THRILLER OF THE WEEK

The Day She Disappeared Christobel Kent Sphere €18.99

Barmaid Beth was a good-time girl who followed her fancies, so no one was too worried when she failed to show up to work. No one except her friend Nat, who knew there was more to Beth. She suspects her attitude to men may have led to her downfall. As for who might be to blame, there are just too many possibilities – but before long it’s clear that one of them is stalking Nat. Christobel Kent is developing into a reliably classy purveyor of psychological suspense, and this is her best book yet.
