The debut, which has been called “utterly gripping” by author Will Dean, will be published digital first in e-book and audio on 25th March 2021, followed by the hardback on 13th May 2021.

The publisher said: “When They Find Her is a suspenseful, conversation-provoking thriller that explores the reverberations of a single lie, placing the reader in the role of accomplice. It centres on Naomi, a mother who has lost custody of her young daughter. She is granted permission to have her child back for an overnight stay, but when the night ends in tragedy Naomi makes a split-second decision with huge repercussions.”

Charlotte Ritchie is an English actress, known for her roles as Alison in “Ghosts”, Oregon in Channel 4 comedy “Fresh Meat”, Hannah in “Siblings” and Barbara Gilbert in BBC drama “Call the Midwife”.

Middleton said: "As a fan of 'Ghosts' and 'Call the Midwife', I was thrilled to hear that Charlotte Ritchie would be narrating When They Find Her. I have been absolutely blown away by the emotion she has brought to the voice of Naomi, and how she has so perfectly captured both the love and darkness at the heart of the novel.”
