The River Girls: A Mercy Harbor Thriller

By: Melinda Woodhall

Narrated by: Melanie Carey

Who's killing the girls of Willow Bay?

When the body of a missing girl washes up on the banks of the Willow River, the killing is linked to two cold case murders, and the investigation must uncover the twisted motive of a serial killer before he kills again.

Still reeling after her sister’s brutal murder, grief-stricken Eden Winthrop has returned to Willow Bay, where she runs the Mercy Harbor Foundation, a safe haven for victims of violence. When a teenage trafficking victim disappears from a shelter run by her foundation, Eden is drawn into the search for the sadistic killer. The hunt becomes personal when Eden's niece is abducted just as the body of yet another victim is discovered in a local river. In a desperate effort to save her niece, Eden must partner with the small-town police force that had failed to save her sister. And to catch the killer, she realizes she must trust the one man she vowed to never forgive and summon the strength to face her deepest fears.

The gripping first audiobook in the Mercy Harbor Thriller series will keep you up at night.

It's nice to discover a new(to me) author

I like the story. It was great the way all of the characters were intertwined. Had I been reading instead of listening, I may have finished in one sitting.

While I realize doing multiple voices is a challenge, I had too stop listening multiple times because some of the character voices were so annoying. Nessa's voice was like a Rue McClanahan wanna be from the Golden Girls. Hollywood sounded like a cartoon character to me. I would rather hear it all in one voice than multiple voices that I find annoying. Of course this is just my opinion, others probably love the voices.

All in all it was a great book. I'll read the rest of the series instead of listening.

Exciting thriller that will keep you listening!

This is the first book I’ve listened to by this author and I was hooked from the start. I enjoyed the well-developed characters, fast pace of the story and the twists and turns of the plot. Will be looking forward to more by this author!

Beautiful book! Only negative was the narrator. I didn’t like her at all!

The narrator!! Her voice and accent was very irritating!! Really put a bad light on the heroine!

Quite the Book

The author did a great job at making the characters believable. I liked the how the author brought to light trafficking in the US.

Southern Accent atrocious

The southern accent was very disappointing and distracting. Sounded too fake to be believable. I’m from the south and this just didn’t cut it. Very happy the entire book didn’t have her talking like that. I could not have continued the book
