The Wrong Sister by Claire Douglas


Description from Goodreads:

"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 phone call 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?"

This is a complex thriller that full of tension, misdirection and great characters.

Tasha and Alice lead completely different lives but they become intertwined when disturbing and tragic events occur to them both ... coincidence?  Their mother, Jeanette, has moved to France following the death of her husband - she, and her family, have a tragic backstory and this becomes interwoven with the main story when she returns following the horrific events that have occurred.

Written at a good pace, full of tension, mystery and red herrings, The Wrong Sister is a riveting read that I thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to anyone who enjoys reading complex thrillers.

Many thanks to the author, Michael Joseph, Penguin Random House and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of The Wrong Sister.
