The Wrong Daughter by Dandy Smith
'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.
