À propos de cet audio

The young woman standing on Lottie's step was a stranger. She was clutching the hand of a young boy. "Help me," she said to Lottie. "Please help me."

One Monday morning, the body of a young pregnant woman is found. The same day, a mother and her son visit the house of Detective Lottie Parker, begging for help to find a lost friend.

Could this be the same girl?

When a second victim is discovered by the same man, with the murder bearing all the same hallmarks as the first, Lottie needs to work fast to discover how else the two were linked. Then two more girls go missing.

Detective Lottie Parker is a woman on the edge, haunted by her tragic past and struggling to keep her family together through difficult times. Can she fight her own demons and catch the killer before he claims another victim?

The Stolen Girls is a gripping thriller that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of Rachel Abbott, Karin Slaughter, and Robert Dugoni.

I have missed a few nights sleep listening to this series! Patricia Gibney is an amazing writer. Always twists and turns to keep you engaged. I had to listen to the end several times just to figure out who the characters were and find out who done it. Well done 😁

Awesome series!

I had such high hopes when I found this series! I'm sooo disappointed.
The first book, I gave a bit of a pass to for having both the main character, D.I. Lottie Parker's son and her oldest daughter's boyfriend involved as victims/targets of the perpetrator. I mean, seriously . . . I have cop friends and NOTHING ever happens to their own families.
BUT, in the second book, her middle daughter, her partner, her partner's ex-wife, AND her dead husband (!!!) are ALL involved?! And her partner (who she's slept with) also just happened to get drunk, and of ALL of prostitutes in Ireland, he slept with the victim in the case they're investigating???
Really??? Are there only twelve people living in all of Ireland? Ms Gibney couldn't possibly have created other characters?
I can't even finish this book. I'll be returning it and will remove the rest of the series from my wish list.
The ONLY good thing I can say is I liked the narrator.
So disappointing.

Ok, so, I think the trick with these is to not listen to or read them one right after another, which just emphasizes the stuff that isn't great about it, and makes it harder to enjoy the good parts.
Which is what I did. Lesson learned.
They're entertaining stories, I like them, just... they frustrate me, too. Mainly because Lottie is such a sanctimonious POS cop. I can't. I just can't.
Why must "strong female character" always equate to messy maverick? I hate it. I am so tired of that trope. You can be a good cop and be a... good cop?
The thing is, so much time is devoted to her ridiculous family life. And she sucks at that, too.
At the risk of sounding sexist, I'm also not a huge fan of some of the prose, which I find stereotypically feminine. There's a lot of "feathered a kiss"-ing, and whole lot of use of the word "soft." Words that evoke romance, frailty, delicateness. For whatever reason, that makes me as uncomfortable as the opposite, extremely coarse and aggressive language. But yeah, that's a reader issue, not a writer one. Except her fondness for "feathered" and "feathering." That's just not ok.

ok
