Girls Without Tears | T.L. Finlay
Genre: Psychological suspense, mystery, thriller
Pub Date: 09/08/22
Rating: 4.5 stars
Girls Without Tears is a standalone suspense by author, T.L. Finlay (also known as Traci Finlay).
The story follows Noa, who has not been back to her small hometown in over a decade when she finds herself drawn back following the abduction of a small child in the community. The child is the daughter of her ex-boyfriend and the woman he left her for. As Noa becomes pulled back into small town life and the hunt for a kidnapper, she finds that her own life might also be at stake.
The thing that made this book more than just another mystery thriller was Noa’s Congenital Insensitivity to Pain. I’m both horrified and fascinated by this disorder and it made me want to read more to learn about what it is like for someone living with this and how it impacts their life.
The book itself was well written, suspenseful and had some good twists and turns. I enjoyed the fast pace and it kept my interest the whole time. I read it across two sittings. The small town Florida setting and small community is not something I have experienced so was interesting to read about.
This was my first book by this author, but will definitely be keeping my eye out for further thrillers by her. Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley for a copy of this book.
