The Silent Girls by Eric Rickstad

2.0

I have to admit, this book wasn’t my favorite and it took me a while to get through it. I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by it’s cover but between the cover and the compelling details on the back I was excited for a thrilling page-turner. This crime thriller is a bit gory, so it certainly isn’t for the faint hearted. This story is about a string of murders that don’t seem to be adding up…until one retired police officers finds a link between them all and fights to find answers. While it takes a while to get into, the second half of the book really speeds up and the ending left my mouth hanging open with a lot of unanswered questions! I love these kind of endings because it keeps me thinking beyond the pages of the book and makes me think a little.
