Just Like The Other Girls: A Novel

Written by Claire Douglas

Narrated by Georgia Maguire

“A chilling novel showcasing Claire Douglas's trademark brilliantly claustrophobic settings and tightly plotted twists. Impossible to know which of the well-drawn characters to trust and very hard to put down.”—Gilly MacMillan, bestselling author of What She Knew

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Do Not Disturb, an electrifying tale of psychological suspense in which an unsuspecting young woman finds herself trapped in an increasingly sinister web of mystery and lies.

But Elspeth's home isn’t the comforting haven it seems.

Kathryn, her cold and bitter daughter, resents Una's presence. More disturbing is evidence suggesting two girls lived here before her.

What happened to the young women?

Why won’t the McKenzies talk about them? 

What are they hiding?

As the walls begin to close in around her, Una fears she'll end up just like the other girls . . .

[Cienna Tilgner · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

GREAT story!! I had so many theories about the ending but it was something else entirely. Characters are very developed and well thought out. Narrator’s voice was lovely to listen to.

[meboles · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Well written with great characters, very suspenseful. Excellent audio performance! It keeps you guessing throughout, but there's no hope of actually figuring out who the murderer is because vital info and a new character are revealed only very near the end of the book -- I felt a little ripped off as a result.

[Joanne Donato · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

[Latrice Johnson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Pretty good story. I was jumping like popcorn at the end from one suspect to another. I like the way it ended.

[Opal Brown · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book has you guessing at every turn and has an interesting plot, and even better ending.

[Jan Warren · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A bit drawn out…predictable, but well written. Great characters to follow

[Nina Quartuccio · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

A couple of times I threatened myself to stop listening but something kept me going. It wasn't the most suspenseful but it was well written and the twist was not predictable. Most of the major characters were well developed and the secondary ones were able to play out their rolls. I think more suspense on the part of the culprit might have pushed things further. Making more of a sinister vibe earlier and in more depth would have gone along way, the attempt was there but just missing the mark.

Really good book. I did not guess the ending at all! One twist after another. There were couple of things unexplained and weird but the book overall was fantastic!

[Olivia Drier · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Good book! Lots of twists! Highly recommend! I love the narrator.
