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.

The Next Girl by Carla Kovach. A Detective Gina Harte book The first in the series. A brilliant story which keeps you on edge all through the book right to the very end.
The narration by Tamsin Kennard was also very good so I must get the next one.

I absolutely loved this story! It kept me totally engrossed from start till finish! The only thing that drove me mad was the constant description of the detectives head cold. I didn’t see the point in discussing a cold in such detail all the time!

I found some of it hard to listen to, especially after Deborah gives birth & how it had effected her physically. It was so descriptive I felt sick listening to it (and I’ve been thru childbirth!!) but that’s probably a credit to the autor for being so detailed!

I would highly recommend this book. It’s well worth a read and will keep u guessing till the end!

Loved this book!

I heard this story on Audible, while recovering from a virus, Absolutely loved it, I shall definitely be looking t the next book.
I do however wish authors would extend the ending, after following a really gripping story through endless chapters, authors should allow the reader to enjoy more of the crim being brought to justice, we deserve at least another chapter or two, of the detective and perpetrator in the interview room.
Excellent story.

Really gripping read
