Description

IF YOU ONLY READ ONE BOOK THIS YEAR, MAKE IT THE NEXT GIRL...

You thought he’d come to save you. You were wrong.

Oh my goodness! This was gripping and fast moving from page one.’ Southern and Sassy Wine Lady, 5 stars

Deborah Jenkins pulls her coat around her for the short walk home in the pouring rain. But she never makes it home that night. And she is never seen again…

Four years later, an abandoned baby girl is found wrapped in dirty rags on a doorstep. An anonymous phone call urges the police to run a DNA test on the baby. But nobody is prepared for the results. 

The newborn belongs to Deborah. She’s still alive...

THE GRIPPING THRILLER EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT – if you like Lisa Gardner, Robert Bryndza or Clare Mackintosh, you will absolutely love this. A completely unputdownable page-turner with an ending that will blow your mind.

**Each Gina Harte book can be read as part of the series or as a standalone**

    The story was intense and captivated me. I did not want to stop reading. It was very well written and realistic. I didn’t want the story to end.
  • Thrilling mystery

    This book kept me up at night trying to figure out the next thing. I only wish it had gone a bit more into the family’s life after the victim was found.

    I was hooked after reading the first few pages!! I loved the writing style and descriptive language used to capture the world. I could not put it down until I knew what happened. And boy was it rewarding! Definitely a must read. Onto the next adventures of DI Harte!

    I only read thrillers and am used to creepy storylines but this was just disturbing most of the time and depressing.

    This my first book I have read from Carla Kovach, I think the beginning of the book was to slow so I started reading a new book. I will comeback and finish reading it, it’s just not keeping my attention right now because of how slow it is. I will check out her other books when I get done with this one. The Next Girl ended up being to slow of a book but I did finish it.

    Less of a mystery and more of a police procedural. It’s about a woman who’s been abducted for 4 years and the police woman who is charged with finding her. It was an ok read but I wouldn’t read it again.
  • Keeps you guessing

    A mystery which keeps you saying who took her? I do warn it can be a trigger for abuse so be cautious. I couldn’t put it down.
  • WOW
