Haven't They Grown

Sophie Hannah's unguessable thrillers have readers hooked! 'INGENIOUS! I challenge anyone to unravel this clever whodunit' ----- 'Sophie Hannah could well be our modern Christie, such a deliciously complicated plot. Her best yet!!' ----- 'This murder mystery really did blow my mind. It kept me awake at night! Absolutely brilliant' ----- 'This lived up to its press for me. I loved every page -- a truly impossible puzzle!!' ----- *WINNER OF THE 2023 CWA DAGGER IN THE LIBRARY* All Beth has to do is drive her son to his Under-14s away match, watch him play, and bring him home. Just because she knows that her former best friend lives near the football ground, that doesn't mean she has to drive past her house and try to catch a glimpse of her. Why would Beth do that, and risk dredging up painful memories? She hasn't seen Flora Braid for twelve years. But she can't resist. She parks outside Flora's house and watches from across the road as Flora and her children, Thomas and Emily, step out of the car. Except... There's something terribly wrong. Flora looks the same, only older - just as Beth would have expected. It's the children that are the problem. Twelve years ago, Thomas and Emily Braid were five and three years old. Today, they look precisely as they did then. They are still five and three. They are Thomas and Emily without a doubt - Beth hears Flora call them by their names - but they haven't changed at all. They are no taller, no older. Why haven't they grown? READERS ADORE SOPHIE HANNAH'S UNGUESSABLE THRILLERS: 'Compulsive reading literally all through the night' ----- 'Couldn't put it down!

I have one word for it: UNBEATABLE' 'Absolutely hooked right from the first chapter. I couldn't put it down, literally' ----- 'It just had to be 5 stars, more if I could' ----- 'I urge you to read, you will NOT be disappointed' -----
