A journalist’s life is threatened when she investigates the truth about a mysterious car crash that happened twenty years earlier in this gripping thriller from the internationally bestselling author of The Couple at Number 9 and Just Like the Other Girls.
A car accident.
Three missing girls.

A woman on the verge of discovering the truth . . .
In a rural Wilshire town lies the Devil’s Corridor—a haunted road which has witnessed eerie happenings, from unexplained deaths to the sounds of a child crying in the night.
In this bucolic stretch of Southwest England famous for its otherworldly sites, nothing is more puzzling than the Olivia Rutherford case. Four girls were driving home. After their car crashed only one—Olivia—was found.

Soon, Jenna starts receiving menacing notes. The locals have made it clear she’s not welcome. But someone is going to make her leave one way or another. Jenna’s been warned: she must get out of this town before she suffers a dark fate . . . and becomes another mystery attached to this place.

In Autumn 1998 Olivia Rutherford and her three friends are driving back from a night out, down Devils Corridor near Wiltshire. The Rain is pounding down, and Olivia swerves her car to try not to hit the man in the middle of the road. Olivia was out cold and when she comes to, she is pinned in her car. Her legs are trapped, and her three friends are nowhere to be seen. Where have her friends gone?
Twenty years later, on the anniversary of the accident and the disappearance of the three girls, a podcaster, Jenna Halliday arrives from the BBC to the village to investigate and found out what happened to the girls. Jenna is not welcomed by the villagers, and they do not want her there. Weird things start to happen, and Jenna gets threatened and told to leave. Why wonât locals want her to find out the truth about that day?
The Girls Who Disappeared is highly intriguing and eerie. The multiple POVs and possible supernatural/paranormal elements throughout the setting really kept me intrigued throughout. Another of my favorite aspects is the emotional, and complex characters. This one is a hit for me! I love a book with a podcast element and this one delivered. I was excited to be able to read this one, as I loved Local Girl Missing and The Couple at No. 9
