Debut Spotlight: Claire Douglas

This Thursday is a busy day in the book world as it's a bumper day of new books being published, especially debut novels, so it's my pleasure today to start off the week with a spotlight feature on Claire Douglas whose book The Sisters is one of the debut novels being published.

Claire Douglas has worked as a journalist for fifteen years writing features for women's magazines and national newspapers, but she's dreamed of being a novelist since the age of seven.

She finally got her wish after winning the Marie Claire Debut Novel Award, with her first novel, THE SISTERS. She lives in Bath with her husband and two children.

One lied. One died.

When one sister dies, the other must go to desperate lengths to survive

After a tragic accident, still haunted by her twin sister’s death, Abi is making a fresh start in Bath. But when she meets siblings Bea and Ben, she is quickly drawn into their privileged and unsettling circle.

When one sister lies, she must protect her secret at all costs

As Abi tries to keep up with the demands of her fickle friends, strange things start to happen – precious letters go missing and threatening messages are left in her room. Is this the work of the beautiful and capricious Bea? Or is Abi willing to go to any lengths to get attention?

When the truth outs, will either sister survive?

Can you tell us a little bit about your debut novel The Sisters?
It's a psychological thriller and centres around Abi, who is reeling from the recent death of her identical twin sister, Lucy. When Abi meets the fun, artistic Beatrice, she's drawn to her because of her resemblance to Lucy. Soon Bea invites Abi to move into the rambling Georgian town house that she shares with her twin brother, Ben, and their arty friends. But Bea has an agenda of her own. And when Abi begins a relationship with Ben things in the house take a sinister turn. Is the possessive Bea trying to cause trouble or is it all in Abi's fragile mind?
