See all titles by C.J. Tudor
Following hot on the heels of her runaway success The Chalk Man, C.J. Tudor is back with more of her unique blend of thriller-horror that combines knife-edge plotting with a touch of Stephen King in the mix. Moving back and forth between a historical child disappearance case and one man’s sinister return to the scene of the crime, Tudor ratchets up the tension to near-impossible levels in a brilliantly dark novel that delivers as many chills as thrills.
One night, Annie went missing. Disappeared from her own bed. There were searches, appeals. Everyone thought the worst. And then, miraculously, after forty-eight hours, she came back. But she couldn't, or wouldn't, say what had happened to her.
Something happened to my sister. I can't explain what. I just know that when she came back, she wasn't the same. She wasn't my Annie.
I didn't want to admit, even to myself, that sometimes I was scared to death of my own little sister.
'I rattled through The Taking of Annie Thorbe by C. J. Tudor - it reads like a Stephen King novel, and I can't think of a higher compliment than that!' - Simon Lelic
