I love anything written by Claire Douglas.
This twisted tale follows a close knit family with secrets galore. I was guessing throughout who Holly really is, and I was never correct. I loved the little twist and the way the book kinds of ends on a cliffhanger… I can’t wait already what’s in store for us next from Claire.

Another page turner from this author. Set in the beautiful Chew Norton 2 sisters live worlds apart but still remain close. One Tasha married to her childhood sweetheart and Alice the high flying scientist who appears to have everything. Their mom having left for a life in France as soon as their dad died. Never recovering from the disappearance of her youngest child.
Tasha and Aaron try to rekindle their romance with a stay and Venice. Whilst Alice stays with her nieces in their home. When tragedy strikes. The plot is not even worth trying to work out as I can guarantee you would get it wrong. I can see this novel working so well as a drama series as who knows where the story will go and what the answers will be.

Another great thriller from Claire she really can’t do wrong ! I have read all of Claire’s for his day and they just seem to get better and better ! Always an instant buy for me !

As always, I was excited to read the authors next book, I was instantly hooked, this had such a good premise.
I preferred the first half of the book and loved getting to know them characters and learning about Holly.
Whilst it isn’t my favourite book by the author it is still an enjoyable read.

I started this book so many times, but it really didn't grab me. I was disappointed, because I usually very much enjoy Clare Douglas' books. For some reason, in this one, I bounced off it multiple times and wasn't able to get into it at all. Despite a hook that feels like it should have been gripping, I picked up and put this down several times over a period of about a month, but never got past the first few chapters. A DNF for me, sadly.

Fantastic book with great core characters. Recommend to friends for anyone who loves this genre of book!

Starts off good but ends in a disaster, it’s like someone else took over the writing completely?!
I guessed the twist early on.
All the characters were annoying, and their actions were just baffling.
On the plus side it is a fast paced read

Well, this was an incredible read. Not one to pick up just too close to bedtime unless you want to spend the whole night reading. A real page turner, psychological thriller. Claire Douglas knows just how to keep the reader interested. What a fantastic read.

Fantastic read....if u love lisa jewellery then you will love reading this book. Thanks netgalley for the copy.

Claire Douglas never disappoints! If you are a fan of Lisa Jewell I think you’d enjoy Claire’s writing. Domestic thriller done right!

I enjoyed the story and at the beginning it really led me in. I was on the edge of my seat with so many conspiracy theories going around and trying to work out what was going on but I did fear towards the middle It started to drag and I found that my mind was wondering and I was getting a bit bored. I stuck with it though as I felt invested however the ending felt a bit rushed and it wasn’t really much of a twist, so it was a little disappointing, but overall still a nice easy read.

The Wrong Sister is a twisty psychological thriller with several strands that all link to one another. Tasha is married with twin daughters and still lives in the town she grew up in. Her sister Alice has a successful career and a new husband. When Alice offers Tasha the chance to spend a week at her Venice home and will look after the twins the sister start a brief life swap. When things take a tragic turn, they work together to try and solve what actually happened and traumatic events from their past seem to be relevant to the mystery.
I found this book to be fast paced but also incredibly far fetched which detracted from my enjoyment. Fans of the genre will probably enjoy it.

Another fab novel from Claire Douglas . Pacy, packed with red herrings and great characters. It's only lost a star as I guessed the ending early on, but that may be down to an over familiarity with this genre. An immensely enjoyable read.

Sisters Tasha and Alice have grown up knowing they had a sister, Holly, who was snatched from her pram as a baby. Over the years they've come to terms with this, though they and their mum both think Holly could still be alive, she'd now be 30 and there's been no trace of her since.
Alice has a stellar career in genetics, a gorgeous husband, a big house in London and a holiday home in Venice. Tasha is envious, despite having two beautiful daughters and a loving husband, they have a very different, more mundane life. So when Alice convinces Tasha to use their place in Venice whilst she stays to look after the kids in the UK it's a dream holiday and a chance to rekindle the magic with her husband.
Little could they know that they are both being watched - and there's a dangerous person about to attack and alter their lives forever.
This story is told from multiple points of view, which gives insight into the characters and the pace keeps up throughout. This is one to read in just a day or two, you won't be able to put it down!

Being set around Bristol, this helps you to settle into the book: two sisters, two different paths. Tasha and Aaron stay in Alice's flat in Venice. Alice and her husband babysit the young twins. A mark on the pavement does that mean anything? An attack on Tasha and Aaron in Venice, then Kyle is killed in Tasha's house, and Alice is left seriously injured. What are the connections, so many twists and turns and a brilliant ending.

A great page turner which kept me guessing right to the end
Highly recommended !
Thankyou NetGalley for an ARC in return for an honest review

Wow this book was incredible! I am a fan of Claire Douglas and her style of writing and this book did not disappoint. The storyline and characters were fab and I could not put this book down.
Thank you to Claire Douglas and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Quite a complex character narrative, with a dark storyline. I liked how fast paced the book was, and I enjoyed the twists. A book I would definitely recommend.

“The Wrong Sister” by author Claire Douglas is a very good psychological thriller that is fast paced and delves into the dark secrets and complexities of sisterhood. Tasha has always felt overshadowed by her older sister, Alice and their contrasting lifestyles set the scene for a gripping story. Alice is married to Kyle, a wealthy entrepreneur and leads a glamorous life with a successful career. Tasha on the other hand is married to her childhood love and faces the day to day challenges of suburban life while bringing up their four-year-old twins. Living completely different lifestyles Alice feeling sorry for her sister suggests swapping places for a week, so Alice and Kyle move into Tasha’s modest terraced house, and Tasha and Harry escape to Alice and Kyle’s luxurious apartment in Venice.
While enjoying the luxurious lifestyle in Venice Tasha receives a shocking phone call informing her that Alice is in the hospital, and Kyle is dead. They appear to be the victims of a burglary gone wrong. This devastating news is followed by the receipt of a note saying, “It was supposed to be you,”.
This is a definite page turner and the tension is turned up to maximum as Tasha realises the possibility that she, not Alice, was the intended target. The questions start to build up, who was in the house that night and why would Tasha be targeted.
An intriguing plot that is well written and very compelling, making it a must read for readers of mystery thrillers.
I would like to thank both Netgalley and Penguin UK for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

This book was so good!! I couldn't put it down and lost track of time whilst reading it! There's twists in here that you just wouldn't expect and I love that in a book!
