Thank you NetGalley and Harper Perennial Paperbacks for the eARC.
Wow, what a great psychological novel, I couldn't stop reading it, it was so tense and suspenseful.
The love of two sisters for each other, even though one feels not quite good enough compared to the other, plays out in a shocking murder and painful upheaval for the entire family. At the very end a decision is made that's shocking but totally understandable.
Claire Douglas does it again, I love her books and can't wait for the next one! Highly recommended!

The novel centers around two compelling mysteries: the tragedy of Holly, the family's missing baby daughter, and the murder of Alice's husband, Kyle. These mysteries kept me engaged as a reader.
A recurring theme throughout the story is the lengths people will go to for the ones they love and it was fascinating to see how some of the characters interpreted this sentiment.
The ending was great and unexpectedly surprising; there were numerous possible outcomes, and the direction it took was one I didn't anticipate. I truly appreciate when a book can deliver such a twist!
Thank you NetGalley and Harper Perennial and Paperbacks for the ARC review. Having read Claire Douglas's work before, I was eager to dive into this new one.

An intriguing read for thriller lovers. This was a quick read for those that like to be thrown around the block a few times before coming home. Great audio as well.

I have never read a book by Claire Douglas until this one. This book kept me up all night reading. I had no idea what was going to happen. It was a suspenseful thriller with some good twists. I for sure recommend this book.

3.75 I hate that goodreads can't do half and .75 stars. Hate this app 😂 and that we can't give them on net.

I overall enjoyed this one. This was my first Claire Douglas book. It wasn't shocking and twisty enough for me but it was a quick read.

I really didn't like the dodgy investors part, I thought that was just too expected.

I did have my suspicions about Alice, so by the ending I was not surprised. I also suspected Viv had something to do with it but didn't think she was the sister of Bonnie's mom.

Guessing things pretty much made me not enjoy it as much as I think I would have had I not guessed it.

Thank you #Netgalley for the advanced copy!

This thriller started with a slow simmer, building the character profiles, first with Tasha and her husband Aaron, then her sister Alice and husband Kyle. We learn about their dynamics, family history along with a family mystery of an abducted sister. When tragedy strikes in Tasha's home, the story strives to unsolve the mystery while intertwining additional characters and connections to the gamily. I did enjoy all the twists and turns, I look forward to reading more of this authors mysteries.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for this e-arc! This book was such a quick read, I became really engaged with the characters and kept wanting to see where the story was heading.

This book actually kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time. I didn’t trust anyone and I love that for me.

Thank you for the e-arc NetGalley.

I whipped right through this thriller. As a mom of twins I connected right away with the sister that is a mom of young children.

The sisters in this book come from a family that experienced an abduction of their third sister early in their lives.

Now in their 30s they decide to do a mini life swap for a week so that Tasha and her husband can reconnect while Alice and her new husband watch the twins. But of course that doesn’t go to plan.

Really enjoyed this one but did figure out the twist. The author left enough clues but I like that.

I loved this book! The being was a bit slow, but I eventually caught on to the cheaters and the timeline and did not want to put it down until I figured out what was going on and who did what! Such a great book and very well written!

Hey hey my favorites 😀💚 #annieethebookiee is back with another review, and I couldn’t wait to share my thoughts on The wrong sister! This book is a true gem that grabbed me from the start and kept me hooked until the very last page. The author’s writing style is so engaging, and the way they bring the characters and story to life is simply unforgettable.

The plot is full of surprises, and just when I thought I had everything figured out, I was hit with a twist that left me speechless. The themes are so well-crafted, and the emotional depth really resonated with me throughout the book. Whether it’s a heartwarming journey, a thrilling adventure, or a thought-provoking story, this book has it all.

If you're looking for a book that will keep you turning pages and thinking long after you finish, The Wrong sister is definitely one you don’t want to miss!

The Wrong Sister is a domestic thriller that follows twin sisters. It's very formulated in terms of the genre, but the writing excellent and the characters had depth to them. While it was predictable in some ways, I still enjoyed my time reading this. If you like twisty, thrillers that are quick to read you should pick this one up!

wow i liked this book so much the pacing was really good. the dual mysteries. the story is about two sister one who is seemingly perfect,and the other is a bit of a mystery.i like how the characters are well drawn out. the twist and turns in the story were really good. lots of zub plots but didn,t take away from the story.

4.5/5⭐️
First - thank you to NetGalley & HarperCollins Publishers Inc. for providing me with an uncorrected e-proof of The Wrong Sister by Claire Douglas in exchange for an honest review.

NOW -

The Wrong Sister is about secrets, betrayal, tragedy & asks the question “How well do you really know your family?” After all, we’re all hiding something aren’t we?
And in this book - certainly EVERYONE is hiding something!
When Tasha & her husband do a “life swap” with her sister Alice & her husband Kyle, taking flight to their Venetian apartment, Tasha can’t wait to rekindle the spark in her lackluster marriage. But only a couple days into their romantic getaway, Tasha & her husband are called back home to the UK with news that after a break-in at their home, her sister is in hospital and Kyle, her sisters husband, is dead. And throughout the investigation, when the secrets begin to unravel, Tasha finds there’s much more to the people closest to her than meets the eye.
This book is a nicely paced thriller that keeps you guessing & questioning everyone! I felt the author dove into the mystery aspect relatively quickly, which I really like. But I did find there were a few “lulls” in the story where I felt I was waiting for something to happen. Despite that, I truly could not put this book down once it started going! It had me up late, formulating (INSANE) theories, and telling myself “one more chapter”! And trust me when I say, once the secrets started spilling, THEY. DIDNT. STOP!
A delightfully twisty & engaging thriller, with an ending you won’t see coming! Definitely check out The Wrong Sister by Claire Douglas!

THE WRONG SISTER is a super enjoyable read that I highly recommend for fans of thrillers and suspense novels. Family secrets abound, and there are just enough twists and turns. The multiple storylines leave you guessing and turning the pages. There are quite a few alternating POVS, which got on my nerves a little bit, but I do understand how Douglas was weaving all the storylines together. She does a great job of dropping hints, clues, and false starts. Just when you think you know who to trust, she pulls the rug out from under you. Fans of puzzle-like stories will find much to admire here.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance e-galley; all opinions in my review are 100% my own.

The Wrong Sister is your average domestic thriller. It makes for a good read when wasting time but nothing about it wowed me. The writing itself did an excellent job with world building and it was an easy suspenseful read. However I found the characters frustrating and overall found myself enjoying the book less because of that. Though not as gripping as some of Douglas’s other works, it’s still a decent choice for fans of thrillers looking for a light read.

Wow!! I am stunned and speechless with this phenomenal story!! So many twists and turns you will be left reeling..

A home invasion? A dead husband? A missing baby sister? I mean what else could you possibly ask for? Such a well woven tale of a family with lies and secrets. When the truth finally comes out in this story, (I only guessed it a few pages before it was revealed!) it was so satisfying. Such a clever twist that I did not see coming.

summary:
Another AMAZING book by Claire Douglas! I loved THE GIRLS WHO DISAPPEARED and when I saw this ARC, I was so excited to dig in. This story is about Tasha and Alice, two sisters with vastly different lives. Tasha lives with her husband, Aaron, a mechanic and their daughters in a quiet suburb, while Alice, married to business tycoon, Kyle, has a home in downtown Milan. Alice offers to “switch places” for the weekend, allowing Tasha and Aaron to experience their luxurious lifestyle while she watches their children. During this weekend though, a tragedy happens — Alice and Kyle are attacked in the home, and Kyle is murdered. Who did it? Did Kyle cross one of his investors? Did they actually mean to kill Tasha and Aaron instead? Why do both women feel like people were watching them? And does any of this have to do with Holly, their sister who was abducted twenty years prior and has never been seen again?

My description can’t even adequately describe how good this story is. There are multiple mysteries weaving in and out, leaving you guessing until the very end. Much like her other book, the resolution also isn’t simple — the author brings all of the characters together for a complicated, yet easy to understand (important for me!) finish. The story is written alternating between POV’s — from Tasha, Jeanette, their mother, and several other characters you meet along the way. There are multiple red herrings — some which end up mattering, and some which don’t, but I promise you all of these details come together at the end in such a satisfying way. Douglas also does a great job developing the characters, and bringing us into their world where we feel a part of it, and truly start questioning whose side we should be on, and who we can trust.

Again, I cannot say enough good things about this book, and I hope everyone checks it out when it releases next August! Thank you to Harper Perennial and Paperbacks for the advanced copy!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC!
This was my first book to read from this author and I liked it! I felt like some of it lagged a bit throughout and some of the story was a bit pointless but I did enjoy the twists and honestly I didn’t see that ending coming, Which for me is what makes for a good thriller! I think if the author shortened the book a little and got rid of the fluff then This would have been a 5 star read for me! This one comes out in August so put it on your TBR if you like a good thriller with a twist you don’t see coming!!!

3.5 stars. this is my first book by this author and i enjoyed the writing style. this was very tense and a fast paced thriller. there’s also a twist…!!
