The old Victorian pier was a thing of beauty until it was allowed to decay. It was where the youth of Oldcliffe-on-Sea would go to hang out. It's also where twenty-one-year-old Sophie Collier disappeared eighteen years ago.
Francesca Howe, known as Frankie, was Sophie's best friend, and even now she is haunted by the mystery of what happened to her. When Frankie gets a call from Sophie's brother, Daniel, informing her that human remains have been found washed up nearby, she immediately wonders if it could be Sophie, and returns to her old hometown to try and find closure. Now an editor at a local newspaper, Daniel believes that Sophie was terrified of someone and that her death was the result of foul play rather than "death by misadventure," as the police claim.
Daniel arranges a holiday rental for Frankie that overlooks the pier where Sophie disappeared. In the middle of winter and out of season, Frankie feels isolated and unnerved, especially when she is out on the pier late one night and catches a glimpse of a woman who looks like Sophie. Is the pier really haunted, as they joked all those years ago? Could she really be seeing her friend's ghost? And what actually happened to her best friend all those years ago?
Harrowing, electrifying, and thoroughly compelling, Local Girl Missing showcases once again bestselling author Claire Douglas' extraordinary storytelling talent.
KayCliff: Both novels have multiple points of view, an unreliable narrator, and a complex, clever plot, but only Gone Girl is stuffed with filthy language.
Dit boek heb ik weliswaar in een dag uitgelezen, maar het is dan ook nog vakantie. Wel een spannend, maar beetje rommelig boek. Met een verrassend einde, dat maakt het dan net een 7,5 ( )

Boekbeschrijving
Bijna twee decennia geleden verdween de 21-jarige Sophie Collier. Ze werd voor het laatst gezien op de oude victoriaanse pier in het kustplaatsje Oldcliffe.
Frankie Howe wordt al twintig jaar geteisterd door nachtmerries over de verdwijning van haar beste vriendin. Ze is naar Londen verhuisd om de vreselijke herinneringen zo ver mogelijk achter zich te laten. Maar wanneer ze een telefoontje krijgt van Sophies broer, die haar vertelt dat er een lichaam is gevonden, weet ze dat ze niet langer kan weglopen voor het verleden.
Angstig voor de emoties die loskomen als de oude wonden weer worden opengereten, keert Frankie toch terug naar het dorp waar ze opgroeide. Wat niemand daar weet, is dat Frankie een geheim met zich meedraagt. Maar wat Frankie niet weet, is dat ze niet de enige is die iets verborgen houdt.
