I was on annual leave mid August 2024. I read 3 of Claire Douglas books over two weeks. I never have time or able to settle enough to actually read. However, Local Girl Missing ; The Couple at No. 9 and The Wrong Sister(read in one sitting, finished 3am). Currently reading The Woman who lied. My sister started reading them when she was ill with Cancer, I have carried on the obsession in her memory.
