dark mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

Don’t you hate it when you figure out the mystery and are waiting for the main characters to finally figure it out? Or when the twist is SO out of left field that you’re left with gaping plot holes and a sense of “what the hell?”

The Girl Who was Taken is none of those. A true, well written mystery until the last few chapters. Thoroughly enjoyable. Felt like a good Karin Slaughter. I’ll be reading more Donleas for sure
