A TENSE PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER RIPPED STRAIGHT FROM THE HEADLINES . . .



Twenty years ago
21-year-old Sophie Collier vanishes one night.
She leaves nothing behind but a trainer on the old pier -
and a hole in the heart of her best friend Francesca.

Now
A body's been found.
And Francesca's drawn back to the seaside town she's tried to forget.
Perhaps the truth of what happened to Sophie will finally come out.
Yet Francesca is beginning to wish she hadn't returned.

Everywhere she turns, ghosts from her past appear. The same old faces that always haunted her. But if someone knows what really happened to Sophie that night, then now's the time to find out . . . Isn't it?

Except sometimes discovering the truth can cost you everything you hold dear - your family, your sanity and even your life . . .

Critic reviews

Compelling and page-turning, wonderfully written and impossible to second-guess with a brilliant twist (Debbie Howells)
The creepy goings-on in the off-season, secret-filled resort will give you chills
A gripping and atmospheric read
Praise for The Sisters
Grippingly claustrophobic and unpredictable on every page: perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train
Tension oozes from every page . . . an addictive read that will leave you on the edge of your seat
As soon as I finished the first page, I knew I wouldn't be able to put this down . . . I thoroughly enjoyed it
Unforgettably dark and complex
Praise for Last Seen Alive
This stunning new release from Claire Douglas is packed with a killer twist
All stars

Not sure why so many people dislike the narrators so much. I thought they suited the characters perfectly and they did a good job. The story overall was interesting enough although a little repetitive at times. The twist was interesting and the book did keep me engaged wanting to know more throughout. A decent read.

Easy listen, with a nice twist

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Unconvincing twist, immature reading (or is it the writing?). Hard to continue to the end.
