I have read most of Claire Douglas’ books and she didn’t disappoint with this one! Sisters Natasha (Tasha) and Alice swap residences for a week - suburban neighborhood with 2 nieces and an apartment in Italy. Alice lives the glamorous, rich life with her husband, Kyle. Tasha married her high school sweetheart, Aaron, and lives a comfortable life with their 2 girls. Things take a turn and the sister’s lives turn upside down. This was a quick, suspenseful read! Thank you NetGalley and Harper Perennial for a gifted copy.

Is Claire Douglas the thriller writer I’ve been looking for?? I have not had the best luck lately with thrillers, but I really like this one. The writing and characters were solid, and the story had me flying through the pages. I’m excited to check out her other books!

A complex family tree and extensive cast of characters to keep straight, but a unique plot and some well written scenes. Overall not my favorite by Claire Douglas, but a quick read that help my attention. I appreciate the ARC and will be purchasing this for our library when it's released

The Wrong Sister by Claire Douglas is not suspense. I did not feel concerned for the safety of any of the poorly developed characters. The alternating viewpoints just didn’t work and the chapters from the unnamed character just didn’t fit.

Another enjoyable read by Claire Douglas about a family with three daughters. The youngest (only a few months old) gets abducted and is never found. 30 years later, the second daughter is feeling the strains of parenthood with her young toddler twins and takes up her sister's offer to stay at her vacation home in Venice while her sister watches the twins in her house together with her husband. This house swap, however, ends in disaster.
Good size chapters, told from various POVs. Good plot with a few twists.

An interesting plot when a "life swap" goes wrong for two look alike sisters, Alice and Tasha. Tasha and her husband Aaron have a blissful four days on their first visit to Venice during the house swap, while Alice and Kurt have a disastrous experience in Tasha's house in Bristol, England.
I enjoyed seeing how this played out and discovering the culprits behind the murders in Bristol. Nothing was predictable. The ending, however, was a surprise - a nod to the bond between sisters.
