THE GIRLS WHO DISAPPEARED
by Claire Douglas (£8.99, Penguin, PB)
It’s 1998 and rain lashes against the windscreen as Olivia Rutherford drives her three friends home. Zooming down the Devil’s Corridor to Stafferbury, Wiltshire, they are met with a fearsome sight – a figure looms in the middle of the road. Olivia swerves to avoid a collision, and crashes the car. Worse still, upon regaining consciousness she realises that her friends have vanished. Twenty years later, journalist Jenna is investigating the unsolved disappearances that rocked Stafferbury. But Olivia won’t talk, and someone in the close-knit town will stop at nothing to keep Jenna quiet… Sinister secrets refuse to stay buried in this addictive thriller.
