A BEST DEBUT OF 2024 BY BB

The instant Sunday Times bestseller

Yorkshire, 1979

Maggie Thatcher is prime minister, drainpipe jeans are in, and Miv is convinced that her dad wants to move their family Down South.

Because of the murders.

Leaving Yorkshire and her best friend Sharon simply isn't an option, no matter the dangers lurking round their way; or the strangeness at home that started the day Miv's mum stopped talking.
Perhaps if she could solve the case of the disappearing women, they could stay after all?

So, Miv and Sharon decide to make a list: a list of all the suspicious people and things down their street. People they know. People they don't.

But their search for the truth reveals more secrets in their neighbourhood, within their families - and between each other - than they ever thought possible.

What if the real mystery Miv needs to solve is the one that lies much closer to home?

Kritikerstimmen

A touching paean to lost innocence and the comfort of friendships, its dark undertow leavened by stout Yorkshire humour
I absolutely adore it! (Marian Keyes)
Godfrey succeeds brilliantly in fitting a gripping and moving story in the interstices of a horrific episode in recent history, without ever trivialising, taking focus from, or minimising the lasting impact of the original crimes.
There's been buzz around this novel - for good reason. Endearing characters and nostalgic details make this a must-read
One of the buzziest debuts of 2024, and deservedly so….prepare to have all the feelings
Fabulous. I loved Miv’s spirit
I can't believe this is a debut. Heavy themes handled with such tenderness and care, a moving, memorable tale of community, connection and curiosity. I loved it (Emma Gannon)
A heartwarming tale about the power of human connection, written with empathy, warmth and care. To read it is to feel that little bit better about life (Elizabeth Day)
[THE LIST OF SUSPICIOUS THINGS] was such a joyous read . . . the story spoke to me on so many levels. The characters are adorable and we all need an Aunty Jean in our lives . . . a beautiful story of friendship, community and family. Heartwarming (Zoe Ball)
Funny, poignant and drawn with real compassion. This is a heart-warming book (Emma Healey, author of ELIZABETH IS MISSING)

Coming of age at the end of 1970s/ early 80s in Yorkshire can’t have been much fun: job losses, an uncaring Margaret Thatcher and her policies but worst of all: The Yorkshire ripper, a mass murderer of women who terrorised an entire region for years. When her troubled family consider moving “down south”, Miv thinks tracking down the ripper will stop this, so she and her best friend make a list of suspicious things . None of the people on the list lead them to the Ripper, but they do discover an awful lot about their own neighbourhood and families.

An endearing, clever coming of age story for adults.
