**THE GRIPPING NOVEL FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE COUPLE AT NO 9**
Three girls missing . . .
Twenty years ago: One rainy night, Olivia Rutherford is driving three friends home when a figure in the road causes her to swerve and crash. Regaining consciousness, she finds herself alone in the car - her friends have vanished.
They are never seen again . . .
Now: Journalist Jenna Halliday visits the close-knit community of Stafferbury to persuade Olivia to talk and solve the mystery of the girls' disappearance. But Olivia won't speak.
What happened?
Is Olivia hiding something?
Why are the people of Stafferbury so frightened?
How many secrets can one small town hide?

Critics Review

I loved this twisty novel
RICHARD OSMAN

I loved The Girls Who Disappeared! From the atmospheric opening chapters describing the highly creepy 'Devil's Corridor', Claire crafts a gripping mystery that not only kept me glued to the page but gave me goosebumps! Page by page, Claire carefully reveals just enough information to make you want to read on and I quickly became invested in both the plot and the characters. Clever and terrifically compelling, I think The Girls Who Disappeared might be my new favourite Claire Douglas novel!

I was hooked from the first page and turned the last with my head reeling at the fiendishly clever ending. Atmospheric, haunting and endlessly surprising, I loved it

From page one I just knew this was going to be a cracking story, and I was right. The Girls Who Disappeared is a fabulously eerie, spine-tingling treat. Its twists and turns unfolded at a breathtaking pace, but Douglas is a master storyteller and I felt in the safest of hands. This haunting thriller is the perfect immersive read. I loved it!
