“This is an unputdownable book!! An emotional rollercoaster of a ride with a thrilling surprise ending.” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sunlight dances over eight-year-old Lucy Carmichael’s long black hair as she plays in her family's lush back garden. The garden’s fenced but it needn’t be – in this close-knit island community, everybody knows everybody and people rarely lock their doors.

Lucy glances towards the huge bank of floor-to-ceiling windows at the back of the house, and grins. They’re having pizza tonight; it’s her favourite. Time to go inside.

But, as she bends to scoop up her battered schoolbag, the little girl catches a flicker of movement to her left. Something – someone? – rushing towards her. Fear blossoms in her chest but, before she can react, it’s too late.

Her parents’ world has been shattered in an instant. Lucy Carmichael is gone.

And she’s only the first.

An absolutely gripping and heart-pounding thriller that will have you racing to the end. Fans of Angela Marsons, Rachel McLean and J M Dalgliesh will be hooked on The Stolen Ones.
