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.

‘Absolutely the best thriller I’ve read this year!’ Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars
‘I absolutely, totally and utterly LOVED reading The Next Girl… has to be one of my top reads of 2018.' Ginger Book Geek, 5 stars
‘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**

  • Waste of time, absolutely skip this one.

    Let me say that I never write reviews but am compelled to because this one is a complete waste of the time you are alive. I skimmed this book and even that was a waste of time. Anyone who thinks this is good is probably in third grade. Then again I’m used to reading writing that’s George RR Martin-level caliber so maybe I’m asking too much from a free book. Not twisty, predictable, bad writing, flat characters, no meaningful relationships between them, overused phrases (“he sobbed” is written maybe close to 25 times). The characters are absolutely forgettable including the main character. Somehow her DV background and Debbie’s imprisonment are dead boring to read. This is advertised as having a twist. Where, pray tell?? This book is a prime example of telling (badly) and not showing. This reads like a timeline and none of the dramatics feel dramatic.

  • Great read

    As soon as I started this book I couldn't put my iPad down. It is well written and kept me engaged the entire read. I can't wait to start the second book of the series.

    Loved the first book of this series. I could not put this book down. A little confusing at the start as it went back & forth but it’s yelling different characters stories that will eventually all come together. Can’t wait to read the second book!

  • Great Read

    This is probably one of the best book I have read. It has a great storyline!

  • Main character is just not very likable

    What I found most predominantly is that the main character is not very likable. She makes a lot of excuses to not be a good mom to her daughter but doesn’t do much to improve the relationship and does/says unuseful things like going to the house of the husband of the victim with no updates but just to ask if they have any new findings. There is an obsession with detailing a common cold going around that adds nothing to the story. The fact that they figure out who kidnapped her is not found through their investigation at all but is kinda of just found out in the end. The title also doesn’t really make sense. I finished it but again the main character was quite distracting. It does a good job to show the difficulty in police cases, hopefully that’s what they were going for. Honestly sometimes it just seemed that the main character wasn’t good at her job but would confidently say she needed to be the one to solve the case. Wouldn’t recommend.
