A gripping tale of missing persons and unsolved murders that are thrust into the online spotlight by a determined group of true-crime fans. Set in glorious Cornwall, this shrewd, suspenseful thriller is packed with wit, twists and pulse-pounding scenes. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Janice Hallett and Bella Mackie.

Life as a missing person is absolute murder...

When artist Eloise Ford hears that human remains found in an abandoned mine are believed to be those of long-missing teenager Elizabeth King, the shock sends her reeling.

It can''t be true. Eloise knows this for a fact because... she is Elizabeth King.

Now, her carefully curated life in Cornwall is falling apart. Her husband is acting strangely, her children aren''t speaking to her and she can''t sell a painting for love nor money. But much more worrying are the signs that someone knows exactly who she is... and why she had to vanish thirty years ago.

Eloise needs answers. Is her son''s ex-girlfriend just plain annoying... or does she know something? Will the detection skills of the online ''Truth Seekers'' group prove more than amateurish? What''s the real story behind those village newcomers?

And just how far would she go to keep her family, her friends, and her fraudulent life, safe?

----------

Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Lisa Jewell and Kristen Perrin, this clever, darkly comic thriller will keep you glued to the pages!
