COTTON 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? THE PERFECT DEBUT NOVEL TO DISCUSS IN BOOK CLUBS ***READER REVIEWS***'Left a lump in
