A photo of Claire Douglas’ novel The Girls Who Disappeared. The cover is shades of green and shows a single house surrounded by snowy woodlands. The lights on the house are on and there is smoke coming from the chimney. Above the title is the line “Twenty years ago they went missing. How long will the truth stay buried”.

Book #1 of my 2026 #BookJourney is complete! Thought I’d start with my secret Santa gift - #TheGirlsWhoDisappeared by #ClaireDouglas. I do love a good mystery to start off the year.
