Summary
From the author of The Sisters - one of the best-selling debuts of 2015 - comes a tense psychological thriller ripped straight from the headlines....
Twenty years ago 21-year-old Sophie Collier vanished one night. She left 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 are ghosts from her past. The same old faces and familiar haunts of her youth. 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, best-selling author of Richard and Judy selection The Bones of You)
Praise for The Sisters:
"Grippingly claustrophobic and unpredictable on every page: perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train." (Marie Claire)
"Tension oozes from every page...[an] addictive read that will leave you on the edge of your seat." (Sun)
"As soon as I finished the first page, I knew I wouldn't be able to put this down.... I thoroughly enjoyed it." (Good Housekeeping)
"Unforgettably dark and complex." (Woman & Home)

Compelling read
Couldn’t get enough of this book. Just when you thought you knew what had happened something else did. Brilliant read. Finished this book very quickly.

Excellent
I really enjoyed this. I kept changing my mind throughout the book over ‘who dunnit’ but the actual ending I had never guessed! Very well narrated, I like having two different narrators for the two different first person dialogues.
Claire Douglas seems very clever at portraying the narcissistic personality - I wonder if she has her own experience of someone in her life?

Contrived
I did not really like this story. It was well read but I did not warm to the characters and the story line was somewhat forced. An interesting idea but not very engaging. Disappointed.

First time reading / listening with this author , and wow what a gripping read , the narrator was great some narrators voice accents etc can ruin a good story . I gave the narrator 5 stars . The story line started fast and didn’t really slow down every page had me thinking … there was so many different scenarios that could have panned out , you just didn’t know which road the author was going to go down . The characters were all likeable , and realist which I find adds to a good book . I couldn’t find anything to complain about at all . I can honestly say it was a great read and I’m looking at downloading another by the same author .

Very Absorbing
An interesting story with a clever twist. Hannah Murray and Emilia Fox are perfectly cast and do an outstanding job. It takes quite some time for the twist to come, but when it does, it will blow your socks off. So tie your shoes on tightly and treat yourself to Local Girl Missing by Claire Douglas. You can thank me later!
