MISSING – Have you seen this girl? Nineteen-year-old Leila Hawkins was last seen on 24 June, 1994, when she left her parents’ anniversary party early and ran into the stormy night wearing her twin sister Stella’s long red coat. She was never seen again.Stella holds the missing poster flat against the tree trunk and presses to make sure it’s secure. She tries not to look at the photograph on it. At the features so similar to hers. This time every year she decorates the small seaside town they grew up in with pictures of her beautiful missing twin. But after almost twenty-five years, is it even worth hoping someone will come forward?The last thing Stella ever expects is a direct response from the person who took Leila. Wracked with guilt about the secret she’s been keeping since the night of the party, and completely alone in the world without the other half of her, Stella agrees to his strange request: private, intimate details of her life in return for answers.But as the true events of the night of the party play out before her, Stella feels closer to Leila than she ever dreamed she’d be again – too close. Will it be too late before she realises she’s walked right into a deadly trap? Will she suffer the same fate as her sister?
Firstly a big thank you to Bookoutre for my copy to read on netgalley. This is only the second book of this authors that ive read. This was a twisty tense and suspenseful thriller. Unpredictable and keeps you on your toes.
Great format in which there is a mix of emails and a transcript for a television documentary. This was fresh idea for a thriller especially as i watch a lot of documentaries. Dark and compelling this is another fantsdrug psychological thriller from Bookoutre .
Highly recommend and i will definitely be reading more from Barbara
