About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

'Carer/companion wanted. Young female preferred. Competitive salary. Room and board included.'

Una Richardson is devastated after the death of her mother. Hoping for a fresh start, she responds to an advertisement and steps into the rich, comforting world of elderly Mrs Elspeth McKenzie.

But Elspeth's home is not as safe as it seems.

Kathryn, her cold and bitter daughter, resents Una's presence. More disturbing is the evidence suggesting two girls lived here before.

What happened to them?

Why will the McKenzies not talk about them?

As the walls close in around her, Una fears she'll end up just like the other girls...

Critic reviews

Just Like the Other Girls is a chilling novel showcasing Claire Douglas's trademark brilliantly claustrophobic settings and tightly plotted twists. Impossible to know which of the well-drawn characters to trust and very hard to put down
Douglas's best yet - an ingenious concept with a corker of a twist halfway through. Just Like The Other Girls grips and thrills (Gillian McAllister)
Just Like the Other Girls is just the sort of distraction I need at the moment: an immersive page-turner with numerous red herrings and a twist I didn't see coming (Sarah Vaughan)
A thriller that will leave you in a spin
I absolutely couldn't put this book down. A wickedly clever page-turner of a psychothriller
Deliciously spooky. You simply have to discover what happens
Tense and totally compelling
Praise for Claire Douglas
Thrillingly tense and twisty
Stunning . . . with a killer twist

For me this dragged out to much. Thought I’d never get to the end…I didn’t. Gave up over half way through.

Poor

I enjoyed this book. The characters were believable and although I guessed one of the plots it still had an element of surprise. The only thing I found a bit irksome was the Bristolian accent for Una. It was a bit off and distracting.

Good story with plenty of twists

Loved this audiobook and the narrator was very good too. A great story, well told with a twist.
