The Girl in the Ground

A Completely Gripping Mystery and Suspense Thriller (Nikki Hunt, Book 4)

By: Stacy Green

Narrated by: Kate Handford

She was beautiful: shiny blond hair, crystal blue eyes and the widest smile Nikki had ever seen. She thought back to what she had seen in the ground, the dirt that caked the white bones. All that remained of her now was the silver locket that was still around her neck....

When construction workers unearth a girl’s skeleton in Stillwater, Minnesota, Special Agent Nikki Hunt is called to the scene by her boyfriend Rory. Nikki knows instantly that the girl was murdered, but she is shocked when Rory immediately recognizes her. The victim was his childhood sweetheart, Becky, and he was the last person to see her before she went missing 24 years ago.

With the love of her life now a potential suspect, Nikki is forced to take a step back from the case. But then her colleague Liam finds lies in Rory’s statement - it appears that Becky may have been carrying Rory’s child when she was killed. Despite this, Nikki still thinks he could be innocent, and knows she must find the real killer herself if Rory stands any chance of walking free.

When Nikki finds a potential link to two pregnant girls who were found murdered years before it’s clear that this is the most twisted killer that she has ever faced. And then another girl goes missing from Stillwater. Can Nikki unearth the truth and protect the man she loves? And will she find the missing girl in time to save her life?

A dark and twisty crime thriller that will make you hold your breath as you race towards the end. The Girl in the Ground is a new mystery for fans of Lisa Regan, Robert Dugoni, and Willow Rose.

Exciting, thrilling, and suspensful!

Great author and narrator. I love Stacy Green! I would recommend anything she writes. I am making my way though this series and have loved every book!

No spoilers

Reviewing after reading the 4th book in the series. Strong likable protagonist that managed not to be cookie-cutter. Intriguing stories that keep moving. Narrator is excellent. Clearly enunciates without being ridiculous and has good range without being overly dramatic.

Great book, buuut…

I like the series and this book, but like a lot of people say, the repeated mispronunciation gets distracting. I wonder if anybody edits these books because I’m on book 7 and it’s continues throughout the series. My nails on a chalkboard is the mispronunciation of “composite”. Like, it is literally pronounced how it looks.

The girl in the ground

This a great book by Lisa so many twists and turns. She makes you part of the story like you’re solving the crime. Can’t wait to read the others.

Love the series!

Great series, completely invested in the life of Agent Nikki Hunt & her family. Can’t wait for the next one.
