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 my throat and a hole in my heart' 'A book I won't forget for a while' 'A beautiful and
