Alice Teale is missing. In a town full of secrets, hers was the biggest... As usual, seventeen-year-old Alice Teale walked out of school at the end of a bright spring day. She's not been seen since. Detective Beth Winter knows that more often than not, the culprit is someone the victim knew. And it's soon clear that everyone in Alice's life seems to have something to hide. Then Beth receives a disturbing package- pages from Alice's precious diary. Who could have sent them And what have they done with Alice
A masterful missing person thriller with great characters and plenty of twists - simply superb * Steve Cavanagh, bestselling author of Thirteen *
Delving into the complex world of a missing teenager, Linskey nails the adolescent voice to uncover a dark trail of secrets, lies and betrayal. This is page-turning fiction with real heart * Isabel Ashdown *
Alice Teale Is Missing is my kind of book. With exemplary prose and relentless plotting, Linskey puts shocking small town secrets under the microscope with superb results. The fresh-faced Beth Winter and the misanthropic Lucas Black are a pairing that shouldn't work but absolutely do. Dogged and intuitive, they are beating heart of this story and I can't wait to see where Linskey takes them next. * MW Craven, bestselling author of The Puppet Show *
A brilliantly plotted, perfectly clued story of the dark power of terrible truths. Compulsive reading from page one. * Gytha Lodge, author of She Lies in Wait *
He just keeps getting better and better. I was gripped by this one. Hooks you in and doesn't let go. Strength in characterisation as always - I was sad to let this one go -- Luca Veste, author of The Six
