Every year, on the same night, a woman is taken from the streets of London. Gone without a trace; snatched by a killer who moves through the city like a ghost . . . Lex's wife is missing. She left for work on the morning of the July 7th bombings, and no one's seen her since. But was Olivia really among the attack victims? Or did she meet a different fate, like three other women on July nights before? Addie has a secret. On the night of the bombings, her dad came home covered in blood. At first she thought he was hurt in the attacks - and then her big sister Jessie found a woman's purse hidden in his room. The name on the driver's license? Olivia. Jessie says she wants to help. That's why she's taken a job as a nanny at Lex's house, looking after his baby. But she's keeping quiet about what she and Addie know. And she's getting a little too comfortable living Olivia's life . . .

Review

Fabulous. I love Phoebe Locke's last book, but this one - The July Girls - is even better. Stunningly original with a protagonist you'll love - author of Faking FriendsIt landed in my letter box yesterday morning and by the afternoon I'd devoured it! It's a gripping read and almost impossible to put down. - Jo Jakeman, author of Sticks and StonesLoved it as much as The Tall Man. Chilling, gripping and unputdownable with a wonderful protagonist. A must-read this summer - Karen Hamilton, author of The Perfect GirlfriendStayed up late last night to finish The July Girls, a beautifully written, expertly crafted thriller packed with genuine surprises. I also loved the contemporary London setting and how the book showed the coming of age of the heroine, and the city itself - Amy Heydenrych, author of Shame on YouThe July Girls sucked me in immediately with its vivid descriptions of London life in the wake of the July 7 bombings, as well as with its wonderfully engaging young protagonist, Addie. One of the most atmospheric and original thrillers I've ever read, The July Girls is full of twists and turns, and memorable, realistic characters. I didn't want it to end. It's a book I'll be thinking about for a long time. I can't wait to read what Phoebe writes next - Charlotte Duckworth, author of The RivalAfter her brilliant debut The Tall Man, Phoebe Locke has knocked it out of the park once again with The July Girls. Atmospheric and beautifully written, it really is stunningly good - Cass Green, author of In a Cottage In a WoodThe July Girls is an extraordinary novel that gets under your skin from the very first page. Shocking, yet subtle, the menace drips off every page, making it an almost unbearably good read. Such an intricate, absorbing story that more than delivers on its knock-out premise (and boy, is it a knock-out!) - Caz Frear, author of Sweet Little LiesThe July Girls is a page-turning, atmospheric thriller about a serial killer, but at the same time a sensitively written coming of age story with a wonderful central character. - Jenny Quintana, author of The Missing Girl
