Critics Review
Praise for Claire Douglas
I loved this twisty novel – RICHARD OSMAN
I loved The Girls Who Disappeared! From the atmospheric opening chapters describing the highly creepy ‘Devil’s Corridor’, Claire crafts a gripping mystery that not only kept me glued to the page but gave me goosebumps! Page by page, Claire carefully reveals just enough information to make you want to read on and I quickly became invested in both the plot and the characters. Clever and terrifically compelling, I think The Girls Who Disappeared might be my new favourite Claire Douglas novel! – SARAH PEARSE

From page one I just knew this was going to be a cracking story, and I was right. The Girls Who Disappeared is a fabulously eerie, spine-tingling treat. Its twists and turns unfolded at a breathtaking pace, but Douglas is a master storyteller and I felt in the safest of hands. This haunting thriller is the perfect immersive read. I loved it! * JANICE HALLETT *
