Twenty years ago, three young friends vanished from the scene of an accident, which left another badly injured. Now in Claire Douglas’ The Girls Who Disappeared, journalist Jenna Halliday arrives in town to cover the milestone anniversary, only to discover that loss, secrets and local lore still haunt the place and its inhabitants.

While Jenna interviews the townspeople and tries to find a way to approach her, we also hear things from Olivia’s perspective. This builds a more complete picture of how far and in what ways the ripples of impact travel, as we not only discover how the accident has impacted the town and its inhabitants but also, the young woman directly involved. I really felt for Olivia, the survivor of the accident, and the girl who is left behind by it, in so many ways. Especially since she stays within that same community, with all the suspicion, stigma, and survivor’s guilt which that entails. It makes the revelations, which come later in the book, all the more impactful and devastating for having met her early on and heard her story this way. a b "Shannon's mother, Karen Matthews, defends her partner on TV".

I absolutely loved this one and think it might just be my favorite Claire Douglas book yet. Gripping, pacey, and wonderfully twisty, it hits all the right points for a fantastic thriller. Claire has a way of writing vibrant, emotive characters that feel like they could be real. The story has hints of ghostly happenings and a nice creepy vibe. I loved it! Anyways I still loved so many things about this book! Even though I had hard time to connect with the characters and disliked how things wrapped up, I’m giving my solid three stars for promising, intriguing beginning!

The author created realistic characters and the atmosphere in and around the cabin was really unsettling. The tension at the story’s climax was palpable and I found the ending to be a satisfying one. Even when the dust has settled, the court cases are over, and there has been a laying to rest of some long-held grief and loss, someone still clings to that final secret which will probably never be uncovered, as the truth has been cleverly redirected away from its real perpetrator.
