A moving mystery about family secrets, grief and growing up, for fans of Joanna Cannon, Jo Browning Wroe, The Appeal and Elizabeth is Missing

Summer, 1995. July Hooper knows eighteen things about her mother.

Like number thirteen- she loved dancing on the kitchen table. And number eight- she was covered in freckles.

And then there's number two- she died after being hit by a car when July was small.

She keeps this list hidden in a drawer away from her father. Because they're not allowed to talk about her mother. Ever.

But an anonymous note slipped into July's bag on her tenth birthday is about to change everything she thinks she knows about her mum...

'If you liked Elizabeth is Missing, you'll love this' CARA HUNTER, author of Close to Home

'July is such a brilliant creation - smart, inquisitive and determined' T.M. LOGAN, author of The Catch

'A moving and heartfelt mystery. Funny, thrilling, nostalgic and deeply affecting' CHRIS WHITAKER, author of We Begin at the End

Reviews for What July Knew: Will you discover the truth in this summer’s most heart-breaking mystery?

Touchingly effective in conveying a childhood loved in fear * The Sunday Times * If you liked Elizabeth is Missing, you'll love this * Cara Hunter * Big-hearted novel. By turns charming and shocking, it's both a deftly-woven mystery and a redemptive family drama - and I was cheering July on all the way * Emylia Hall * A heartstopping, heartbreaking, heartwarming drama. I was with brave and funny July down every alley, wrong turn and misstep until she finally found out the shocking truth. She'll live on in my imagination for a long time * Joanna Nadin * Tenderly told and utterly compelling, this coming-of-age mystery is as full of twists and surprises as it is of heart. July is an unforgettable lead - I loved following her back to the 90s! * Emma Stonex *
