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**

This book was a real page turner. I couldn’t put it down. Really well written. We see the story from each persons perspective, Gina, Deborah, Luke and “him” I love a book with lots of small chapters. It gives you the option of reading a little then going back to it. Personally I couldn’t stop, after each chapter I need to read the next. Can’t wait to see where this one goes. Carla Kovach thank you for such a great book. Now for the next book in the series ❤️

After reading all the great reviews I was very much looking forward to this book, but did not enjoy it at all. Lacklustre characters and some which were entirely pointless. A rushed ending and generally a complete waste of time.
Quite gripping

Took me a little while to get into the story as it was leisurely paced, however once it started to really get into the storyline I couldn’t read it fast enough . Looking forward to reading more in this series.

I think I read this in a day, couldn’t put it down and would recommend. Slight annoyance that it could for sure do with another proofread… starting with the prologue referring to a Loch as a Lock I nearly put it down because it wound me up. If you forgive these slight mistakes it’s worth it however for the good story ☺️
No thanks

I couldn’t like this book no matter how hard I tried. I found it flat and lacking suspense.

I also found Gina’s frequent visits to the Jenkins house unnecessary at times and repetitive; it often felt like she was there just because she felt like seeing them or something.

I generally didn’t like the story. I thought it would get better as I went on but it didn’t and by the time I realised this, I was too far in and simply decided to finish.
BEST. BOOK. EVER!

Really engaging, however, it could be more descriptive as it was hard to imagine the scenes, and the plot was slightly predictable.
4/5

Wanted something that was an easy read and certainly read this quickly, not sure if would describe as a page turner though. Strange way to end a book, and not one I would read again..
Gripping from start to finish

Very unrealistic policing to much coffee.
Not really a very good read.
There are much better books.
2.5/5 OK but rushed ending
HappyAirBrush
17-01-2025
OK so it was an OK book, a lot of unnecessary/filling with personal lives of the police that didn’t have any impact or ending/resolution. The ending wasn’t great, it was very quick with no updates, Debbie didn’t get to say anything about how she felt. Kind of rushed and it was quite a let down sadly.
