APPLE BOOKS REVIEW

Part of the beauty of a mystery told from several viewpoints is that it allows us, the readers, to feel we may be close to piecing together the truth. The Girls Who Disappeared is such a book—one that’ll get your mind whirring with possibilities—but it also retains the ability to surprise until the very end. When a journalist arrives in a small town 20 years after the disappearance of three young women, she is hoping to get to the bottom of an event that has long haunted the place. Viewed with suspicion by some locals, her own suspicions are raised by a community in which it seems almost everyone has something to hide. Claire Douglas’ gift for pacing means the novel draws you in from the beginning and never slackens its grip.
