Girl Unknown

The unputdownable SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER with a heart stopping twist . . .





'Families don't just come apart because a thread has loosened. The break when it comes is sharp, brutal. It takes ripping and hacking to sever those ties.'

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Girl Unknown by Karen Perry, read by Conor Maloney, Tracy Keating and Richard Flood.

When Zoe Barry walks into Professor David Connolly's office and announces that she is his daughter, he is left reeling. Suddenly his family - imperfect, flawed, but working - is trying to find space for someone new.

But Zoe's stories don't quite add up and lies become indistinguishable from truths. The family struggle to make sense of whether she is a sister, a daughter, a friend, an enemy. But no one could have expected where it all might end.

Because they have let into their home a girl that they do not know. And now everything they have built has begun to violently, determinedly, break apart.

Stunning

Simon Mayo Radio 2 Book Club

I shot through this in one sitting. Like Gone Girl, it's told alternately by a husband and his wife. At the very beginning, something very shocking happens . . . It's the most gripping thing I've read for ages

Evening Standard

Beautifully written, tense and twisty tale

Sunday Mirror

The book is beautifully written, with just the right balance of teasing the reader with clues and hitting them with revelations

Best Crime Fiction of 2015, The Telegraph

This is an intense and subtle story with some wonderfully poetic passages and a character driven plot which becomes more compelling as the sense of momentum gathers and the true version of events is slowly revealed. Gripping stuff
