The Girls Who Disappeared

The Girls Who Disappeared by Claire Douglas

In Autumn 1998 Olivia Rutherford and her three friends are driving back from a night out, down Devils Corridor near Wiltshire. The Rain is pounding down, Olivia swerves her car to try not to hit the man in the middle of the road. Olivia was out cold and when she comes to, she is pinned in her car. Her legs are trapped, and her three friends are nowhere to be seen. Where has her friends gone?

Twenty years later, the anniversary of the accident and the disappearance of the three girls, a podcaster, Jenna Halliday arrives from the BBC to the village to investigate and found out what happened to the girls. Jenna is not welcomed by the villagers, and they do not want her there. Weird things start to happen, and Jenna get threatened and told to leave. Why won’t locals want her to find out the truth about that day?

The Girls Who Disappeared is highly intriguing and eerie. The multiple POV and possible supernatural/paranormal elements throughout the setting really kept me intrigued throughout. Another of my favorite aspects is the emotional, and complex characters. This one is a hit for me! I love a book with a podcast element and this one delivered. I was excited to be able to read this one, as I loved Local Girl Missing and The Couple at No. 9

All my thanks to Harper Collins Publishing, NetGalley, and the Author, Claire Douglas for the opportunity to read and review an advanced reader’s copy of this book.
