Summary
From the New York Times bestselling author of Pieces of Her comes an electrifying thriller featuring newly minted US Marshall Andrea Oliver as she investigates a cold case with links to her father’s past.

A small town hides a big secret.

Who killed Emily Vaughn?

A girl with a secret. Longbill Beach, 1982. Emily Vaughn gets ready for the prom. For an athlete, who is smart, pretty and well-liked, this night that should be the highlight of her high school career. But Emily has a secret. And by the end of the evening, that secret will be silenced forever.

An unsolved murder.

Forty years later, Emily’s murder remains a mystery. Her tight-knit group of friends closed ranks; her respected, wealthy family retreated inwards; the small town moved on from her grisly attack. But all that’s about to change.

One final chance to uncover a killer.

US Marshal Andrea Oliver arrives in Longbill Beach on her first assignment: to protect a judge receiving death threats. But, in reality, Andrea is there to find justice for Emily. The killer is still out there—and Andrea must discover the truth before she gets silenced, too.

I'm wondering if I am the only one who objects to the constant use of the F word. This author obviously has so much talent, that surely she could write an excellent story without the use of it. To me, it detracts from the story itself, and is not needed to convince us of the authenticity of the setting, character and plot.

Great suspense, plenty of twists! There was a lot of language, but I guess that’s a personal preference. My biggest issue is that it’s number two of a series and I didn’t see that anywhere in the description. Wish I had known, I would’ve read the first book in the series before this one.

Good plot. I did not appreciate the high number of flashbacks.

This book was really disappointing. There isn’t one character that is well developed, likable, or deep enough to relate to. Everything about it was disturbing. The narrator sounded like a drill Sargent.

This kept me eagerly awaiting the solution to the rape and murder. The ending surprised me even though there were numerous clues leading up the ending. This was a great listen during my daily walk.

I picked this book because I like the narrator & knew that part would be good (and it was). The book itself was good - it was long, but worth sticking with. The main character is treated very poorly & there's a lot of violence throughout - if you're looking for a happy, uplifting read, this isn't it.

A very well written book, and the story line was very captivating!! The Narrator was amazing!There's a lot of cuss words, which fit the characters in the book, although when you listen to a book this can be annoying.

This was my first introduction to Karin Slaughter’s work and I am blown away. What a great crime novel. Great narration also. This might have been my first ( by the way a free VIP book ) but it will not be my last! If you like crime novels check this author out. You won’t be disappointed !

Storyline is a mashup of common tropes. Unfortunately I did not find it compelling or intriguing in any way. Should have eliminated some of the sub plots in my opinion.

It was a very good story. It's just too bad. The author kept throwing in her left wing political opinions that are offensive to those of us who aren't left-wing.

I enjoyed the story and the narrator. As a character, Emily was hard to like. She came off as meek and indecisive. As for the language, teenagers, law enforcement officers, and criminals all use coarse language. It fit with the characters. It wasn't like Andrea's mother was dropping F bombs. I would listen to more books from this author and narrator.

I loved this story! I am now listening to the story that is a prequel to this, but it was still great. I feel like it started out a bit slow and hard to get into and then it just took off and I was hooked until the end. Will definitely be reading more from this author. I really like the narrator too.

This was a nice read. The flashbacks to the 80s were triggering; a different time where the perception of rape by some blew my mind!!!

The clique was so horrible. Emily was so good. It makes no sense she was a part of that. I like Andrea, but she is always rattled in some way and that’s not great.

It took me a few chapters to get into the story, but once I did I was hooked. The narrator was okay, but was quite monotone.

Trigger Warning...extensive conversations about a rape victim. The book was amazing. Lots of twists and turns with an ending I did not anticipate. Hard to get through in places where the assault was discussed. Great narration.

I'm a big fan of Karin Slaughter and I absolutely loved Pieces of Her, and this follow up featuring Andrea Oliver is a wonderful read, in some ways even better than its predecessor as it adds new layers and intrigue regarding Andrea, her father and their interwoven past within the current case with which Andrea is tasked as a rookie U. S. Marshal in Girl, Forgotten. I'm really hoping that there will be more novels featuring Andrea. Highly recommended.

It's worth listening to "Girl Forgotten" if only to hear Kathleen Early's voice narrate Leonard "Catfish" Bible give U.S. Marshall Andrea Owen advice on how to do her job. It's truly wonderful! Would have given the book 5 stars for narration except for the fact there were lots of extraneous noises in the audiobook. Clicks, pops, nose noises, etc. were distracting. But, I'd certainly recommend it as a very worthwhile listen. I believe this is better as an audiobook than an eread or paperback.

The book was good, but the audio was soo much Better! The narrator did a wonderful job of expressing the emotions, she really brought to book to life. Several of the scenes were so much more haunting having heard them, than just having read them.
