Title: Three Drowned Girls
Author: Emily Shiner
Publisher: Bookouture
Publication Date: April, 2024
Genre: Thriller
Pages: 352
My Rating: ★★★☆☆
Detective Freya Sinclair is desperate to get to the bottom of a case involving missing girls in her home town of Fawn Lake. Facing backlash from a previous investigation that went wrong, can she get the support she needs before anyone else gets murdered?
I loved Emily Shiner’s “The Wife in the Photo” and was looking forward to reading another of hers. Unfortunately, this one fell a bit short for me.
The pace was very slow and I felt disinterested at times.
There was a lot of build up surrounding what her parents did, which never really surmounted to anything and it was lacking in twists and turns.
I didn’t really warm to any of the characters and never really got behind Freya. I did like the camaraderie between her, Candy and Brad. Esther was sweet as well. I think I’d rather have read the story about Freya’s parents and how Esther came to take her in though.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for my advanced copy.
