The French Girl cover

A summer getaway turns into a nightmare when a captivating girl disappears, leading to a decade of secrets and a haunting discovery in The French Girl.

In The French Girl, a seemingly idyllic summer getaway for six British graduates takes a dark turn with the arrival of Severine, the alluring girl next door. Her presence disrupts the group's dynamics, igniting simmering tensions and hidden rivalries among friends. As they celebrate their last days together in the sun, Severine's captivating beauty draws each of them in, leading to an atmosphere charged with jealousy and longing. The carefree days by the pool quickly spiral into something far more sinister when Severine mysteriously disappears, leaving the group to grapple with their own secrets and regrets.

A decade later, the discovery of Severine's body at a farmhouse forces Kate Channing to confront a past she has tried to forget. As the police begin to investigate, suspicions arise, and the bonds of friendship are tested. Kate is haunted by memories of that fateful summer, and as she delves deeper into the events surrounding Severine's disappearance, she must navigate a web of deception and betrayal. The question looms: does she truly want to uncover the truth about what happened to the French girl?

The French Girl is a gripping tale of psychological suspense that explores themes of friendship, guilt, and the complexities of memory. As the narrative unfolds, readers are led on a journey filled with unexpected twists, ultimately revealing the dark undercurrents that can lie beneath the surface of seemingly perfect relationships.
