IF YOU ONLY READ ONE BOOK THIS YEAR, MAKE IT THE NEXT GIRL...

You thought he’d come to save you. You were wrong.

Oh my goodness! This was gripping and fast moving from page one.’ Southern and Sassy Wine Lady, 5 stars

Deborah Jenkins pulls her coat around her for the short walk home in the pouring rain. But she never makes it home that night. And she is never seen again…

Four years later, an abandoned baby girl is found wrapped in dirty rags on a doorstep. An anonymous phone call urges the police to run a DNA test on the baby. But nobody is prepared for the results. 

The newborn belongs to Deborah. She’s still alive...

THE GRIPPING THRILLER EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT – if you like Lisa Gardner, Robert Bryndza or Clare Mackintosh, you will absolutely love this. A completely unputdownable page-turner with an ending that will blow your mind.

**Each Gina Harte book can be read as part of the series or as a standalone**

    I really enjoyed reading The Next Girl by Carla Kovach. I’m a fan of mystery and crime novels, and this book kept my attention from beginning to end. The story pulled me in right away, and I found myself wanting to keep reading just to figure out what was going to happen next. One thing I liked most was Detective Gina Harte. She felt like a real person instead of a perfect detective. She had her own struggles and emotions, which made it easier for me to connect with her as she worked through the investigation. I also liked how the story slowly revealed new clues instead of giving everything away too quickly. Every time I thought I had the mystery figured out, something unexpected happened that changed my mind. The book also touches on some serious topics, which made the story feel more realistic and emotional. There were moments that were difficult to read, but I think they added depth to the characters and made me care even more about what happened to them. My favorite part was how the ending tied everything together. I didn’t see all of the twists coming, and I enjoyed being surprised. It’s the kind of book that keeps you thinking even after you’ve finished it.

    I only read thrillers and am accustomed to creepy storylines but this was just plain disturbing and 100% depressing. I don’t know how or why I finished it. One of my least favorite books of all time.
  • Excellent Read!

    This was a well written; fast pace read! I couldn’t put it down & read it in one non-stop session! (My Hubby kept trying to get me to put it down - but I couldn’t… Not even for an afternoon of garage sales! 😁 The characters are well constructed & the situations are believable. Excellent book.

    I had a hard time putting this book down. It was a good read, a little lengthy in the extra details, like every little step the main character took, wiping their nose etc. and a good bit of grammatical errors. But all in all the story was great, I will definitely be reading more Carla Kovach books!
