This is a very well written multi generational story with many threads that come together well. Told primarily from the viewpoint of police superintendent Jo both in the present day and back when she was a young wpc in the 1970s when she was haunted by several tragic events including a fire that took the lives of Daisy and Holly’s parents leaving them to face life in a care home which Jo has concerns about. This is well balanced by chapters from Daisy’s point of view aim present day as well as some featuring Jo’s mum back in wartime when she worked at Bletchley. These are all really strong female characters which combined with a great storyline make for a great read. The author does a great job of hinting at the direction things are going in but it’s interesting to see the characters uncover things and the conclusion is dramatic. 9/10

Disappearances and deaths all linked to a children's home. A policewoman must revisit her past and an unsolved cold case to try and figure out what links all the past and present crimes.
A good pacy thriller with a few twists and turns. I would recommend.

I absolutely loved The Girls left Behind. I thought it was very well written with characters who had depth. I particularly enjoyed how it changed the years and went back to the past and my favourite parts were those about Bletchley, I could have read a story just about that. Everything was relevant and lead to the culmination at the end. Very good once and I would highly recommend
