The First Girl

Detective Katie Scott, Book 11

By: Jennifer Chase

Narrated by: Lisa Rost-Welling

The cold night breeze slams the barn door shut with a sickening crash. The girl curled in the corner wakes with a start. Her gold butterfly necklace catches the pale moonlight as she clutches it tight, thinking of her family. Will she ever escape? Or is his the last face she'll ever see?

Detective Katie Scott stares in horror at what she and her service dog Cisco have discovered: seven shallow graves, the bodies of young women each wrapped carefully in a blanket and buried in makeshift coffins. Miles of abandoned farmland stretch out from the treeline behind her. Has Katie uncovered the horrifying graveyard of a monster who has been stealing Pine Valley’s daughters for years?

Katie quickly identifies one of the victims as Abigail Andrews, a beautiful young woman who disappeared fifteen years ago. Katie is heartbroken that she'll have to tell Abigail's mother her darling girl is gone.

When Katie is ambushed working late at the scene, fired upon by an unknown assailant, she knows she must be close to finding the killer. But the shooter vanishes into thin air. And when a new young woman is taken, dark haired and dark eyed like the others, Katie realizes her time is running out. Can she stay alive long enough to track down this twisted murderer before another young life is stolen too soon?

An absolutely jaw-dropping crime thriller for fans of Lisa Regan, Rachel Caine and Melinda Leigh. You'll up be all night with this totally pulse-pounding listen from USA Today and Amazon bestseller Jennifer Chase!

ughhh

I want her with John. I'm not a Chad fan. I feel like he's in love with who she was before her army days and doesn't fully understand her now.

Ugh, love the

Series but she needs to be with John, why can’t we do that?? All that said super fun stories and great characters accept for Chad!

Couldn’t get into this one.

I was so disappointed. I enjoyed the other books in this series, but could NOT get into this one. I finished it, but don’t think I will purchase any more books in this series.
