1.12.2023 - The Girls Who Disappeared

 The Girls Who Disappeared by Claire Douglas

Many thanks to NetGalley and Harper Perennial for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by a favorite, Claire Douglas.  4 stars!

Twenty years ago, teenager Olivia was driving her three friends home after a night out when suddenly there was a man in the road.  She swerved, lost control, and crashed.  When she woke up, she was pinned in the car and her three friends were gone.  On the anniversary, Jenna is working on a podcast about the girls' disappearance and leaves her small boy at home with her estranged husband to spend 5 days doing interviews.  But has she put herself in danger?

This was a creepy, atmospheric thriller with strange happenings in the woods and on a road known as The Devil's Corridor.  The story is told from the POV of both Olivia and Jenna, with alternating chapters of a past timeline.  I was intrigued with this story and there are plenty of questionable characters.  The ending was a bit over the top for me but still another good read from this author.
