Outstanding. A terrific family drama revealing how little the sisters know about each other and their own history

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.

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*

Full of twists and turns, with a relatable and all too human cast of characters. No one seeds shocking secrets into seemingly ordinary families quite like Claire Douglas. Hugely enjoyable! I loved it.
*EVE CHASE*

The Wrong Sister is quintessential Claire Douglas at her masterful best – twisty, surprising, and extraordinarily clever. I was desperate to find out what was going on and raced through it. I loved it!

Cunning, intelligent, expertly told and with twists and turns that will give readers whiplash, I think it’s destined to be one of the best thrillers of the year

Douglas has a deceptively chatty style, but she is a particularly good at twists and red herrings. She keeps the plot on the boil right to the end with a conclusion that is both gratifying and surprising.
*DAILY MAIL*

Brilliant...I was blown away by the intricate plotting, the page-turning tension and the relatability of the sisters and their wider families. And boy, do they have secrets!'

Claire Douglas has a wonderful ability to keep you turning the pages. Full of twists and plenty of tension, I couldn’t put this book down
