Thanks @clairedouglasauthor, @michaeljbooks & @netgalley for the twisty, immersive read

A cleverly constructed, fast-paced thrilling read!

Claire Douglas is adept at taking a normal situation and adding tension and uncertainty. The characters leapt off the page fully formed and realistic. The main setting became a clear picture in my mind too.

I loved the twisty plot, which kept me engaged trying to unravel it, thinking I was on the right lines before twisting out of my reach.

The sibling rivalry, but strong love and bonds, so well portrayed, could be true of so many families. The situations they faced were truly terrifying and as the back story was revealed, the readers empathy is drawn from them.

I have to say, there was a moment when I paused reading, to reflect on a fact that had just been revealed - what? But it made total sense.

A brilliant read, thanks Claire!

Loved the look of the plotline and so in I plunged. Halfway through and I have decided this book is just not for me. I was expecting a pacey thriller and it read as pedestrian and frankly somewhat disjointed.

Thanks to netgalley for the chance to read this book.

Tasha and Alice are sisters who look alike.

Tasha is married with twin girls whilst Alice is a scientist and is married to an equally successful businessman. Tasha’s wedding anniversary is coming up and they decide to swap their lives for a week. Tasha travels to Venice to spend the week with husband Aaron and try to rekindle their marriage whilst Alice spends the week with husband Kyle looking after Tasha’s twin girls. Tasha knows the twins will be safe.

However, she receives a call from home telling her that Kyle is dead and Alice’s in intensive care. They rush home and find not all is as it seems. Can the police piece everything together and find out what really happened?

Another fantastic read from Claire Douglas. I don't know how she manages to come up with such gripping and twisted storylines. A writer whose novels just get better and better. Bring on the next one. 4 stars

Tasha and Alice are sisters leading very different lives. They swap lives for a few days with Tasha and her husband staying in Alice holiday apartment in Venice. While Alice and her husband look after Tashas kids in Tasha’s home.

While in Venice, Tasha receives a call informing there was a burglary in her house resulting in her sister and sisters husband being attacked.

As we progress through the book it becomes clear this was no burglary and that more than one family member is keeping secrets!

I like Claire Douglas’ books and this one is no exception. It’s an easy read, fast paced and the story keeps you wanting to read on. There’s plenty of twists too, if anything maybe too many red herrings. I found it difficult to like Tasha as a main character too.

All in all, 3.5 stars from me. I was lucky enough to receive an early copy and this book is out now!

I was soon drawn in to the story but felt rather letdown by the false narrative. It seemed contrived and also the plot was repetitive. All that said I did want to get to the end and some of the reveals did come as a surprise.

Claire Douglas is just brilliant, after reading the couple at no 9 as an arc, I was excited to be approved for the wrong sister.

Brilliantly written, thrilling, I was hooked and had to know what happened. Just 1 more chapter......

Thanks to netgalley for the arc of this book in exchange for my honest review.
Definitely recommending!!!

I love Claire Douglas and will alsways preorder her books as soon as they are available! And I’m so excited for this first hardback novel! It’s a brilliant twisty tale with plenty of fun plot twists to keep the action fresh and intriguing-in fact I thought the twist here was an incredibly clever one and seamlessly followed the storyline to provide a shocking denouement. Great characters, compelling plot points and an old mystery to solve all came together to prove that Claire Douglas has become one of the UKs best psychological thriller writers. Loved it!

Although a bit bit of slow burner, it is well worth sticking with this book. Beautifully written and truly a masterpiece.

I loved The Couple at No 9, so I was so delighted to be able to read another Claire Douglas book!
It's a gripping thriller with plenty of twists and turns- just when you think you have worked out the ending, you're reminded why you are a reader and not an author and have been expertly outwitted and faced with yet another twist!
I think I liked it even more - great read!!

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this gripping novel

what a ride of a book this one was... couldnt put it down at all....

looking forward for more books by this author

I started this book, put it down and then decided to pick it back up. It kept me gripped and the twists and turns in the story and 'whodunnit' keeps you guessing to the last and did not see the final twist coming.

Does show how little we know about what goes on behind closed doors!

I've read and enjoyed a number of Ms Douglas' books, and this one was no exception.
As well as the core "whodunnit" there are a number of mysteries to be solved in this story, including the abduction of a baby. As with all her books, the author provides a number of red herrings and always stays one step ahead of this reader. Family dynamics feature heavily and are well written, my only quibble would be that the ending seemed over complex, but it was fun getting there!
Thank you to netgalley and Michael Joseph for an advance copy of this book

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.
