<p><b>A MOVING, CAPTIVATING MYSTERY BELOVED BY READERS AND PERFECT FOR FANS OF <i>THE LIST OF SUSPICIOUS THINGS </i>AND</b><i><b> ELIZABETH IS MISSING<br></b></i><b><br>On a suburban street filled with secrets, 82 year old Edie Green must look back into the past to discover what happened to her friend Lucy, who went missing years before . . .</b><br><br><b>*Selected as an Indie Book of the Month*</b><br><br>It is 1951, and at number six Sycamore Street fifteen-year-old Edie Green is lonely. Living alone with her eccentric mother - who conducts seances for the local Ludthorpe community - she is desperate for something to shake her from her dull, isolated life.<br><br>When the popular, pretty Lucy Theddle befriends Edie, she thinks all her troubles are over. But Lucy has a secret, one Edie is not certain she should keep . . .<br><br>Then Lucy goes missing.<br><br>2018. Edie is eighty-two and still living in Ludthorpe. When one day she glimpses Lucy Theddle, still looking the same as she did at fifteen, her family write it off as one of her many mix ups. There's <i>a lot </i>Edie gets confused about these days. A lot she finds difficult to remember. But what she does know is this: she <i>must</i> find out what happened to Lucy, all those years ago . . .<br><br><b>'A captivating and poignant book, I was completely hooked.
