“An utterly compelling thriller...an absolutely riveting, absorbing read not to be missed.”—New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger

“Trust me: you have never read a missing persons story like this one....A fast, mean head trip of a thriller that reads like a collaboration between Michael Connelly and the gothic fiction of Joyce Carol Oates, Cemetery Girl is one of those novels that you cannot shake after it's over.

I won't say this is an enjoyable read but it is extremely well written and a great example of how things might not turn out exactly as you would wish. There are parts of the story were I actually felt angry. This really does deliver an emotional punch.

This book kept me absorbed and I enjoyed it albeit I loathed the main protaganist - the father. Another review describes him as self pitying and I would agree. Whilst understandably obesessed with daughter's disappearence, he is an aggressive, angry, self interested man. This man is supposed to be a university lecturer but you would think he has never read anything about victims, especially those held by a captor, and the psycological effect on these people. He is abusive to his daughter under the guise if caring for her and is dictatorial to everyone he comes into contact with.
I can't say I liked the other characters much either with the wet week religious wife and her pastor. However, despite this the story kept me interested and the narrator is great (which always makes a difference).

Plenty of twists and turns. I enjoyed the book, the characters and the narrator. Subject matter was difficult to listen to at times but the author did not over do the details which I appreciated.

Good suspense thriller

I was surprised by the ending, not in a pleasant way. There were so many twists and turns to this book that my interest stayed but almost as many impossibilities and unexplored relationships.

I did listen in one sitting though and it was an extremely thought provoking topic. In all, well worth the download, just a little unexpected in some places.

I listened to this last year and thought it was a weird style of a book.
