The Wrong Sister by Claire Douglas is an amazing, fast-paced thriller that kept me guessing the whole way through.
When Tasha and her husband, Aaron, get away for a few days, she leaves her sister Alice and her husband Kyle in charge of her twin girls. However, one night, there is a break-in, leading to devastation. Kyle is murder and Alice is attacked whilst the girls are asleep upstairs. When Tasha and Aaron rush home, they discover a note saying they got the wrong sister. Was Tasha the real target?
I read this during a Tandem Collective Readalong and really had to control myself by not reading ahead of the allocated pages per day. This book had it all, in my eyes: the perfect page-turner, with lots of unexpected twists and turns, as well as family drama thrown in for good measure. The characters were well developed with an air of mystery surrounding them all so that you were never quite sure of their innocence. The only one I felt I could truly trust was Tasha.
I really enjoyed the backstory of Tasha's younger sister, who had been abducted as a baby. The pain and emotions were still very raw, surrounding this heartbreaking disappearance. You got a real sense that as the story developed, it would become clear what had happened to Holly all those years ago. Could the two stories even be related somehow?
Living in Somerset, I really appreciated the setting of Chew Norton and could really picture Tasha's house and the village. There was so much to love about The Wrong Sister that I am now sourcing other books from the same author that I haven't already read. I highly recommend this twisty family thriller. All the stars from me
