I PAPER
Yorkshire, 1979
Maggie Thatcher is prime minister, drainpipe jeans are in, and Miv is convinced that her dad wants to move their family Down South.
Because of the murders.
Leaving Yorkshire and her best friend Sharon simply isn't an option, no matter the dangers lurking round their way; or the strangeness at home that started the day Miv's mum stopped talking.
Perhaps if she could solve the case of the disappearing women, they could stay after all?
So, Miv and Sharon decide to make a list: a list of all the suspicious people and things down their street. People they know. People they don't.
But their search for the truth reveals more secrets in their neighbourhood, within their families - and between each other - than they ever thought possible.
What if the real mystery Miv needs to solve is the one that lies much closer to home?

Simply Superb
This is one of those books! One of those books that draw you in from the very first sentence and leave you bereft and longing for more at the end. I’m not going to spoil it with loads of words of my own but, trust me, it is quite simply a masterpiece.

Interesting perspective
I enjoyed Miv’s perspective as a girl on the verge of adulthood mixed in with the adults around her. Really enjoyable read and great performances.

Unexpectedly great read
I downloaded the book when recommended for me but wasn't convinced by the blurb. It was a capturing story that was very tightly written. The performance of multiple narratives was well executed.

Wonderful story
I absolutely loved this book. The characters were so rich and believable, the relationships so deep. A beautifully told and narrated story of love, life, loss and growing up. Loved every bit of it.
