The Girl They All Forgot by Martin Edwards, Martin Edwards
3.0
The Girl They All Forgot by Martin Edwards is a mystery book involving a cold case, which pops up again when a son dies in the same manner as his father from many years ago.
This book switches points of view regularly & in the beginning, it gives you quite a few names & stories to obviously set the foundation of the novel. I have to admit I was a bit confused trying to keep track of everything going on & who was who. As soon as I would understand, it would switch to a snippet from a different person. Despite my confusion, I enjoyed getting all the different bits of information & I feel like it moved the story along with a quick pace. I would also like to add that I have chronic illnesses & I read this during a particularly mental brain foggy week, so this could just be my own problem.
This is the first book I’ve read in this series as well. The practice of switching the primary character being discussed multiple times per chapter is something I struggled with. Perhaps if I had already known some of the characters from previous books, I wouldn’t have struggled as much.
I will give this book props for putting so much crime into this book it felt like I was reviewing at least two books. It is a very interesting cold case along with parallel types of crime. I feel like fans of this series will enjoy this book very much.
The Girl They All Forgot comes out June 7, 2022!
