THE GIRLS SHE LEFT BEHIND (LIZZIE SNOW, BK 2) by SARAH GRAVES
When they were young teenagers, two girls, cousins, sneaked out of their respective houses to go party. Then a parent's worst nightmare, the girls are abducted. They are taken somewhere and thrown into a basement equipped with cages. They are not alone ... there are others. One of the cousins escapes and because she's ashamed of what he did to her, she tells no one.
Fifteen years later, she sees on the news that 3 girls have been rescued ... one of them is her cousin. The kidnapper is 'mentally unstable' and now resides in a mental health facility until he is able to go to court.
So begins a twisted tale of love, hate, jealousy, revenge.
Lizzie Snow is investigating the disappearance of a 14-year-old girl who's been gone for a couple of days. Since her 18-year-old boyfriend is also missing, it is assumed they have run away together. But Lizzie feels like the mother is hiding... something.
I loved this book! Lizzie is a strong, accept no BS woman. And she absolutely will not tolerate anyone lying to her. You can ask her partner, Dylan .... he lied and said he was separated from his wife .. he wasn't. And there is no more relationship there, although the attraction is still evident. Dylan seems to be like a good guy .. a lousy husband, but basically a good man.
In this fairly small town there are all kinds of secondary players. Some are exactly what you see ... some aren't quite so open.
And all through this highly suspenseful story rages a forest fire .... the ashes falling over everything .. some people are staying, some are evacuating. It is so well-described, I could almost smell the fire. And the fire plays a huge part of this story.
I almost could not bear to put this one down! The author is one that I will keep my eye on. She does have another series, cozies ... but it's her two psychological mysteries that are drawing me in.
My heart-felt thanks to the author / Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine / NetGalley who furnished a digital copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
The book will be available January 12, 2016
