The List Of Suspicious Things

The List Of Suspicious Things

A heartfelt coming-of-age mystery where childhood curiosity uncovers truths far closer to home than anyone expected.

Set in Yorkshire, England, in 1979, The List of Suspicious Things is the acclaimed debut novel by Jennie Godfrey, inspired by the fear and uncertainty surrounding the real-life Yorkshire Ripper murders. Twelve-year-old Miv is desperate to stop her family from leaving the only home she has ever known. Convinced that solving the mystery behind the disappearances will change everything, she and her best friend Sharon create a list of all the "suspicious" people and events in their neighbourhood. What begins as an innocent investigation gradually leads them to hidden family secrets, unexpected friendships, and difficult truths about prejudice, loss, courage, and growing up. Told with warmth, humour, and emotional depth, the novel beautifully captures the transition from childhood innocence to a deeper understanding of the adult world.

An instant USA Today bestseller, The List of Suspicious Things has been widely praised for its moving storytelling, memorable characters, and sensitive portrayal of friendship and resilience during a turbulent moment in British history. Blending literary fiction, historical mystery, and coming-of-age drama, it is a compelling read for anyone who enjoys emotionally rich novels with unforgettable characters.
