She couldn’t be more wrong.
The call sends Tasha rushing home.

Her husband is dead.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Deliciously Twisty, Sisterly Shock-Fest You Won’t Put Down

The Wrong Sister by Claire Douglas is one of those thrillers that makes you question everyone, trust no one, and consider texting your own siblings just to double-check where they were on the night in question.

From the very first chapter, Douglas hooks you with her signature blend of suspense, secrets, and “oh no, something is definitely not right here” energy. The tension builds like a roller coaster click-click-clicking up the hill—then suddenly you’re plummeting into twists you absolutely did not see coming.

The characters are wonderfully layered: suspicious, vulnerable, unpredictable, and very possibly lying through their teeth. Douglas has a talent for making every interaction feel loaded, like a polite cup of tea could erupt into chaos at any second.

The pacing is brisk, the atmosphere deliciously unsettling, and the reveals? Chef’s kiss. You’ll be flipping pages with the kind of frantic enthusiasm usually reserved for buying concert tickets.

What makes this a five-star blast is simply how fun it is—dark, twisty fun, but fun nonetheless. It keeps you guessing, gasping, and grinning right up to the final page.

Five stars: addictive, twist-packed, and perfectly crafted for fans of psychological thrillers who love their drama served with secrets, suspicion, and a side of sibling chaos.
