Sisters. Strangers. Survivors.

More than twenty years ago, Claire and Lydia’s teenaged sister Julia vanished without a trace. The two women have not spoken since, and now their lives could not be more different. Claire is the glamorous trophy wife of an Atlanta millionaire. Lydia, a single mother, dates an ex-con and struggles to make ends meet. But neither has recovered from the horror and heartbreak of their shared loss—a devastating wound that's cruelly ripped open when Claire's husband is killed.

The disappearance of a teenage girl and the murder of a middle-aged man, almost a quarter-century apart: what could connect them? Forming a wary truce, the surviving sisters look to the past to find the truth, unearthing the secrets that destroyed their family all those years ago . . . and uncovering the possibility of redemption, and revenge, where they least expect it.

Powerful, poignant, and utterly gripping, packed with indelible characters and unforgettable twists, Pretty Girls is a masterful novel from one of the finest writers working today.

Jamie’s review

I love a good mystery/thriller and while I loved the writing and was out of my mind with the suspense in this book, it was jut too dark and demented for my liking.

I don't think I can properly summarize without spoiling it, so I'll just say that girls are going missing in the Atlanta area and this story follows the family of one of those girls.

I was on the edge of my seat and sweating practically the entire time. I can remember halfway through thinking "how can this keep going for another 200 pages?!" But it just keeps getting darker and more twisted the more you read. I was hate reading by the end because I needed to know how it ended.

Nobody can be trusted. Stressful, terrible, sad.
