The Hidden Girl

An Absolutely Gripping Mystery Thriller (Agent Tori Hunter, Book 3)

De: Roger Stelljes

Narrado por: Kate Handford

The lights of her parents’ cabin just visible through the woods, the girl carefully curls up amongst the reeds, her knees pulled tight to her chest. Terrified, the only sound she makes is the pounding of her heart, but she hears the stranger searching...if she keeps silent, will she be safe?

When Agent Tori Hunter is urgently called to the murder scene of Dan and Heidi Newman, she finds their throats slit and Dan tied up: forced to watch his wife lose her life. Tori’s first thought is for their 17-year-old daughter, Cara, who is nowhere to be found. Will this popular young girl be the next victim?

A broken bracelet is the one clue left at the scene, but the team is running in circles until Tori finally tracks down Cara hiding in the woods. Sobbing, the devastated girl says all she remembers is a flash of a man’s face as she was chased through the forest....

Desperate to find the monster behind this crime, Tori pieces together the broken chain: And it leads her to an elderly lady living alone nearby. When the woman won’t speak to police, Tori senses that although it means breaking all the rules, introducing Cara will show this lonely soul what’s at stake. And once inside her house, Cara gasps when she sees a framed photo on display. It’s the man who chased her....

But then another local couple is murdered in their isolated home, another husband forced to watch his worst nightmare unfold. As more couples lose their lives, can Tori keep Cara, her one witness, safe from this vicious killer? And can she track him down before more innocent families are torn apart?

An absolutely addictive and mind-blowing crime thriller that will have you glued through each and every twist, until the final shocking conclusion. Fans of Kendra Elliot, Robert Dugoni, and Lisa Jackson won’t be able to put this down.

Good book and story line

I like this book, not as much as the previous ones. Because Will was a complete jerk! Still think he is one at the end of the book. I’ll read at least one more to see if he redeems himself.

Twisted Author?

Although I like the Tory Hunter character, I am becoming more and more convinced Roger has a thing with violence towards women. He seems to like women tied up, raped and killed. Why is this theme so prevalent in these books?

Awesome

Another amazing listen.. just wow. The story was gripping, amazing narration as always. Character development was great. Just really kept me hooked. So glad I stumbled upon this author. Can’t wait to move on to book 3!

Just two things

Living in Wisconsin, I found it impossible to get past the mispronounciation of both Plover and Portage. These books are great and I love the narrator, but geez oh cripes that was annoying.

Grip story

The Hidden Girl is the third instalment in the FBI Agent Tori Hunter series, although it more of the Tori and Braddock series. The story grips from the start with no build up and no pause.

There really isn't a mystery aspect in this book. You pretty much know who is doing the killing and why from pretty early on. the story is masterfully written, well-crafted and likable characters in Tori and Braddock and real bad guys. It’s a solid, gripping storyline certainly made this a great read. I look forward to the next installment in the series.

My issues are I found this one to be more graphic than book one and two. There are also several instances of rape that could be triggering to some. My largest issue with this book is the relationship drama between Tori and Will. So much of it isn't necessary and just drags the story down. I also wasn't a fan of the ending and what pretty much guarantees more relationship drama in the next book. All in all though, I liked it a lot and look forward to seeing what is up next for these characters!

This book and series if you enjoy crime thrillers, too!

Love this series!

3 hooks in. Well written. Great narration. The shooting scenes could be a little less needed, but definitely going for hook #4.

Good story. Great Narrator. Sloppy Production.

Pronouncing the words correctly should be a high priority. Director or producer should be reviewing.

Enjoyed

Not as good as some, but still entertaining. Easy read. Good narration. The end is a cliffhanger.

Good book

Good book, kept me engaged
And I liked the performance with this one better than last

The Hidden Girl

Another case closed, but what will happen between Tori and Will? Is it forever or the end? I want to listen to the next book NOW, but it is not available on Audible (if it even exists).
