The Wrong Sister

11.98

Tasha has always felt in the shadow of her older sister, Alice. Their lifestyles couldn’t be more different; Alice is married to wealthy entrepreneur Kyle and has a high-flying career, Tasha is married to her childhood sweetheart and lives in a Bristol suburb with their four-year-old twins. When Alice realises that Tasha is struggling – with money, the kids, losing her identity – she suggests they do a lifeswap for a week. Alice and Kyle will come to stay at Tasha’s terraced house to look after the twins, while Tasha and Harry spend the week in Alice and Kyle’s Venice apartment. But a few days in, it all goes terribly wrong. Tasha receives a phonecall to say Alice is in hospital and Kyle is dead after an intruder broke into their house. They think it must have been a burglary gone wrong. Until a note arrives through the letterbox. Who was there that night?

You've known her all your life?

Or have you?

Tasha and her sister Alice might look alike, but couldn't be more different. Yet each trusts the other with her life.

So when Tasha is in need of a holiday, Alice offers to stay at home with the kids. Tasha knows they're in safe hands.

She couldn't be more wrong.

The phonecall 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:

It was supposed to be you . . .
