What to expect
Not everyone who's missing is lost
When two teenage girls go missing along the Irish border, forensic psychologist Paula Maguire has to return to the hometown she left years before. Swirling with rumour and secrets, the town is gripped by fear of a serial killer. But the truth could be even darker.
Not everyone who's lost wants to be found
Surrounded by people and places she tried to forget, Paula digs into the cases as the truth twists further away. What's the link with two other disappearances from 1985? And why does everything lead back to the town's dark past- including the reasons her own mother went missing years before?
Nothing is what it seems
As the shocking truth is revealed, Paula learns that sometimes, it's better not to find what you've lost.

Critics Review
-
Compelling, clever and entertaining
Jane Casey, author of The Burning -
A gripping yarn you will be unable to put down
Sun -
McGowan’s style is pacey and direct, and the twists come thick and fast
Irish Times -
Engaging and gripping
Northern Echo -
Taut plotting and assured writing . . . a highly satisfying thriller
Good Housekeeping -
Either Tana French and Michael Connelly secretly co-wrote this book, or Claire McGowan is a knockout new talent you should read immediately. I’m betting on the latter
