I’ve read a few Claire Douglas books over the last couple of years and I think she’s getting better and better. Claire writes in my favourite genre – psychological thrillers. I really liked the premise for The Wrong Sister and when I started reading, I didn’t want to stop. Here’s the blurb:
You’ve known her all your life . . .
Or have you?
Tasha and sister Alice look alike, but couldn’t be more different.
Tasha’s married with kids, settled near their home town of Bristol.
While Alice travels the world with her husband. Yet each trusts the other with her life.
So when Tasha wants a break,Alice offers to stay in her home with the kids, so her sister can have a holiday. Tasha knows they’re in safe hands.
She couldn’t be more wrong.
The call sends Tasha rushing home.
Alice is in intensive care.
Her husband is dead.
The police are hunting for suspects and motives.
But Tasha can’t think why anyone would hurt her sister.
Then the note arrives, addressed to Tasha:
It was supposed to be you . . .
My review:
Some psychological thrillers are slow burners, but this isn’t one of them. It instantly reeled me in and I didn’t want to put it down. There are twists and turns everywhere and I found myself thinking I’d worked it out one minute only to be proven wrong the next. I mainly read before I go to bed and I have to say I stayed up reading this book far longer than I should have. The big reveal, when it comes, is certainly worth it. A five star read.
