A dark and twisty read


Nita Prose, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE MAID


The tense and compelling new novel from the author of THE WIDOW


And THE CHILD.



Everyone watches their neighbors.


Elise King moves into the sleepy seaside town of Ebbing. Illness has thrown her career as a successful detective into doubt, but no matter how hard she tries to relax and recuperate, she knows that something isn't right.


Everyone lies about their friends.


Tensions are running high beneath the surface of this idyllic community: the weekenders in their fancy clothes, renovating old bungalows into luxury homes, and the locals resentful of the changes. A town divided, with the threat of violence only a heartbeat away.


Everyone knows a secret.


This peaceful world is shattered when two teenagers end up in hospital and a local man vanishes without trace. Elise starts digging for answers, but the community closes ranks, and the truth begins to slip through her fingers. Because in a small town like this, the locals are good at keeping secrets...


Everyone is a suspect when a local goes missing.


A fab, twisty-turny mystery


The Sun


Tense and full of reveals and twists. This compulsively dark mystery is a joy to read. Fiona Barton never disappoints!


LESLEY KARA


I was completely swept up in this story of a seaside town full of dark secrets - the pace was perfect, the characters so skilfully drawn and the ending was masterful. I loved it!


KATHERINE FAULKNER, author of Greenwich Park


Readers are gripped by Local Gone Missing!


Fiona Barton is a brilliant author, and her stories are utterly compelling. Like all her books, this one is simply a must read.
