They Say a Girl Died Here

'Truly brilliant. Genius work' HARRIET TYCE 'A page-turning suspense masterclass with a mind-blowing twist' CHRIS WHITAKER IN THIS TOWN, EVERYONE KNOWS EVERYONE. BUT SOMEBODY KNOWS MORE THAN THEY THINK... Anna Maybourne dropped out of university to move to the farming town of Harper's Creek with her mother, sister and grandmother. They don't talk about why. They hoped being back home might help Grandma's dementia. But it only descends deeper - while Anna becomes obsessed with the murder of two local girls, exactly three years apart. The case was closed, but as the next three-year anniversary looms, the town prays, worries, and waits. But Anna believes that the killer is watching - and that Grandma somehow knows more than she should. They say both are, in their own ways, mad. Because when Grandma speaks, only Anna understands that instead of being over, the mystery seems like it's starting again... A murder mystery unlike any other: full of secrets, suspense, and a shocking twist that could only come from the mind of Sarah Pinborough... *** PRAISE FOR THEY SAY A GIRL DIED HERE 'Absolutely enthralling' LIZ NUGENT 'I love Sarah's books but this is Next Level' FIONA CUMMINS 'A tense, gripping, genre-bleeding powerhouse' TARIQ ASHKANANI PRAISE FOR SARAH PINBOROUGH 'Pinborough writes like an absolute dream' RICHARD OSMAN 'Sarah Pinborough is a twisted genius' LISA JEWELL 'A cracking good story...
