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?
I received a copy of this on Netgalley from the publisher Michel Joseph, Penguin Randomhouse, in return for an honest review.
This was our Tsundoku Squad September read, and I jumped straight in. I was glued, if I hadn’t been so tired lately, I would have read more than a few percent each night, taking me 10 days to read it. But that was tiredness, nothing to do with the story, which by the I thought was brilliant.
I loved Olivia, and Jenna, and was shocked with the different twists tat happen in the book. I did not expect the answers to be the answers, if you know what I mean. I don’t even know what else to say without breaking into some kind of spoiler!
I would recommend this to everyone who likes. Good mystery/thriller, and I’m really looking forward to reading another of Claire’s books (I have The Couple at No 9 to read).
Thanks again to Michael Joseph for my ebook arc :)
