Firstly I want to say thank you to Amazon Publishing Tandem Collective and Claire McGowan for having me on the readalong for this.
The First Girl is the story of Karen, her first love and best friend is in prison, the serial killer known as the Bagman.
Kate ran to the other side of the world to escape her small Yorkshire home town as soon as Aaron was imprisoned, but years later when another girl goes missing she is drawn back into the world she tried so desperately to get away from.
Claire does such a good job of keeping you engaged and guessing, just when you think you figured out what is happening another twist comes along and everything changes.
This book is full of complicated relationships, secret history, revelations and murder.
I do not want to spoil this for anyone as I think it is best enjoyed to go in blind with as little knowledge as possible. All you need to know is if you enjoy a twister thriller then this (like all Claire’s book) I can highly recommend.
