November. Wednesday. I think he's going to kill me.
Every day, in her basement flat in a quiet street, Rene arranges her collection of objects just so. She takes her pills, looks at her photographs and remembers her free-spirited sister, Lauren, before she vanished.
But lately the memories are shifting. When a letter arrives out of the blue, the opening words send ice through her veins.
Lauren is alive. She's waiting. And she needs Rene to find her before it's too late.
Lauren Is Missing is a brilliantly haunting psychological thriller with a twist that will leave you breathless. Fans of Room, Gone Girl and Sometimes I Lie will love this heart-wrenching and addictive read.
