Sisters. Strangers. Survivors.

More than twenty years ago, Claire and Lydia’s teenaged sister Julia vanished without a trace. The two women have not spoken since, and now their lives could not be more different. Claire is the glamorous trophy wife of an Atlanta millionaire. Lydia, a single mother, dates an ex-con and struggles to make ends meet. But neither has recovered from the horror and heartbreak of their shared loss—a devastating wound that's cruelly ripped open when Claire's husband is killed.

The disappearance of a teenage girl and the murder of a middle-aged man, almost a quarter-century apart: what could connect them? Forming a wary truce, the surviving sisters look to the past to find the truth, unearthing the secrets that destroyed their family all those years ago . . . and uncovering the possibility of redemption, and revenge, where they least expect it.

Powerful, poignant, and utterly gripping, packed with indelible characters and unforgettable twists, Pretty Girls is a masterful novel from one of the finest writers working today.

Epic

Disclaimer: there are very detailed and gruesome aspects to the storyline at times. That aside, what a fantastic, grizzly thriller on every level.

Fantastic book

This story was fantastic. One of those that you don’t want to put down. The narration was great too. This is a must read.

Excellent characters and never a dull sentence! Hard to sleep until I finished!

Probably the best thrilled I have read. Loved the relationships of the sisters that are so different. The characters were well portrayed and the plot never lost steam. Very well written and developed.Sorry it ended and it was a long read!

the emotional depth

i loved how the story made me feel. it made me feel soo vulnerable like i was the characters in the book. i loved that because i had a hard time feeling, “feelings” i mostly kept them in to protect myself but as i read more, listen more those feelings come out soo easy making me feel what the author wants to make me feel and i love it

loved

so many twist and turns, keeps you on the edge of your seat. can't wait to read the prequel.
