Just Like the Other Girls

The gripping thriller from the author of THE COUPLE AT NO 9

CARER/COMPANION WANTED FOR ELDERLY LADY
* YOUNG FEMALE PREFERRED * COMPETITIVE SALARY *

*ROOM AND BOARD INCLUDED *

Una Richardson's heart is broken after the death of her mother. Seeking a place to heal, she responds to an advertisement and steps into the rich, comforting world of Elspeth McKenzie.

But Elspeth's home is not as it safe as it seems.

Kathryn, her cold and bitter daughter, resents Una's presence. But more disturbing is the evidence suggesting two girls lived here before. Two girls who ended up dead.

And now she sleeps in the same bed as they did.

Why will the McKenzies not talk about them?

What other secrets are locked inside this house? Can these girls lead Una to the truth?

And as the walls close in around her, Una fears she will end up just like the other girls . . .

Just Like the Other Girls is 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
