Summary

It’s bad when the girls go missing.It’s worse when the girls are found.

Six months ago, Charlotte almost lost everything. Now, she’s determined to keep her daughter, Elle, safe. So when local girls close to Elle in age and appearance begin to go missing, it’s her worst nightmare.

Charlotte’s fears are confirmed when a frantic search becomes a shocking murder investigation. The girls’ bodies have been found – half-buried, and with traces of mud and wildflowers under their fingernails.

As Charlotte’s obsession with keeping her daughter close pushes her marriage to the brink, local DI Madeleine Wood embarks on a gruelling search for the killer. And, as they dig deeper into the lives of the people they call friends and neighbours, they uncover secrets more terrible than they ever imagined…

Pretty Little Things is the nail-bitingly terrifying new serial killer thriller from TME Walsh – the perfect read for fans of Close to Home, Behind Her Eyes and The Child

Intriguing

I enjoyed this book at the beginning and in general but as it went on the shortening of Charlotte's name to Char became really irritating. The same with the daughter's name Ell . Was it short for Ellie? L is all she is called and again I found this jarring on me. The ending was predictable.

excellent stuff....

really enjoyed this book...im a glutton for a good crime thriller so much so that they do need now to give me a few surprises amongst the established tropes and that's not always easy. And this book did that, it had many layers and well rounded pivotal characters....the narrator did a fantastic job with all of them!

Great psychological thriller, surprising throughout

This book was fantastic! The narrator did an amazing job bringing each of the characters to life. I was suspicious of two of the characters and kept going back and forth between them, but ended up being completely surprised. Great twist! This book kept me entertained through it’s entirety! Could not stop listening.

Sending it back!

I can't get my head around this story, I've persevered until chapter 67 but giving up now. what a load of tosh! I've listened to some of the authors other books which were excellent. This one is not to my taste at all.

Predictable and silly.

i really struggled to finish this book, the 'twist' was obvious from chapter one, the red herrings were glaringly obvious and there were many continuity errors and it was filled with nonsense that was just there to move the plot along, despite it actually making no real sense. The sub-plot was also hugely predictable, the whole book was unoriginal and was clearly designed to shock, contrived drivel. Very disappointed and would definitely not recommend.
