Twenty years ago, six-year-old Ava Hart vanished during a lakeside festival and was presumed drowned.

Now investigative podcaster Emma Reed receives an anonymous email containing a photograph of Ava's distinctive charm bracelet and a chilling message:

I know where Ava is.

Returning to the small town she thought she had left behind forever, Emma begins reopening old wounds and asking dangerous questions. The deeper she digs, the more she uncovers a web of secrets hidden beneath decades of silence.

As forgotten memories resurface and trusted members of the community come under suspicion, Emma realises the truth about Ava's disappearance may have been hiding in plain sight all along.

Set against the backdrop of a close-knit lakeside town, The Last Missing Girl is a gripping psychological thriller about memory, identity, guilt, and the devastating consequences of a single choice.

Perfect for readers of Lisa Jewell, Lucy Foley, Gillian Flynn, and Paula Hawkins.
