The compelling new standalone novel from the Sunday Times No. 1 bestselling author of Unseen and Cop Town. With a missing girl in the news, Claire Scott can't help but be reminded of her sister, who disappeared twenty years ago in a mystery that was never solved. But when Claire begins to learn the truth about her sister, nothing will ever be the same.
another brilliant read!
“You couldn’t turn on the TV without hearing about the missing teenage girl. Sixteen years old. White. Middle class. Very pretty. No one ever seemed quite as outraged when an ugly woman went missing.”
Pretty Girls is the second stand-alone novel by popular American author, Karin Slaughter. Claire Scott’s sister has been missing for twenty-four years, so she notices reports of missing girls. But her attention to the latest case understandably deviates when Paul, her husband of eighteen years, is stabbed to death before her eyes in an alley behind the bar they have just left. And when she comes home from his funeral to a police and FBI presence in response to a disturbed-in-progress burglary, she feels the loss of her beloved husband even more acutely. Her grief turns to confusion as she searches Paul’s computer for files his business partner needs. Shock and anger have her turning to the one person she knows she can trust.
