About this audiobook

A blistering and shocking thriller that takes you on a taut and compelling journey to find the truth behind the story of a missing teen, a murdered nun, and the dark secret that connects them. Perfect for fans of SWEET LITTLE LIES, THE ROANOKE GIRLS and THE GIRLS WHO DISAPPEARED.

That's just it, they're secrets. They're not meant to be found out.

A MURDERED WOMAN.
Summer, 1972. Sister Francesca Pepitone was found strangled in a parking lot on the outskirts of Boweridge.

A MISSING GIRL.
A week later, seventeen-year-old Minna Larson disappeared. No one has seen or heard from her since.

A SMALL TOWN.
The cases were never linked, and neither was solved. For some, it was a scar that never healed. Others simply forgot.

A DARK PAST.
Now, over forty years later, Minna's niece Maggie learns that days before vanishing, Minna was telling people she knew who had murdered Sister Fran, and that she had the evidence to prove it.

Except no one believed her because there was one thing everyone could agree on . . .
Minna Lies
