An unsolved murder.
Forty years later, Emily’s murder remains a mystery. Her tight-knit group of friends closed ranks; her respected, wealthy family retreated inwards; the small town moved on from her grisly attack. But all that’s about to change.
One final chance to uncover a killer.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In this mesmerizing thriller, newly minted US Marshal Andrea Oliver is sent on a routine assignment to protect a federal judge, only to be distracted by a decades-old cold case. For Andrea, it’s personal—because her imprisoned, psychopathic father knew the victim. Thriller master Karin Slaughter skillfully alternates between Andrea’s investigation in the present day and the dark events that took place 40 years ago. We were rapt and horrified as the story unfolded, desperate for Marshal Oliver to find the answers. Veteran narrator Kathleen Early’s expert sense of pacing made us feel every ounce of suspense. Whether or not you’ve listened to other books in the Andrea Oliver series, Girl, Forgotten is sure to hook you.
