Pretty girls

Twenty years ago, Julia Scott vanished without a trace, and her family never recovered. Her younger sisters, Claire and Lydia, have lived ever since in the shadow of that unanswered question. Now another teenage girl has gone missing, and the details of her disappearance echo Julia's closely enough to drag both women back into the past they have spent two decades trying to outrun.

Karin Slaughter, a number one Sunday Times bestselling author, is known for crime fiction that refuses to look away, and here she turns that unflinching gaze on grief, sisterhood and the secrets families bury to survive. As Claire and Lydia dig into what really happened, the truth proves far darker than either imagined. For lovers of dark psychological suspense who want their thrillers rooted in real human damage, and who don't mind losing a night's sleep.
