NOW A MAJOR BBC DRAMA A SUNDAY TIMES TOP FIVE BESTSELLER How do you
solve a mystery when you can't remember the clues? Maud is
forgetful. She makes a cup of tea and doesn't remember to drink it.
She goes to the shops and forgets why she went. Sometimes her home
is unrecognizable - or her daughter Helen seems a total stranger.
But there's one thing Maud is sure of: her friend Elizabeth is
missing. The note in her pocket tells her so. And no matter who
tells her to stop going on about it, to leave it alone, to shut up,
Maud will get to the bottom of it. Because somewhere in Maud's
damaged mind lies the answer to an unsolved seventy-year-old
mystery. One everyone has forgotten about. Everyone, except Maud .

Jen has finally got her daughter home. But why does
fifteen-year-old Lana still feel lost? When Lana goes missing for
four desperate days and returns refusing to speak of what happened,
Jen fears the very worst. She thinks she's failed as a mother, that
her daughter is beyond reach and that she must do something -
anything - to bring her back. The family returns to London where
everyone but Jen seems happy to carry on as normal. Jen's husband
Hugh thinks she's going crazy - and their eldest daughter Meg is
tired of Lana getting all the attention. But Jen knows Lana has
changed, and can't understand why. Does the answer lie in those
four missing days? And how can Jen find out? 'As gripping as
Elizabeth is Missing' Elle 'Utterly compelling' Rosamund Lupton
'[A] satisfying, cathartic mystery' Jenny Colgan 'A compelling
modern family drama with witty and wonderful characters. Utter
bliss' Nina Stibbe, bestselling author of Love, Nina 'Intriguing
and entertaining' Observer
