I received a digital arc of this from netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I wasn't sure what to expect as it has mixed reviews and I've not read anything by this author previously. It took me a while to get into it but then I didn't want to put it down. I wouldn't say that the person who killed Molly was a shock to me but other aspects of the story were definitely unexpected.

This book sounded like it would be good and i had such high hopes for it. Even the cover caught my attention.
I usually love anything this author writes but this one failed to gain and keep my attention. The characters were not fully devolved and i could not really connect with any of them. Some parts of the book were a little repetitive. I figured out who the killer was very, very early in the story. So many things in this book were just so unbelievable. All in all this was an ok read.

This was a superb psychological suspense thriller.   It was a book that I knew I was going to love right from the first chapter.  This book kept me guessing the whole way through. At times I thought I had it all sussed out only to discover I was completely on the wrong track,  5 stars 🌟

This was the first book I have read from this author. It was a very quick read-I read it in 1 day-but it fell a bit flat for me. This storyline has been overdone in recent years and the book was very predictable. I actually figured out who the killer was before I reached the 5th chapter. I’m not sure I would ever pick up another book by this author.

Thank you NetGalley and Black Thorn for the advanced copy of this book. 
This was for me, then it wasn't, then it was, I couldn't decide. 
I didn't get on with the style of writing, as is It constantly flipped between younger style writing and serious writing.  I couldn't keep up with the store and got confused at times.  To be honest this wasn't for me but it will be for some. .

The premisewas great, and the pace was to my personal liking! The dialogue wasn’t the greatest, sometimes it was too formal. But overall enjoyable read

Disclaimer: I received this book from Netgally for review purposes.


 Blair was raised in a pretty shitty environment. After her mother's death she was forced to live with her racist, Nazi loving Uncle, so when she left town and restarted her life fresh she nevee thought she'd return...until her sisters cancer brings her back home to say goodbye. Blair ends up staying far longer than anticipated when on her sisters deathbed she reveals a secret she'd kept her whole life - which involves the murder of Blair's childhood best friend.

This book started quick and had me glued in from the first chapter. It did seem to drag at times but not in an unpleasant way. The characters were well fleshed out and the story was strong. It was a little easy to figure out the 'who' for me but I didn't guess the 'why'. Also felt like a quick read - hard to put down.

It touches on some pretty taboo topics but all of it felt very relevant in today's world. I'd recommend. I enjoyed it!

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher of an ARC of this in exchange for an honest review.  This book was ok it didn't draw me the way I like a book to. I would still recommend

Blair's best friend is murdered one raining night, body dumped in the woods.  The wrong man is put away for it.  Blair's has a death bed confession.  This was a nail biter for sure.  The untangling of the mystery of what happened to Molly will keep you on edge.

Thank you Netgalley for the chance to read and review this title. I will review this title at a different date.

This has a really odd writing style. It constantly flips between younger style writing and serious writing. Couldn't quite keep up with it. Not my taste.

The girl in the woods by Patricia Macdonald l give this book 3.5 stars 

"I have to tell you something . . . I did something bad.”

Blairs best friend is murdered,years later her sister confesses to a lie she told.This story is Blairs mission to free a man serving time for the killing and hunt down the real killer who got away with it.
An enjoyable read,not quite a thriller more a mystery.The story moves along at a good pace and l didn't guess the ending.
Thanks for the chance to read this book through Netgalley

A huge Thank You to The author, The publisher and Netgalley for providing the e-arc in exchange for a unbiased review of these works.

Amazing!! kept you guessing the whole way through and then twists you all again! could not put this book down!

Very enjoyable read. Kept me guessing throughout the entire book. Very satisfied with the ending. Definitely recommend for thriller fans.

Blair Butler returned to her home town, which has has been avoiding since the death of her best friend, to visit her dying sister.  
Blair was expecting a peaceful goodbye, however when Celeste makes a shocking confession on her deathbed, Blair promises her sister that she will find out exactly what happened that night. 

The book is full of suspense and had me guessing throughout.  I found the ending very satisfying and overall enjoyed this book.

Really enjoyable read. Good characters and a Good story. Well worth a read. Think others will enjoy.

Great story! I enjoyed it and was just the right about confused. So interesting. And when the truth came out it was a shock. A worthwhile read.

This book was a slow starter for me, I'm not sure why because I love this genre and type of story. Cold case about the MC's best friend from childhood? Sign me up. I pushed through and did enjoy the story and the twists and turns of the case. I think there was just too much exposition and not enough action but still a great story.

The Girl in the Woods is an exciting and claustrophobic crime thriller.  A murdered schoolgirl, a terrible miscarriage of justice and a young woman's quest to solve the mystery whilst endangering her life.  An enjoyable read.

I am no longer interested in the content of this book. So, I'm DNF'ing this book for now. I may circle back around to this book one day.
