What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Alice Teale is missing. In a town full of secrets, hers was the biggest.

The gripping new thriller from the bestselling author of The Chosen Ones.

As usual, seventeen-year-old Alice Teale walked out of school at the end of a bright spring day.

She's not been seen since.

Alice was popular and well-liked, and her boyfriend, friends and family are desperate to find her. But when the police start asking questions, it becomes clear that almost everyone has something to hide.

Torn between a host of suspects, Detectives Beth Winter and Lucas Black don't know which way to turn. But then they receive a disturbing package: pages from Alice's precious diary.

Who could have sent them? And have they done with Alice?

Critics Review

  • A masterful missing person thriller with great characters and plenty of twists – simply superb

    Steve Cavanagh, bestselling author of Thirteen

  • Delving into the complex world of a missing teenager, Linskey nails the adolescent voice to uncover a dark trail of secrets, lies and betrayal. This is page-turning fiction with real heart

    Isabel Ashdown

  • Alice Teale Is Missing is my kind of book. With exemplary prose and relentless plotting, Linskey puts shocking small town secrets under the microscope with superb results. The fresh-faced Beth Winter and the misanthropic Lucas Black are a pairing that shouldn’t work but absolutely do. Dogged and intuitive, they are beating heart of this story and I can’t wait to see where Linskey takes them next.

    MW Craven, bestselling author of The Puppet Show

  • A brilliantly plotted, perfectly clued story of the dark power of terrible truths. Compulsive reading from page one.

    Gytha Lodge, author of She Lies in Wait

  • He just keeps getting better and better. I was gripped by this one. Hooks you in and doesn’t let go. Strength in characterisation as always – I was sad to let this one go

    Luca Veste, author of The Six
