Publisher's Summary

She didn’t notice the corn stalks shiver a few feet to her right. By the time she looked up, the man towered above her. In a single movement he wrapped one thick hand around her waist, the other he clamped over her mouth, muffling her screams.

Detective Clara Jefferies has spent years running from her childhood in Alber, Utah. But when she hears that her baby sister Delilah has disappeared, she knows that the peaceful community will be shattered, her family vulnerable, and that that she must face up to her past and go home.

Clara returns to find that her mother, Ardeth, has isolated her family by moving to the edge of town, in the shadow of the mountains. Ardeth refuses to talk to the police and won’t let Clara through the front door, believing she and her sister-wives can protect their own. But Clara knows better than anyone that her mother isn’t always capable of protecting her children.

When Clara finds out that two more girls have disappeared, all last seen around the cornfields near her family’s home, she realizes it’s not just Delilah who’s in danger. And then she gets a call that a body has been found...

Clara will have to dig deep into the town’s secrets if she’s going to find Delilah. But that will mean confronting the reason she left. And as she gets closer to Delilah, she might be putting her more at risk...

Gripping and spine-chilling, listeners will love Detective Clara Jefferies, listening to The Fallen Girls deep into the night.

A little drawn out

I enjoyed this book, the premise of a predator among a polygamist society who keep to their own and don’t want to involve the police was interesting. It became even more interesting when it becomes evident that the investigator they call in cut ties from her family and their extreme religious belief systems. I found the book was a little drawn out toward the second half but over all a good read, it didn’t capture me enough to make me want to continue with the series.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
