Girl, 11 by Amy Suiter Clarke
Alternating between podcast transcripts and real time events this story immersed me in the life of Elle and the cold case she was presenting to her listeners. It drew me in, held my interest, and was utterly compelling. Dark and gritty and real…and so much more.
What I liked:
* Elle: complicated and complex with a backstory that impacted her in many ways. I found her intriguing. She was dedicated, focused, loving and smart…a woman I could see having as a friend.
* Martin: Elle’s husband, medical examiner, loving, kind, intelligent, anchor and support for his wife. A good man and great partner for Elle.
* Sash: Elle’s friend, single mother of Natalie, lawyer.
* Natalie: smart, strong, wise, young, great potential for the future.
* The setting, plot, pacing and way the story was written.
* Wondering if I should look for some podcasts to listen to…and where to find them.
* The police procedural aspect of the story
* Some of the people that were supporting characters: Ayaan, Sam, Tina
* Reading the backstory of the serial killer
* The podcast information and how it all tied into what was happening in the present
* The way math played into the killings
* Finding out who the TCK killer was and the confrontation scene
* Getting to read a debut author that I believe has a brilliant future
* Wondering what book will be next by this author and whether or not this will be the first in a series or a standalone book/story.
What I didn’t like:
* The TCK killer
* Knowing that such evil people exist in real life
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Definitely
Thank you to NetGalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for the ARC – This is my honest review.
