BESTSELLER NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER OF THE BRITISH AMAZON, THE DEBUT OF 2024 ACCORDING TO BBC, RED, GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, THE BOOK HAS BEEN TRANSLATED INTO 19 LANGUAGES, THE RIGHTS HAVE BEEN SOLD IN 20 COUNTRIES, LET's make A list. Anyone who seems suspicious to us. We will cross out the innocent, one by one. And only the killer will remain.... Summer of 1979. Skinny jeans have just become fashionable in England, and families gather in the evenings in front of the flickering screen of the only TV. Twelve-year-old schoolgirls Miv and Sharon are waiting for an unusual vacation. There is a serial killer operating in their sleepy town, who has already been dubbed the Yorkshire Ripper. And since the police don't have an official version, and adults are whispering in kitchens and hiding newspapers from children, the best friends start their own list of suspects. All the "strange" residents of the town fall into it: from the owner of the grocery store to the introverted boy from the next street. People they know well and who they don't know at all. And although their methods of investigation are rather naive, Miv and Sharon learn much more about their neighbors, their neighborhood, and even about each other than they would like. And what if the main clue that the friends are trying to find becomes the end? Friendship. Childhood. And someone's life...
