Description

She was beautiful, popular and successful, the one they all wanted to be. So who, or what, was she running from?

When reclusive writer, Jock falls for vivacious Tea Shop owner, Sapphire, he is amazed that she seems to feel the same way about him. He watches with pride as Sapphire is crowned May Queen at the town's May Day celebrations, but his joy turns to heartbreak when she runs off into the crowd, never to return.

As the days pass, he becomes increasingly desperate. Everyone he speaks to seems to love Sapphire. No one has a bad word to say about her. So why did she run away like that, and what is stopping her from coming back?

The Perfect Girl is a claustrophobic British thriller set on the English/Welsh border.

Ideal for fans of Paula Hawkins, Julia Crouch, Rachel Abbott and S.J Watson

    I read a lot. I mean, a lot. So a lot of books are similar if not identical in plot. And I can usually tell who the “bad guy” is pretty quickly. But this one surprised me. I didn’t guess correctly. There were other aspects I found refreshing. It took a while for me to get into it and the beginning was a bit convoluted but once it all comes together it makes sense and is a wonderful read.

    Very good book. I enjoyed reading! It has moments to make you laugh, sob, sit on the edge of your seat. I couldn’t wait to pick it up and continue reading. Good job to the reader. Would like to see a movie from this.

    I can’t believe how much I enjoyed this book. I’m normally a scaredy-cat, but Lorna was able to make it too interesting at the beginning to put it down. Thanks for a good story that you really had to follow to enjoy every twist and turn.

    This is a great thriller with quite a bit of mystery as well. In fact, there are many twists and turns that kept me guessing to the end. I have read a few of this author's books and I have never been disappointed but this book really delivers. Wonderful, well-developed characters with a great story!
