Set within the gritty streets of Stoke-on-Trent, this fast-paced British detective novel is a dark murder mystery with an emotional pull.
After an injury in the line of duty, DI Allie Shenton is on a phased return to work and has been allocated a cold case to investigate. Fifteen years ago, teenager Holly Rigby vanished from Forest Avenue, and the case was filed away unsolved.
But one crossed-out line and a missing statement in Holly's notes makes Allie question the last sighting, the official timeline, and the truth everyone accepted because it was easier.
As she reinterviews the people who knew Holly best – her mother, her closest friends – the stories don’t match. And when witnesses finally speak out, Allie realises something far worse than a runaway happened that night. Holly might not have left Forest Avenue, and someone in the original investigation went to great lengths to make sure nobody could prove it.
Twisted Lives is the ninth and final instalment in the Allie Shenton series of crime thrillers from the multi-million selling British author, Mel Sherratt, and perfect for fans of Helen Durrant, DS Butler, LJ Ross, Joy Ellis and Caroline Mitchell.
