This wasn't anything too surprising in the end. I just thought there were way too many plot holes to be believed and the ending was a letdown. I thought that the main character, Tasha, was written inconsistently. And per usual, writers make it seem like the police are just going to hard shrug about murders and let them go, especially when there's enough evidence to make you go, hey person A looks suspicious. Ah well. 

'The Wrong Sister" follows married mother of two wins, Tasha. Tasha and her husband Aaron are dealing with a rough patch in their marriage. Her older sister, Alice, offers up the vacation home she and her husband Kyle have in Italy. While in Italy, Tasha and Aaron are given terrible news, someone broke into their home and Kyle is left dead and Alice injured. The book jumps back and forth between three characters, Tasha, her mother Jeanette, and a mysterious woman that seems to be tied to the family in the some way. We also at one point get Alice's point of view. And I believe at one point we even get Aaron's mother's point of view. At this point my memory of this book is just scrambled. 

The character development of Tasha, Jeanette, mysterious woman, and heck even Alice were all over the place. I think Douglas should have shown more of Tasha and Alice's growing up. You keep hearing how much Alice did for Tasha, but as asides. Jeanette too wasn't written very well. I think most of the characters Douglas wrote to do some dun dun dun stuff so at the end of each chapter you are left guessing about who did what. It just didn't work for me after a while. The husbands in this story are given short work so I didn't pay them any mind. 

The flow was off through the whole book in my opinion. I just didn't need the points of view and you working through what time period is person A in versus persons B and C. It just got confusing after a while and I stopped tracking things.

The setting of the village of Chew Norton could have been better used. I think at one point we only get a handful of scenes with other than the core characters and the police. And I have to wonder why Douglas made it seem like this place where a character like Tasha would not know who all of her husband's friends were. It was weird. And it made zero sense. It felt like Tasha just could not have people over ever or her mother in law (who we know loves to babysit) would not have watched the kids so she and Aaron could go out. The whole book was like that. Things would happen and you would go, that doesn't make sense and I would shrug.

The ending was I swear written for Netflix or Lifetime. Douglas tries for a what would you do in this situation and how hard it would be, but I called BS and shook my head.
