Twenty-five years ago, a local girl went missing. Now, another girl
comes back... When five-year-old Elsie Button was snatched from a
garden in a sleepy town on the Welsh island of Anglesey, and a
local man later confessed, it sent shockwaves through the
tight-knit community. How could one of their own do such a thing?
Especially when his own little girl was the same age - and the
victim's best friend. Kathryn and her family left under the cloak
of darkness one night, unable to bear the shame, and the anger of
their neighbours. She hardly remembers that time. Now, she suffers
the consequences of living under an assumed name, always looking
over her shoulder. Her dad has not spoken a word to her since he
went to prison. She is haunted by the question: why did he kill
Elsie? When another child is taken from the same garden,
twenty-five years to the day of Elsie's murder, Kathryn is
determined that this time she'll be on the right side. She'll join
the search and atone for her father's deed, and maybe, just maybe,
get the answers she wants. But she's not prepared for the long
memory of the locals, nor the risks of going back. Not everyone on
the island wants the truth to come out, and they'll go to extreme
lengths to stop that from happening. A gripping must-read
psychological thriller from the #1 bestselling author Jenny
Blackhurst. Unmissable for fans of K. L. Slater, C. L. Taylor and
S. E. Lynes. Praise for The Girl Who Left:'Absolutely brilliant and
had more twists and turns than Alton Towers theme park. Thoroughly
enjoyed it and highly recommended. Five stars.' Angela Marsons,
author of Six Graves 'Tense, fast-paced and heart-grippingly
emotive...everything you could want in a psychological thriller and
more. I loved it.' Steph Broadribb, author of Death in the Sunshine
'With believable, relatable characters and a cleverly unfolding
storyline, The Girl Who Left is a breath-taking page-turner of a
mystery, full of dark truths and heart-breaking revelations.' Susi
Holliday, author of The Last Resort 'DI Maggie Grant will have you
cheering, Elsie Button will break your heart. A thought-provoking
examination of the lengths we will go to for the ones we love.'

packed with tension, twists and intrigue.' Emma Haughton, author of
