Synopsis of The Altar Girls<\/h3>\n

<\/strong><\/span>
\nIn The Altar Girls, when Detective Lottie Parker<\/a> receives news that a child\u2019s body has been found in the frozen grounds of the cathedral, a shiver runs down her spine. She\u2019s terrified it will be eight-year-old Willow Devine, reported missing that morning.<\/p>\n

But when she arrives at the cathedral, holding a photo of Willow with her blonde ponytail and gap-toothed smile, she gets a terrible shock. The body is a young girl, wrapped in a white shroud, a rosary clutched in her frozen fingers. But her hair is dark, not fair. This girl isn\u2019t Willow but another eight-year-old, Naomi.<\/p>\n

Desperate to find a connection between the two girls and to find Willow before it is too late, Lottie<\/a> speaks to the girls\u2019 families and discovers that both girls were altar servers at the cathedral. The charismatic priest Father Maguire has a watertight alibi for the time the girls went missing, but Lottie suspects the confused old lady traumatised by the discovery of Naomi\u2019s body is hiding something\u2026<\/p>\n

A day later, Willow\u2019s little body is found wrapped in a white robe in the snowy grounds of a church across town. Lottie<\/a> is devastated, convinced now that she can\u2019t trust anyone, least of all the girls\u2019 parents. Why did Willow\u2019s mother claim the girls didn\u2019t know each other? And why are there no photos of Naomi in her mother\u2019s shabby house?<\/p>\n

But when a little boy from the choir goes missing too, Lottie<\/a> realises she must spread her net wider. Can she stop this twisted killer before another precious life is stolen?<\/p>\n
