Taking of Annie Thorne
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'TERRIFIC IN EVERY WAY' LEE CHILD
You won't be able to put down the spine-tingling new novel from the author of The Chalk Man . . .

THEN
One night, my little sister went missing.
There were searches, appeals. Everyone thought the worst.
And then, miraculously, she came back.
She couldn't, or wouldn't, say what had happened.
But she wasn't the same afterwards. She wasn't my Annie.
Because sometimes my own little sister scared me to death . . .
NOW
The email arrives in my inbox:
I know what happened to your sister.
It's happening again . . .

C. J. Tudor’s love of writing, especially the dark and macabre, started young. When her peers were reading Judy Blume, she was devouring Stephen King and James Herbert. Over the years she has had a variety of jobs, including trainee reporter, radio scriptwriter, dog walker, voiceover, television presenter and copywriter.
She is now the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Chalk Man, The Taking of Annie Thorne, The Other People, The Burning Girls, The Drift and The Gathering. All of her books are in development or optioned for TV. The Burning Girls debuted on Paramount Plus in 2023 and is now available on Netflix. She is also the author of a short story collection, A Sliver of Darkness.
