice. Their mother, Jeanette, has moved to France three years earlier after her husband died. She also left to escape painful memories of her first daughter, Holly, who disappeared thirty years before when only four months old. This is very much part of the plot as might be expected.

All goes well initially although at the end of their first day in Venice Tasha and Aaron have an alarming incident in Venice. This is never explained in the novel so was a little confusing.

The day thing Tasha gets a call to say Kyle has been murdered and Alice is in hospital. They dash back to England and there are many more dramas in the coming days as everyone tried to find who killed Kyle and if they are coming back to kill Alice or Tasha as a note indicates that ‘the wrong sister’ was targeted.

I enjoyed this book very much and was eager to turn the pages to get to the end. There were a few things that I found odd though such as Tasha not making persistent attempts to contact Jeanette in France. It seems like she tried only twice a day for a couple of days. Also the lack of information that Alice knew about her husband’s family with it being passed off as ‘he never mentioned’.

With thanks to NetGalley and Michael Joseph for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Another fantastic book by Claire Douglas!

From the start, I thought I'd guess what was going on but I was far from figuring it all out! It's full of twists and turns, constantly second-guessing the suspected killer.

Highly recommend!

Another fabulous read from Claire Douglas. This author pulls the reader in to the story in the first few pages. Fast paced read with lots of mystery and twists to keep the reader guessing. Tasha and Alice are sisters, both leading very different lives. Alice and her husband have come to stay in Tasha’s home for a week, they will be looking after Tasha’s twin girls, while Tasha and her husband go and spend a week in Venice, in Alice’s holiday apartment, for some quality time together. Things go wrong for both couples a few days in, Tasha and her husband are followed an evening when they take a wrong turn, the man has a knife, this puts them on edge. Then they receive bad news from home, an intruder broke in to their home, Alice has a head injury and is in hospital, sadly her husband Kyle died from a fatal blow, thankfully the twins are unscathed. A few days later Tasha receives an anonymous note saying , “it should have been you”. What is going on and are the incidents related?
In the background there is another story going on, the girls had another sister who was abducted from her pram 30 years ago when their mother left her outside in her pram whilst she went into the grocery store. This story also unfolds and is intertwined as the girls deal with Kyle’s death and the mysteries surrounding that. The two stories come together very clevery. Sisters will always be sisters.
Many thanks to Net Galley and Michael Joseph, Penguin Random House for an ARC of this book in exchange for a review.

Tash’s childhood was shaped by the disappearance of her baby sister. Years later, Tash’s older sister, Alice, offers Tash and her husband the use of her luxury apartment in Venice for their anniversary while Alice stays in their home to look after the children. While Tash is in Venice they are followed and Alice and her husband are attacked in Tash’s home. This was an excellent, fast-paced thriller with lots of twists and turns. There were lots of strands to the plot that kept me guessing to the end.
