Críticas:

"Gilly Macmillan introduces some smart variations on the [missing child] theme in her debut mystery...Macmillan enlivens the narrative with emails, newspaper headlines, passages from professional journals, even transcripts from Inspector Clemo's sessions with a psychotherapist. But her best move is to include vicious blog posts that go viral."--New York Times Book Review

"A nuanced, completely addictive debut."--People

Praise for The Perfect Girl: "Gilly Macmillan (What She Knew) deftly explores the intricacies of relationships and the bonds that tie families all while ratcheting up the suspense in this page-turning thriller."--Real Simple magazine

"A wonderfully addictive book with virtuoso plotting and characters -- for anyone who loved Girl on the Train, it's a must read."--Rosamund Lupton

PRAISE FOR THE PERFECT GIRL "A compelling read for fans of psychological suspense."--Library Journal review

"I DEVOURED The Perfect Girl. An incredible page turner with awesome characters and suspense. Bravo."--Kate White, New York Times bestselling author

"Macmillan captivates readers with a story just as addictive as her first... [and] shines when exploring the intricacies of relationships... Fans of Tana French, Ruth Ware, and Gillian Flynn will become completely entrenched in the unfolding details."--BookPage

"With lovely prose, depth of character and an intelligent narrative, Macmillan lifts the level of suspense with stiletto-like precision: a tiny graze here, a shallow cut there and, eventually, a thrust into the heart. At once profoundly unsettling and richly rewarding."--Richmond Times-Dispatch

"A very clever, tautly plotted page turned from a terrific new writer"--Good Housekeeping

"Heart-in-the-mouth excitement from the start of this electrifyingly good debut...an absolute firecracker of a thriller that convinces and captivates from the word go. A must read."--Sunday Mirror

Reseña del editor:

 How well do you know the people you love...?

Best friends Noah Sadler and Abdi Mahad have always been inseparable.  But when Noah is found floating unconscious in Bristol's Feeder Canal, Abdi can't--or won't--tell anyone what happened.

Just back from a mandatory leave following his last case, Detective Jim Clemo is now assigned to look into this unfortunate accident.  But tragedy strikes and what looked like the simple case of a prank gone wrong soon ignites into a public battle.  Noah is British.  Abdi is a Somali refugee.   And social tensions have been rising rapidly in Bristol.  Against this background of fear and fury two families fight for their sons and for the truth.  Neither of them know how far they will have to go, what demons they will have to face, what pain they will have to suffer.

Because the truth hurts.
