***SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER 1 BESTSELLER***THE BIGGEST DEBUT LAUNCH OF 2024
The story takes us back in history to the 20th century.
The setting is Yorkshire, the year 1979. Margaret Thatcher is prime minister, the Yorkshire Ripper is out at large, and Dad wants to move the family down south because of well, the murders. But moving her whole life, and leaving her best friend Sharon is just not an option for Miv.
Danger is always lurking round the corners, and home feels strange, especially after Mum stopped talking.
Miv hopes she could solve the case of the vanishing women, so they won’t have to leave after all.
The two friends, Miv and Sharon, make a list. A list of the suspicious people and things down their street. Some people they know, and others they don’t. however, their search for the truth lifts the cover off more secrets in their neighborhood, within their own families, and between them, than they ever thought possible.
What if the real mystery Miv needs to solve is the one that lies much closer to home?
This great novel is a tale of events that affected so many lives not so far in history, from the point of view of two young women. A page-turner that'll take you on an emotional roller coaster filled with suspense. Perfect for fans of historical fiction and murder mysteries alike.
The List of Suspicious Things is a tender and moving coming-of-age story about family, friendship, and community. Sometimes the strongest connections are found in the most unlikely of places.
