Review Quote: 'Outstanding. A terrific family drama' Sunday Times
My Opinion:
As an introduction to Claire Douglas I decided to listen to 'The Wrong Sister' by Clare Douglas via my Audible Subscription.
Two sisters, Tasha and Alice who lead very different lifestyles. Tasha is married to Aaron and they have young twin daughters, in contrast her sister is a career girl with no children and a luxury lifestyle. Tasha and Aaron swap places with Alice and her husband Kyle, holidaying in the couples Venice apartment while they move into the family home to care for the twins. The unthinkable happens when Kyle is attacked and murdered in Tasha and Aaron's home. Is this tragic event connected to another one, involving the family thirty years ago though?
Well worth reading or listening to as the narrator, Eleanor Tomlinson, successfully brings the characters to life in this fast paced story.

She couldn’t be more wrong.
The phone call from home is unexpected.
Alice and her husband, Kyle, have been attacked. Alice is in intensive care. Kyle is dead.
Then the note arrives, addressed to Tasha:
