A BEST DEBUT OF 2024 BY BB
Yorkshire, 1979
Maggie Thatcher is prime minister, drainpipe jeans are in, and Miv is convinced that her dad wants to move their family Down South.
Because of the murders.
Leaving Yorkshire and her best friend Sharon simply isn't an option, no matter the dangers lurking round their way; or the strangeness at home that started the day Miv's mum stopped talking.
Perhaps if she could solve the case of the disappearing women, they could stay after all?
So, Miv and Sharon decide to make a list: a list of all the suspicious people and things down their street. People they know. People they don't.
But their search for the truth reveals more secrets in their neighbourhood, within their families - and between each other - than they ever thought possible.
What if the real mystery Miv needs to solve is the one that lies much closer to home?

Absolutely brilliant
This is a stunning book. To Kill a Mockingbird has always been one of my very favourite novels and this is now right up there with it for me in terms of excellent character development, beautiful storyline and deeply powerful content. The narration is superb. Could not recommend this book more highly

The beautiful intertwined characters and story.
This was the most fabulous book. I couldn’t stop listening to it and finished in two days. Everything about it is wonderful and the memories of being a child in 1979 were bittersweet when listening to the story. Just loved it.

A beautiful story of love, joy and sadness
Loved all of it - story, insights, narration, characterisations, descriptions of time and place - with a lightness over the top of a dark and unseen undercurrent

Unexpected and wonderful
A very clever and original novel, well written and not what I was expecting. The narration is pitch perfect too. Deals beautifully with some difficult topics. A very uplifting story! Can see why this has had such an impact in the UK and been so popular.

What a ripper! (Pardon the pun)
I absolutely loved this coming of age story. Complex and beautiful. So much going on and such good characters. I couldn’t wait to recommend it to my friends.
