Jane Doe Black

Lainey Abbott, Book 1

De: Nia Forrester

Narrado por: A'rese Emokpae

She dedicated her life to working for the justice system, but when she needed it most, it didn’t work for her.

On the eve of trial, Assistant District Attorney Lainey Abbott gets a disturbing phone call. Her baby sister, Stephanie, who should have been back at her college dorm after visiting for the weekend, never arrived. At first, she isn’t too worried, because she’s a system insider and has plenty of resources available to locate her sister quickly, including Russ Sanders, the police detective she’s been on and off with for years. It’ll take a couple days, tops. They’ll find Steph and give her a piece of their mind for being so irresponsible.

But a year later, Stephanie still hasn’t been found.

And what’s worse, the system Lainey once had so much faith in, no longer seems inclined to look. Reeling from the loss, her career and personal life are in freefall, and most days she can’t even bring herself to care.

Until another case surfaces, of a girl who’s gone missing under strikingly similar circumstances to Steph’s....

Great storytelling!!

I am a huge fan of Nia’s. This book steps into a new genre for her and I’m here FOR. IT.! She writes her characters in a frame that paints them as people we would actually know in our lives. This story unfolded perfectly. I was hooked from page one.

I need book 2 please!!!!

This was a good listen. I had my suspects lined up. I Figured as much!!!

The Mystery🔥🔥🔥🔥

This read kept me captivated from beginning to the very end. The narrator was new to me and she did a fantastic job. I Iove a good murder mystery and this was right up my alley. The ending threw me for a loop. I was practically clutching my invisible pearls. I didn’t know if I should be angry or sad. Really kind of broke my heart. I definitely can’t wait to get started on the next book in this series.

WOW!!

I haven’t tore through a book this fast in a while! So goooood! First time coming across this author. So good!

Compelling!

This was a compelling and engaging story. I was drawn in by authentic details of the prosecution insider views. My heart broke as Lainie learned that she hadn’t known her sister as well as she had thought she had - something that often happens with siblings. The narrator did a great job of conveying the myriad of emotions that the main character grappled with. The ending was surprising and heartbreaking.
