The Girl in the Picture

By: Alexandra Monir

Narrated by: Rudy Sanda, Sofia Willingham

One dead body, one photograph, one compromising secret. Everyone's a suspect in this classic "whodunit" murder mystery from Timeless author, Alexandra Monir.

Nicole Morgan has been labeled many things - the geeky music girl, the shy sidekick of Miss Popularity, and the girl with the scar. Now only one name haunts her through the halls of Oyster Bay Prep. The girl in the picture.

After heartthrob Chace Porter is found dead in the woods near the school, the police search for the girl snuggled up next to him in a picture discovered among his personal effects. A girl no one knew was even close to him - and whose best friend, Lana Rivera, was his girlfriend.

Nicole is that girl, and now she's the primary suspect in his murder.

What happened that night? Were Nicole and Chace dating behind Lana's back? Were he and Lana over? Could either of the girls have killed him?

In alternating points of view - that of suspect Nicole Morgan and that of Lana Rivera - and weaving between present-day, flashbacks, and the characters' surreal subconscious, The Girl in the Picture is a unique tale of teen friendship, romance, and deadly secrets.

good plot twist

good book to listen too and with a good plot twist. it keeps you wondering what will happen next

East listening

content was good. I wished it would have been just a little bit longer so the author could have gone into detail more on the character's backstories. I feel like everything about each character was quickly summarized which left me feeling like I either didn't know them or because of not knowing much about them, it was hard to become invested in them. The overall storyline was good. I just felt like it could have been more detailed. It left me feeling like I either needed more or have the feeling "That was it?" It's an easy book to listen to. it's just not one I felt like I knew the characters very well so I had no connection, feelings, or investment in any of them.

Teenage romance novel drivel

If you like predictable archetypal teenage romance novels, then this is definitely the book for you. If however, you are an adult, skip it. The only reason I made it to chapter 5 was because I was doing something I couldn't neglect, while I cringed at my poor choice in books this time.

Very predictable

Too cheesy and predictable. Story line was not great, and the ghost part in there made no sense.
