About this item

'I'm going to put it out there that not only is this one of my books of the year, this is arguably one of my favourite reads of the last decade' Reader review, 5 stars

The phone starts vibrating in my hand. It's my father. He never calls. Pulse racing, I sit up in bed and answer. 'Caitlin,' he says. 'You need to come to the house. Right now. It's Olivia. She's back.'

On the night when Caitlin and Olivia's parents leave them to go to a dinner party, both girls are full of excitement about finally being old enough to stay home alone.

What they don't see is the figure watching them through the open window. Who, after the girls have fallen asleep, will turn the handle of the unlocked back door.

When their parents return, they will find Olivia's bed empty. Their eldest daughter gone. Never to return. Until now.

But is the woman who claims to be Olivia all she seems? Is everything Caitlin said she saw that night the whole truth?

Their family have dreamed of this moment, but both sisters are keeping more than one secret. What price will they all pay if they end up believing the wrong daughter?

The absolutely gripping and page-turning new psychological thriller from bestselling author Dandy Smith, with a killer twist you won't see coming.

Readers can't get enough of The Wrong Daughter!

I read a lot, like 2-3 books a week. I rarely give reviews, but this one, oh my! This book is not what I expected. So many twists and turns, I was dizzy. I couldn’t put it down, read it in about 24 hours. If you like suspense and psychological stories, you will love this one!

With the twists and turns, ups and downs of this marvelous story, I was completely unable to put it down. Falling asleep reading it, waking at 3 a.m reaching for it, knowing in just a couple hours the work day would start but unregretfully diving in.. I praise Dandy Smith for a book well written, a picture well painted.

3.0 out of 5 stars It was a page turner for the first 2/3rds or so, then it got ridiculous.

This book started strong as kept me guessing. As someone who usually figures mysteries out long before the ending, I liked the fact that it was a true mystery. However, there is one scene in the book that just goes a little too over the top and is unbelievable that the character involved would behave in the way they did based on everything I’d learned about them so far. The character was not an idiot but suddenly behaved like one. It was a real eye rolling moment. From that point forward it read less like the book I’d been reading and more like a book that was rushed to finish, leaving out some of the great scene setting descriptors that were in the beginning. After that I just read to finish the book. Once finished, I feel like maybe the author was either rushed to meet some deadlines or was simplifying the story in hopes of a series/movie deal. It definitely seemed a little more script like and certainly more rushed in pace compared to the rest of the book. It was just kind of a sad, depressive story with a lackluster ending. I gave it three stars because most of the book was as good and kept me up turning pages, but I didn’t believe it warranted a 4 or 5 because of the reasons listed above.

Great suspense, had me wondering how the pieces connected. Not thrilled about the ending for my own emotional sake, but good book overall!

A tale of sisters.
It is filled with so many emotions.

Reading this book today was probably a horrible idea.
But I thoroughly enjoyed this tale of sisters.
It helped me process some emotions I wasn't sure what to do with today.

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2024
Moving and heartfelt. "I know people whose loved ones are all alive, who’ve never experienced the deep, lacerating grief that accompanies loss. I wonder what it feels like to be blissfully ignorant to that pain. Blissfully ignorant to death hovering, ready to snatch everything from you at any given moment."

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent read
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024
It's not difficult to guess the plot and who the "bad guys" are, but it's still an interesting read. I'm definitely a book snob, but I'd still recommend it.
