Another fantastic Ellie Reeves book, and the little cliffhanger had me screaming. I'm going to need the next book ASAP.

I need a resolution for Ellie and Cord. Is it going to happen? What happens to their current relationships? Ugh!
A quick and obsessive read. I love Ellie as a character - tough, stands her ground without apologizing for demanding the respect she deserves. It was great to see Derrick dealing with the sudden death of his long time friend, Rick, and his family.
Cord as always has my heart though - brooding large man. Bring it on!
Onto the next!

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Thank you to Bookoture for letting me take part in this tour and for my copy of this book via Netgalley. This is the seventh book in this series but they can all be read as standalones.
Rita has written another intense and action-packed crime thriller. I love the short chapters they really help to keep the fast pace of the book flowing. I found myself flicking page after page, chapter after chapter. I just couldn't put it down.
This story had layer upon layer. The more Ellie dug into Mia's life the stranger it became. The town of Red Rock was a tight-lipped community indeed. Then you throw in a little girl who just wants her mother back and you have quite the case for Ellie Reeves to solve.
Rita really did an excellent job of keeping me in suspense. From the very first page, I was on the edge of my seat, tense and desperate to fund out what happened to Mia.
Another fantastic addition to this series, don't delay grab your copy today!

Detective Ellie Reeves is back again and finds herself embroiled in even more danger and an impossible situation when a friend goes missing at her wedding and another is hurt. Its a deadly race against time and she will have to watch er back more than ever because some does not like er poking around their business. A town full of people with secrets. A missing women who is not at all who she seems to be, a child caught in the middle of it all and the two men that love Ellie. Will Ellie succeed as she always does? Or will this foe proved to be her downfall?

Detective Ellie Reeves is back excited to attend her friend Mia's wedding. Until the worst happens....
The bride goes missing.
And she hasn't got cold feet.
But where is she? And who was the man Mia's daughter Pixie heard before she disappeared?
That's what Ellie needs to find out and fast. Especially when the maid of honour Tori turns up dead in the river someplace Mia would always avoid.
And when Ellie and FBI Agent Derek Fox go to search Mia's house the next day. They find it ransacked and pictures of the happy couple burned.
Then Ellie is given a lead. But it's one that creates more questions than answers and when Cord calls with shocking news the case becomes even more complicated.
And with big twists, lots of shocks and surprises and a confrontation you won't expect. This was another fantastic addition to a series that has genuinely got better and better.
And with the Cord, Ellie and Derek dynamic getting more and more complicated. I truly can't wait to find out what happens next.
I would highly recommend The Girl in the River and the series itself to crime fiction fans everywhere!
