Book Title: Leave the Girls Behind
Author: Jacqueline Bublitz
From the acclaimed author of Before You Knew My Name comes Leave the Girls Behind, a gripping suspense thriller that deftly examines how violent crime echoes through the lives of survivors and those left in its wake.
Ruth-Ann Baker has spent nineteen years haunted by the murder of her childhood friend and her unshakable belief that convicted killer Ethan Oswald wasn’t working alone. But when another girl goes missing from her hometown, Ruth is driven to uncover the truth, even as Oswald lies dead. Crossing from New York to New Zealand, Ruth’s quest pulls her into the lives of three women—one of whom may hold the answers Ruth desperately seeks, not just about the crimes but about herself.
Jacqueline Bublitz’s signature style—tautly suspenseful and deeply human—shines through in this tale of trauma, resilience, and the lengths one woman will go to for justice. Perfect for fans of The Lovely Bones and Big Little Lies, this is a novel that will stay with you long after the final page.
