The Group Chat

Everyone on Larkspur Close has an opinion about what happened to Leonie. One of them is hers.

At 5:58 on Tuesday morning, a message lands in the Larkspur Close group chat.

Has anyone seen Leonie?

Her front door is wide open. Her car is still there. So is her bag.

But Leonie is gone.

Within hours, the quiet, picture-perfect close is alive with theories. The neighbours organise searches. Doorbell footage is checked. Old arguments are picked apart. And behind closed doors, everyone is asking the same question:

What happened to Leonie Marsh?

Rachel Denton knows something the others don't.

At 11:48 the night before Leonie disappeared, Rachel received a private message from her.

Come round. Need to talk.
Don't tell Dan.

Rachel went.

Now she's lying about it.

As the police investigation closes in and the neighbourhood group chat becomes a feeding ground for gossip, accusation and suspicion, Rachel begins to realise that almost everyone on Larkspur Close is hiding something.

Including her husband.

Including Leonie.

And on a street where everybody watches everybody else, the most dangerous secrets may be hiding in plain sight.

A compulsive psychological thriller about neighbours, secrets and the stories we tell when everyone is watching. Perfect for readers who love twist-filled domestic suspense, missing-person mysteries and seemingly ordinary communities where nothing is quite what it seems.
