Thomas and Diane Watts are a couple looking forward to a relaxing holiday at a grand Victorian hotel on the Cornish coast. But from the moment they set out on the road, something strange follows them. Thomas catches a glimpse of a little girl's face staring back at him from the rear-view mirror, a face that should not be there. What begins as an unsettling curiosity quickly turns into something far more difficult to brush off. As the weekend unfolds, the mysterious girl keeps appearing in mirrors, windows, and even the television screen. Their car behaves as if something else is in control, and the people around them begin to notice too. The hotel itself seems to hold its breath, with unexplained sounds, flickering lights, and an atmosphere that feels just slightly off. The Mirror Girl is a quietly gripping supernatural mystery that builds its tension through small, creeping details rather than loud scares. James Pithouse pulls the reader in gradually, turning an ordinary holiday into a haunting experience that leaves both his characters and readers searching for answers about who the girl is and what she is trying to say.
