The Sunday Times bestseller - now in paperback
The Wrong Sister by Claire Douglas tells the gripping story of Tasha, who has always felt overshadowed by her older sister, Alice. While Alice is married to wealthy entrepreneur Kyle and boasts a high-flying career, Tasha finds herself living in a Bristol suburb with her childhood sweetheart and their three-year-old twins.
Recognising that Tasha is struggling, Alice offers to look after the twins for a week, allowing Tasha and her husband a much-needed getaway. However, the situation rapidly deteriorates.

As the shock sets in, a chilling note arrives: It was supposed to be you...

About the Author
Claire Douglas worked as a journalist for fifteen years, writing features for women's magazines and national newspapers, but had dreamed of being a novelist since the age of seven. She finally got her wish after winning the Marie Claire Debut Novel Award with her first novel, The Sisters. She is a frequent Sunday Times bestseller and Richard & Judy Book Club pick. Her books have sold nearly two million copies in the UK alone, and The Wrong Sister was a Sunday Times number 2 bestseller in hardback. She lives in Bath with her husband and two children.
