Hey there! 👋
If you’ve stumbled across this book, you’ve found one of my BookCrossing releases — Local Girl Missing by Claire Douglas. I left it at Bebington train station on the Wirral, inside the shelter on the Liverpool to Chester/Ellesmere Port line.
Bebington Station is close to home for me, and one of my favourite local spots to leave books. Every so often I’ll drop one off there and hope it finds its way to a new reader.
Maybe you’ve come across one of my books there before? If so, welcome back!
💬 About the Book
Twenty years ago
21-year-old Sophie Collier vanishes one night.
She leaves nothing behind but a trainer on the old pier –
and a hole in the heart of her best friend Francesca.
Now
A body’s been found.
And Francesca’s drawn back to the seaside town she’s tried to forget.
Perhaps the truth of what happened to Sophie will finally come out.
Yet Francesca is beginning to wish she hadn’t returned.
Everywhere she turns, ghosts from her past appear. The same old faces that always haunted her. But if someone knows what really happened to Sophie that night, then now’s the time to find out . . . Isn’t it?
Except sometimes discovering the truth can cost you everything you hold dear – your family, your sanity and even your life . . .
🚉 Why Bebington Station?
There’s something I really like about leaving books at train stations. They’re such in-between places, aren’t they? Full of movement, and people heading in different directions. Local Girl Missing felt like it belonged there somehow.
I’ve left a few titles around Bebington before, and it’s always lovely to think they might be keeping someone company on their commute.
💻 Track Its Journey
If you’ve found this one, you can log it at BookCrossing.com using the BCID number inside the cover. It lets me (and other readers) see where it’s been and where it ends up next.
Wherever you’re off to I hope you enjoy the read, and thanks for helping this book on its way!
Until next time….
