The Girl She Was
by Alafair Burke
The Girl She Was is my first read by Alafair Burke but I’ve been wanting to read this author for some time after hearing really great things and being a huge fan of crime or psychological thrillers. I love stories which use amnesia as an element.
This book is a standalone, but it features one of the author’s recurring characters, NYPD detective Ellie Hatcher. I feel like having the backstory for this character may have been helpful as I felt little connection to this character. There are quite a lot of characters in the story to keep track of.
I found the overall pace of the story a little slow but it had some enjoyable moments to keep you reading. The mystery, twists and ending were okay, not bad but not wow-worthy.
Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
