Another gripping psychological thriller by Claire Douglas! The Wrong Sister is a true page-turner that had me hooked from the very beginning.

The story was well paced and I found myself completely engrossed trying to piece together the puzzle of what happened. Around the 80% mark, I was convinced I had unravelled the mystery, only to discover that I had been led astray by cleverly placed red herrings! It's a testament to Claire Douglas's skill as a storyteller that she can keep readers guessing until the very end.

There's quite a few characters involved in the story but it never becomes confusing. I did find myself scrutinising each character and suspecting everyone at one point or another. This added to the tension and keep me fully invested in the drama.

I did find some of the plot twists were slightly implausible but I don't mind that so much when I'm reading a thriller. These twists and turns are essential for making a story memorable and unique, and when some characters behaved questionably, it only heightened my suspicions of everyone.

In conclusion, The Wrong Sister is an engrossing read that delivers plenty of twists, turns and suspense. If you're a fan of psychological thrillers that keep you guessing until the very end, then this is definitely a book worth adding to your reading list.

A slow start but picked up towards the middle and finished with a twist I didn’t see coming! An easy read.

This was my first Claire Douglas book and i really enjoyed it. The plot and the twists had me hooked and i really enjoyed the writing style! I will definitely be reading more of her books it was such a good read and fast paced!

An interesting idea and an easy read, but I didn’t find it as gripping as Claire Douglas’ other books - although I can’t quite put my finger on why!

A good summer read with the usual plot twists to keep the reader engaged

Brilliant book and very well written. I have read everything by this author and love her writing style. Her stories are so absorbing and so easy to read. I look forward to the next one !

Another good read from Claire Douglas. This kept you guessing until the end, even if somethings were a little predictable there were still twists and turns you didn't see coming.
It was definitely an entertaining read, highly recommend.

You agree to babysit your sister's children, thinking it will be a nice way to spend a few days with them while your sister and her husband have a break. But then, your brother in law is dead, your sister hysterical and a note appears to say whoever did this, attacked the wrong sister.. As Alice lies in intensive care, Tasha cannot think of anyone who would want to do this to her. She has to find out the truth and that means putting herself in great danger.....a rollercoaster of a read. Perfect summer holiday book!

A brilliant, twisty book which I raced through. I didn't guess where this was going at all although at times I had my suspicions. Claire always writes a great twisty novel and this one was up there with the rest. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

Not a bad psychological thriller but a little predictable. Clare Douglas's books are better than most but I think that this genre is now over saturated and it's hard to find a unique angle. All of them have the necessary red herrings and twists although this limits the twists to a couple which I'm grateful for. An entertaining read but nothing new.

Great holiday read with plenty of twists to keep you guessing. And a few red herrings to throw you off the scent.
Loved the descriptions of Venice. Well written and thought provoking ending.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and to Netgalley for providing me with this advance digital copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

A tense, gripping and twisty story full of red herrings, misdirection. It's full of suspence since the beginning and it never let you stop being on the edge or turning pages
Well plotted and intriguing story
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

A nice’n easy holiday read! I found it a little implausible at times particularly the conclusion but the pages flowed and I had no problem finishing the tale! Tasha and husband Aaron go off to Venice to stay in her sister’s luxury apartment whilst her big sister and new husband Kyle look after their twin beds daughters. There was a third sister, Holly but she disappeared without trace when she was a baby! Tasha’s house is tragically burgled whilst they are away and the troubled family history slowly begins to unravel! Not one of the best books I have ever read but I enjoyed it!

Wow awesome story, so descriptive! Love reading about Tasha and her family, Her glamorous sister Alice who seemingly has it all!
The family history, twists and turns makes this a compelling read!
Someone ends up dead, will they find the culprit? This book keeps you guessing to the very end!
I loved how it ties all the loose ends and also makes you wonder - well what happens next!

In this twisty, creepy book, we meet sisters Tasha and Alice. During a week’s “life swap”, they both have sinister encounters as Tasha and her husband are threatened while staying at Alice’s home in Venice and, back in the UK, Alice’s husband is killed in an attack at Tasha’s home. The plot thickens when it becomes clear that there may be more to the attacks than meets the eye, and that the abduction of their little sister as a baby may be involved.

While I found the middle a bit slow, there were some great red herrings. I did guess the final few twists, but it was an enjoyable read nonetheless. 3.5 rounded up to 4 stars.

My thanks to the author, NetGalley, and the publisher for the arc to review.

Claire Douglas has been firmly on my must read author lists for some time and this book did not let me down.

On the face of it this looked straight forward. Alice lives a far more glamourous life than sister, Tasha, When she sees Tasha is struggling she offers her and her husband Harry a few days away in her Venice apartment whilst she takes care of Tasha's children at home. But just a couple of days in it all goes horribly wrong when Tasha receives a call to say Alice is in hospital and her husband Kyle is dead. The twists and turns come thick and fast and I was wrongfooted at every turn. Brilliantly gripping.

An intriguing twisty mystery. Sisters Tasha and Alice have so many questions when tragic events occur. Who can they trust? Who is telling the truth? Was it planned or unintentional?
Told from different view points we learn how new information gradually comes to light and the truth begins to be revealed.
I enjoyed reading this book and devoured it in a couple of days.

I absolutely devoured this book. I managed to read this book in one day, I just didn’t want to put it down. I was hooked from page one!

Can’t wait to read more from this author.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

As expected, I loved this fast-paced thriller - it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time and was filled with twists and turns that were difficult to predict.

Claire Douglas is always a must-read for me and I am looking forward to what she writes next.

Plenty of drama and action. The story keeps you engaged throughout and has enough twists to keep you on your toes. Great summer read!

I really enjoyed the story of this book. Whilst some of it I was able to predict, it did also keep me on my toes. The ending, for me, wasn't too shocking which was a little disappointing as I love a twist at the end. But it was still very well written!
