A BEST DEBUT OF 2024 BY BB
The instant Sunday Times bestseller
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?

Fabulous!
Wow! This really is an amazingly good book. I nearly didn’t buy it because the protagonist is a child and that is usually not my thing. The great number of glowing reviews encouraged me to take a chance though and I’m so glad I did so. The storyline is truly original, it’s beautifully written, with really well drawn characters and genuinely
hard to put down. One of the best books I’ve ever read/ listened to. I highly recommend it!

The power of kindness and compassion
A deeply effecting story where the growing pains of Miv and her damaged family are played out against the backdrop of the impact of the Yorkshire Ripper on community life. Its a book that illuminates the power of kindness to change people's lives. Central to the story is a friendship and this book is so well written that you are devastated when it is interrupted. If you have children this book will make you hold the tighter.

Pretty unique storyline
I enjoyed this book and couldn’t stop listening, yet I don’t know how I’d explain the point of it to someone else?! I expected a more uplifting end and was disappointed, but overall I looked forward to having the chance to listening to the next chapter
