Publisher's Summary

From the New York Times bestselling author of Pieces of Her comes an electrifying thriller featuring newly minted US Marshall Andrea Oliver as she investigates a cold case with links to her father’s past.

A small town hides a big secret.

Who killed Emily Vaughn?

A girl with a secret. Longbill Beach, 1982. Emily Vaughn gets ready for the prom. For an athlete, who is smart, pretty and well-liked, this night that should be the highlight of her high school career. But Emily has a secret. And by the end of the evening, that secret will be silenced forever.

An unsolved murder.

Forty years later, Emily’s murder remains a mystery. Her tight-knit group of friends closed ranks; her respected, wealthy family retreated inwards; the small town moved on from her grisly attack. But all that’s about to change.

One final chance to uncover a killer.

US Marshal Andrea Oliver arrives in Longbill Beach on her first assignment: to protect a judge receiving death threats. But, in reality, Andrea is there to find justice for Emily. The killer is still out there—and Andrea must discover the truth before she gets silenced, too.

Loved It

I read pieces of Her and really enjoyed it so I looked for another of Karin’s books and came up with this one. Perfect! Little did I know it was a sequel. I enjoyed this book even more. It has it all. Action, mystery, intrigue and exceptionally well developed characters. My only negative comment is that if the main character bit her lip so hard that it bled that often, she would likely need medical attention. Other than that, I loved the book. And the narrator was simply perfect.

Girl, Forgotten

It was a big lengthy and I’m sure an abridged version would save time and still be enjoyable.. The bounding between time frames is not to my liking but so many readers are doing it.
Lots of characters to track of.
Would I read it again? No.

Pretty Good Book.

I really like Karin Slaughter and I love the narrator, Kathleen Early. Her voice is very easy to listen to and she reads with natural enthusiasm. So much so, that I look for books read by her. She brings the stories to life. This book was pretty good. I liked that it was a prequel to Pieces of Her. I thought I had it figured out and then was surprised by ending. Would recommend for easy listening and it keeps your attention.

Riveting!

Great read! Loved the flow of the book, going back and forth from current day to the past. It provided a real depth to the characters. I’ve read most of the books by this author - this is my fave to date!

Good Story benefited from Great Narration

Most of my book reading/listening is non-fiction. So "Girl, Forgotten" was intended to be a light diversion from the norm. It fit the bill. A good 'page-turner', enhanced greatly by skillful narration.
