How to Find a Missing Girl

By: Victoria Wlosok

Narrated by: Mia Hutchinson Shaw, Gail Shalan

For fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and Veronica Mars, this whip-smart thriller follows a sapphic detective agency as they seek the truth behind a growing trail of missing girls in small-town Louisiana.

A year ago, beloved cheerleader Stella Blackthorn vanished without a trace. Devastated, her younger sister, Iris, launched her own investigation, but all she managed to do was scare off the police’s only lead and earn a stern warning: Once she turns eighteen, more meddling means prison-level consequences.

Then, a year later, the unthinkable happens. Iris’s ex-girlfriend, Heather, goes missing, too—just after dropping the polarizing last episode of her true crime podcast all about Iris’s sister. This time, nothing will stop Iris and her amateur sleuthing agency from solving these disappearances.

But with a suspicious detective watching her every move, an enemy-turned-friend-turned-maybe-more to contend with, and only thirty days until she turns eighteen, it’s a race against the clock for Iris to solve the most dangerous case of her life.

Captivating mystery

Love this author’s first book.
Thae writing started off a little uneven but developed nicely as the tale was spun!
Teens are so observant and it is demonstrated here how adults sometimes give credit where credit is due!
Happy reading (listening)!

Everyone. Is. Gay.

The story is decent, and as a gay person myself I was distracted by the amount of inclusion that was crammed into this story. I’m all for inclusion, but in no world are there THAT MANY lgbt+ people in one town. I felt like it was distracting for the story because it seemed forced.

Wish I could give it more stars

Wow….wow!!! Loved this!!! The story was so well written and narrated. Loved all the little twist’s throughout.

Enjoyed
