Yorkshire, 1979<\/b><\/p>\n
Maggie Thatcher is prime minister, drainpipe jeans are in, and Miv is convinced that her dad wants to move their family Down South<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Because of the murders.<\/p>\n
Leaving Yorkshire and her best friend Sharon simply isn't an option, no matter the dangers lurking round their way; or the strangeness at home that started the day Miv's mum stopped talking.
Perhaps if she could solve the case of the disappearing women, they could stay after all?<\/p>\n
So, Miv and Sharon decide to make a list: a list of all the suspicious people and things down their street. People they know. People they don't.<\/p>\n
But their search for the truth reveals more secrets in their neighbourhood, within their families – and between each other – than they ever thought possible.<\/p>\n
What if the real <\/i>mystery Miv needs to solve is the one that lies much closer to home?<\/p>\n
