The Girls Who Disappeared: ‘I loved this twisty novel’ Richard Osman

Liked it so much that I wasn't able to put it down, so much so that I'm now.ordering another novel from the author. So happy to have found an author who's story telling keeps you on the edge..

Well written mystery that keeps you guessing till the last.. gets complicated with so many characters and so many different perspectives and angles..a page turner

One of the best books I have read in recent times... Finished it in 4 days... Grab your copy now !!!

Not spine chilling or a whole night page turner

🔹 My take: 3.75/5🔸 Olivia is driving back from pub with her friends Katie, Tamzin and Sally. They meet with a horrible accident while crossing the forest patch and Olivia loses consciousness. When she wakes up, her leg hurts horribly and she gets to know that her 3 friends are nowhere to be found. Twenty years have passed…Olivia is living with the guilt of being behind the wheel that night, the town folks look down at her ever since, she has a life long limp and also there are loads of secrets.Jenna, a journalist has come to make a podcast on this cold case and wants to share the story of Olivia; who has always avoided interviews over past 20 years but has agreed now…Supernatural elements, lies, deceit, cheating, all come forth when Jenna starts digging into the story and Olivia starts talking.💖 This is my second book of the author and I love her writing. She has this ability to run multiple parallel stories and then merge it at the end which covers various perspectives and gives answers to all the questions going in your mind. I particularly loved the Thailand story which gave a different flavour to the plot.💔 I found Olivia’s character a bit irksome. Rather than invoking sympathy, I was frustrated since she ended up playing the victim card all the time. Also, Jenna’s personal story did not evoke any strong emotion from me. Since both the protagonists were not too likeable to me; the rating is a bit botched down.💫 1 thing you need to know when you pick up a Claire Douglas novel is you have to be patient and read till the end to understand the plot. If you quit in between thinking it’s slow paced or cliched, you will not get the gist and end up disliking it. I believe she has loads of potential to weave intricate stories and write great thrillers… I loved ‘The Couple at no. 9’ by her more than this one though.

The girls who disappeared is one of the best books I have read. With a twisting tale of murder and a small side story that explains the ending, I definitely recommend it. My siblings have been trying to borrow, and might steal this book for a long time. But I stay true to myself. NO ONE's getting this book until i finish reading it for the 10th time.

Thanks

Such a fantastic read with lots of twists and turns! 10/10 recommend!

I gave 4 Stars to Claire Douglas’s latest thriller, “The Girls Who Disappeared.”SUMMARYJenna was planning to spend several days in a small town to investigate a very intriguing cold case for her true crime podcast. In 1998, there had been 4 teenagers involved in a car accident, but when the ambulance arrived there was only one girl, Olivia, in the car. The other three girls somehow disappeared while Olivia was blacked out and had never been heard from again. There were many theories about what had happened ranging from; them running away and starting a new life to an alien abduction. Plus, the town had a very haunted reputation which added a whole new element.Jenna was determined to find out what happened.Additionally, there are chapters with a seemingly unrelated story about a group of 20-something on a trip to Thailand staying at a mysteriously rich “friend or a friend’s” house.As Jenna starts asking around, talking to various residents of the town, she begins to realize that there is much more happening under the surface of the town.WHAT I LOVEDI loved the possibility of a haunting! That was super fun! I adore Brit-Lit and this was Brit-Lit at it's finest. I loved the characters, Claire Douglas managed to create characters who were simultaneously strong but vulnerable. I loved trying to figure out how the Thailand story fit into the plot. It was just a fun story to read!WHAT I DIDN’T LOVEThe ending didn’t seem super realistic to me. I was a little disappointed in it.OVERALLThis was a very fun book to read. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves a twisty thriller with great characters, and the possibility of a haunting.
