About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The Sunday Times bestseller

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 phonecall 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?

Critic reviews

I raced through The Wrong Sister - it’s such a masterclass in building tension from the dream Venice break at the start to the nightmare it becomes. The solution to the mystery is so clever I was nowhere near guessing it! I loved it. (HARRIET TYCE)
The Wrong Sister is Claire Douglas at her finest - page-turning, compelling and utterly addictive. I couldn't put it down! (LUCY CLARKE)
This is a book that won’t leave you be. It’s a brilliant jigsaw of suspicious characters, grisly deeds, and family tragedy - and Douglas only lets you see the full picture on the very last page. (ABIGAIL DEAN)
A triumph of masterful misdirection and intricate plotting. It keeps you guessing from the first page to the last and it's Claire Douglas's best book yet. If you love a Christie-esque mystery that keeps you guessing, The Wrong Sister definitely won't disappoint (C.L. TAYLOR)
What an excellent thriller. The plot was both full of unexpected twists and still completely plausible, the characters were brilliantly drawn, and the writing was great. Claire Douglas keeps getting better and better (LOUISE O'NEILL)

Decent enough, guessed the ending early on though

Not the author’s best work as previous books have been a bit harder to guess, but it’s well plotted and written. Good performance too

Enjoyable enough but a tad predictable

Claire Douglas's "The Wrong Sister" is a psychological thriller that offers a suspenseful ride, but ultimately falls short due to its predictable ending.

The story revolves around two sisters, who, despite their physical resemblance, lead vastly different lives. When a tragedy strikes, secrets unravel, and the lines between truth and deception blur.

Douglas skillfully builds tension throughout the narrative, keeping readers hooked with twists and turns. However, the resolution feels too neatly tied up, lacking the shock factor expected from a psychological thriller.

Despite its shortcomings, "The Wrong Sister" still offers an engaging read, making it suitable for fans of the genre looking for a quick, albeit predictable, escape.
