About this ebook

HOW WELL DO YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOURS?

Discover the gripping psychological mystery from Sunday Times bestselling author of Don't Let Him In and None of this is True.

You live on a picturesque communal garden square in London, an oasis where your children run free, in and out of other people’s houses.

You have known your neighbours for years.

You trust them. Implicitly.

You think your children are safe. But are they really?

On Midsummer night, a thirteen-year-old girl is found unconscious in a dark corner of the garden.

What happened to her? And who is responsible?

Utterly believable characters, a close-knit community and a dark secret at its heart: The Girls is a compelling story of trust, family and the danger hiding in plain sight.
