What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

I guess you're probably wondering about the next girl. Because there's always another girl, right? A girl waiting to be taken. To be swept away. I'll tell you about her.

It's been twenty years since Detective Chelsey Calhoun lost her sister, and she's been searching ever since: for signs, for closure, for other missing girls. Happy endings are rare in Chelsey's line of work.

Until one day, local teenager Ellie Black is found in Washington State woods. Two years after her disappearance, she's an echo of herself, but alive.

But something's not right about this girl. Where has she been, and who is she protecting?

Chelsey has to find out. For herself, for her sister, and before the next girl is taken.

'Magnetic. I couldn't put it down.' STEPHEN KING

Critics Review

Magnetic. I couldn’t put it down.

Stephen King

Immersive, gripping, and with a twist you won’t see coming

Ellery Lloyd

Incredible. The definition of a page-turner.

Clare Mackintosh

What a page-turner, and masterful in its structure with a truly shocking twist at the end. It’s an absolute winner for me.

Susan Lewis

An emotional gut punch of a thriller, Emiko Jean had me enthralled with her pitch-perfect pacing, elegant prose, and twists I never saw coming.

Samantha Downing

I stayed up late into the night turning the pages . . . a truly jaw-dropping twist.

Jessica Knoll

Brooding and atmospheric with a truly gripping plot. THE NEXT GIRL is an immersive experience.

Mary Kubica

‘Dark, twisted, and beautifully written. But it’s also a thoughtful exploration of trauma, female rage, the violence women face and the roles we’re allowed to play. I loved it.’

Andrea Bartz

A stunning novel that explores the endurance of the human spirit and asks how far someone would go for love.

Nikki Smith
