About this listen

She thought he’d come to save her. She was wrong.

Deborah Jenkins pulls her coat around her as she sets out on her 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.

If you love Lisa Gardner, Patricia Gibney and Robert Bryndza, you’ll love this jaw-dropping new crime thriller from Carla Kovach. The Next Girl will keep you guessing until the very last second.

Boring

Absolutely couldn't put this one down! Fast paced, edge if seat! Highly recommend to anyone who likes a good thriller without all the boring fillers. The plot was fantastic and I'm usually very hard to please.

Wow.. Just wow!

The first few chapters had me convinced I’d wasted a credit but the more I listened the more I became a fan. I do wish that the author gave us a little more towards the end in terms of Debbie and Luke but overall a very good book. I love the character Gina she’s a real person very much what a real cop would be

While I didn’t feel the story was all that thrilling I managed to stay very entertained throughout. The twists weren’t much of a twist but the story was gripping and the thrills definitely thrilling. I found myself holding my breath eyes wide open during the tensest moments.

The narrator unfortunately although beautifully articulate, is hard to listen to during the rendition of the other characters voices which are overdone.

Scary voices.

I enjoyed this book. The characters are good, the story was a great level of suspense, and the crime and conclusion were both well-executed.

The story did scatter around a little, and it needs a bit of focus to stay with it. I felt that there was a little too much interest in supporting character's backstories, and would have preferred to stay more focused on the real story.

The performance was good and I was happy with the conclusion. Looking forward to reading another one.

A Great and Gripping Mystery

Entertaining enough but dragged on a bit.
Only exciting bit was near the end of the book but even that fell flat.

Was okay
