The Lost Girls of Johnson's Bayou

De: Jana DeLeon

Narrado por: Blythe Renay

In this standalone classic from New York Times bestselling author Jana DeLeon, two people with secrets must learn to trust each other if they’re to find the answers they’re seeking…

She was only six when she walked out of the swamp after the LeBlanc School for Girls caught on fire. Sixteen years after the terrifying night that stole her memory, a child’s scream lures Ginny back into the woods…where a strong arm encircles her. The gun-wielding stranger is Paul Stanton, a cop-turned-P.I., who’s come to Johnson’s Bayou looking for answers of his own.

Paul has spent almost two decades searching for his missing sister and now, this Southern beauty could be the key to his quest. But someone would rather see Ginny dead than have her memories resurface. And although uncovering the dark secrets of the past could put them both at risk, it’s a chance Paul’s willing to take if it means finding his future…with Ginny.

The characters had. depth

There was no pause between sections... switching characters... point of view... I had to back it up a couple of times to get what happened and understand the transition to a new person.

Narrator sounds like a child.

The book was good but the childish voice of the narrator made it hard to take the book serious. The book is a bit corny in places but overall was entertaining.

Enjoyable storyline

Listen to this book on a rainy Saturday. Somewhat predictable, but I enjoyed it. Likable characters.

I liked the mystery.

I liked the narrator, but I wish her voices were a little more distinguishable from make to female and each character.

It's entertaining

I am not sure I would listen to another story from this writer but maybe. The cadence was interesting as it felt like there weren't chapters. There were but it just didn't feel like it. It made some of the transitions a bit jarring. The end felt a little YA. I don't hate that genre, just wasn't expected.
