The Missing Girls

Detective Robyn Carter Crime Thriller Series, Book 3

By: Carol Wyer

Narrated by: Emma Newman

One girl found dead. Another girl gone....

Long shadows danced on the tin walls. Inside the trunk lay Carrie Miller, wrapped in plastic, arms folded across her ribcage, lips sealed tight forever....

When a girl's body is found at a Midlands storage unit, it is too decomposed for Detective Robyn Carter to read the signs left by the killer.

No one knows the woman in blue who rented the unit; her hired van can't be traced. But as the leads run dry, another body is uncovered. This time the killer's distinctive mark is plain to see, and matching scratches on the first victim's skeleton make Robyn suspect she's searching for a serial killer.

As Robyn closes in on the killer's shocking hunting ground, another girl goes missing, and this time it's someone close to her own heart.

Robyn can't lose another loved one. Can she find the sickest individual she has ever faced, before it's too late?

An utterly gripping and darkly compelling detective thriller that will have fans of Robert Dugoni, Angela Marsons, and James Patterson hooked from the very start. You will not guess the ending!

Not the best story from an amazing author

Unfortunately this was not one of the better stories in the series. Without giving anything away, I felt the details did not add up to the conclusion. Unless I am forgetting details (it's a long book), it felt like the author really wanted to add in a twist at the end without really working out the details to follow up with it. Spoiler alert: people can be great actors but it's harder to pull off disguises that look great, even in terrible lighting. Plus, some of the things that happened from the victims point of views didn't add up in the conclusion...

I love this series!

I really enjoy the character Robyn. The story keeps making me not want to stop listening and I am eager to get onto the next one. Definitely worth the listen.

Just when I thought I had it figured out...

I was getting annoyed mid way through the book because I thought that I had the case figured out. A character was subtly introduced (which usually means that they are the killer) and I was thinking about cutting my losses. The story was great but I already knew how it would end.

Surprisingly, there was a huge twist and I ended up being completely wrong. The book went from being completely predictable to wonderfully suspenseful and even more riveting.

For those who have read all of the books in the series: get ready for a major cliffhanger in the last few minutes of the book. You'll be so excited for Book 4. December needs to hurry!

very suspenseful

the part at the end where she finds out about her fiancee ripped my heart out😭😢😪

Twists and Turns Keep You on the Edge

Couldn't put this one down. This was certainly a good listen even though it did take me a bit to get used to the narrator's accent (which I have to blame on my Southeastern USA upbringing). I definitely would recommend it to anyone who loves criminal suspense thrillers. #Crime #Suspenseful #Thriller #British #Unputdownable #SerialKiller #Detective #RobynCarter #Series #Book3 #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes
