About this ebook

THE UNPUTDOWNABLE NEW THRILLER FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE NEXT GIRL

 

She’s just the girl he’s looking for…

 

A young woman falls from a van speeding down a quiet road. Battered and bruised, she turns her head to the person who comes to her aid. ‘Help her’, she whispers before her eyes close.

 

Days later, the body of another young girl is found in a shallow grave just a few miles away. The similarities between the two girls are startling – same age, same frail body, same shocking red hair.

 

As the town fears there’s a serial killer living amongst them, Detective Gina Harte must put aside her own struggles at home, and catch the killer before he finds another perfect girl.

 

AN ABSOLUTELY HEART-STOPPING CRIME THRILLER FROM CARLA KOVACH – if you like Lisa Gardner, Robert Bryndza or Clare Mackintosh, Her Pretty Bones will have you hooked.

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed this book. It was a suspenseful story . The characters in the story were heartbreaking and heartwarming

I was spelled bound and ready to devour this book,but I had to put it down and do other things,but I did finally get back to it and completely immersed myself in its pages until I had finished it.Very good read,will continue on to the next in the series.

Loved it! This is the first crime book I've been able to read in over 12 months due to a myriad of health issues. Other crime books haven't been gripping enough to keep my attention but this did ☺I cannot wait to read the next two.
