I'm most thankful to have taken part in the Tandem Collective readalong of Karin Slaughter's newest thriller, Girl, Forgotten!
(Thank you to HarperCollins Canada for my AD-PR Product for review!)
Girl, Forgotten is the second book to feature the character of Andrea Oliver from Pieces Of Her, though each can absolutely be read as standalones.
Andrea is a recent graduate of the U.S. Marshals training academy and assigned with new partner Bible to provide security for a judge receiving death threats.
She becomes interested in a murder case from 40 years earlier, that of 17-year-old Emily Vaughn. Who was pregnant by unknown means while drugged at a party, and daughter to the aforementioned judge, Esther Vaughn.
In true Slaughter fashion, this is a complex and dark story, with cliffhangers at every chapter. Timelines alternate from Emily's story in the early 80s, to Andrea's in present day.
As a longtime fan of Slaughter's books (I've read every single one except False Witness - must get on that!!), Girl, Forgotten is a definite favourite. While not as dark as some of her work, the story is absolutely enthralling from the first chapter.
For fans of superbly-crafted police procedurals with layers of reveals and twists awaiting, this one is definitely recommended!
Released on Aug. 23.
