I had heard a lot of good things about this one and it had been on my Audible wishlist for a while, until recently when I finally used a credit to listen to it and I really enjoyed it. I choose to listen to Girl, 11, rather than read it, mostly because of the podcast within the book, which I loved. It was very well done and it had me intrigued from the get go. A great debut!
The narrators were all fantastic too.

Elle Castillo has devoted herself to her highly popular podcast focused on solving crimes and helping bring the criminals to justice, and closure to the victims families. After four series she decides to take on her biggest case yet, The Count Down Killer a particularly twisted and meticulous planner when it comes to the crimes he commits until one day abruptly the crimes stop for no known reason. So what happens when Elle obsesses over solving the case?
This is an absolute MUST READ. The characters are well developed, Elle in particular is easy to love and root for and the narration is strong, detailed and flows naturally It's obsessive and dim with major twists and turns that are impossible to seem coming!. I am a devoted thriller fan and thus was a bit hesitant about diving in to a debut but this one comes in with a bang! A gripping page turner I did NOT want to put down. Amy Suiter Clarke has certainly claimed her rightful spot on the must follow list.
A BIG thankyou to netgalley and publishers for allowing me an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I am very grateful to have had the pleasure of reading this novel and will be singing its praise for the foreseeable future!

This was a quick read and was entertaining. I found the reveals to be pretty obvious though.

I wasn't enjoying the dialog or characterisation though I can't really explain why. Perhaps it was that it's kinda 2 dimensional. I'm more into character-based stuff, not plot-based stuff such as this.
It felt like the author was aiming for a mid-tier tv show feel, and they got that down.
For those wanting an easy to read book with a tv/movie feel, definitely give this a go.
Also coming on here and seeing it compared to Riley Sager helped me choose to put it down.
