I purchased Girl, Forgotten as soon as it became available. I had been anxiously waiting for the release as I have read everything Karin Slaughter has written. I needed another good story!

I loved it. I wasn't thrilled to see the character Andrea again. Amazing character development is all I got to say about that. Karin Slaughter wrote with the jumping timeless again. Each time the character switched, I wanted more. All in all, great read. Karin Slaughter has become one of my top 5 authors.

Like many others, I pre-ordered this book as soon as I heard it was coming out. I absolutely love Karin Slaughter books and like her others, this one did not disappoint. The end completely took me by surprise. I had my ideas about who killed Emily but the actual perp wasn't even on my radar.

KS has easily become one of my favorite authors and I eagerly anticipate her new releases. This book did not disappoint! She flawlessly intertwines mystery with emotions to keep you turning page after page. I elected for the audiobook because Kathleen Early always does a phenomenal job of narrating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review from me and I can’t wait for the next one!

Girl Forgotten is a fantastic character study of a group of high school friends who hang out together in the 1980's and what happens to them and those around them. It progresses to the present through the eyes of a newly minted Marshall who is assigned to investigate a case in their town. The Marshall's background is involved in the plot as well. This is a great book from start to finish.
