Reviews

Spine chilling Moody, menacing and gothic, The Girls Who Disappeared is a chillingly atmospheric thriller 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! A deliciously dark, captivating and twisty mystery from Queen of Gripping Pageturners. With an eerie setting, a brilliant hook and a cast of suspicious characters, The Girls Who Disappeared will keep you guessing and frantically turning the pages from the gripping opening to the very last page A darkly menacing sense of place looms throughout Claire Douglas's latest absorbing, atmospheric novel. Douglas weaves dual timelines and smart plotting to serve up another tense, spine-chilling mystery that fans will absolutely love Douglas is the queen of the unexpected twist, and this is her best wrongfooting yet If, like me , you loved The Couple at No 9 you are in for a treat. A cleverly plotted dark and twisty thriller which will keep you guessing until the end. 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! 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 A fabulous book. Brilliantly plotted, heart-wrenchingly emotional, and with a central premise to die for. This delivered by the armful. I loved it! Clever . . . Adventurous . . . Fans of Douglas's bestseller, The Couple at No 9, will enjoy her particularly lively female characters and twisty plot A chillingly dark plot with a killer twist, I was totally gripped throughout Praise for Claire Douglas Claire is a mistress at weaving the reader into a web of domestic deceit Twisty, exciting yet so very real An unputdownable thriller. Spine-tingling mystery . . . I could not put this down!' I loved this twisty novel Spine-chilling . . . A twisty plot and unnerving undertones make this an unforgettable read Expand reviews
