The Girl in the Woods by Patricia MacDonald

4.0

Where do I even begin?! This book, kept me on the edge of my seat pretty much the whole time.
Molly mysteriously is found dead after leaving Blair’s house when her Uncle Ellis kicks her out. Fast forward to 15 years later, Celeste, Blair’s older sister is on her death bed and confesses that Molly’s “killer” isn’t really her killer! So now Blair has to find out who the real killer is.
With no help from the wrongfully imprisoned Yusef, a local attorney or the Chief of Police, Blair decides to hire a Private Investigator to help her figure out what really happened 15 years ago.
Its always the person you least expect it to be, when the story unfolds and Joe was finally named the Killer my mouth dropped! With Joe having a prisoner for 15 years; Ariel, and her having Joe’s baby, Trista the story of her adbuction was very sad and upsetting. To know Molly was only trying to help Ariel, because that’s the kind of person she was, but it caused her to fall victim to Joe’s hand.
Thanks to Blair not giving up, both Ariel and Yusef are now free!
Definitely a must read!
