Tense, thrilling, and chilling story of a whip-smart podcaster determined to uncover a serial killer. Atmospheric and at times terrifying, this thriller has themes ripped from the headlines and a breathtaking pace. Anyone who loves true crime podcasts will love the chapters from the podcast’s perspective. The main character Elle is smart, gutsy and compassionate and you are rooting for her in this race against time, For fans of I’LL BE GONE IN THE DARK.

Wowzas, this was an awesome book. I read a ton of thriller/mysteries and listen to lots of true crime podcasts so it is difficult to impress me in the psychological thriller aspect....but this one did! It was written as part podcast and part story which I didn't think I was going to enioy. However, the format grew on my very quickly and I found the interviews in the podcast an excellent way to add more details to the crimes. It was also a super unique way to talk about the past rather than the typical back and forth narrative.
Loved the main character, she was fiesty and interesting and I am definitely hoping we see more of her. In this story she is chasing a decade old case called the Countdown Killer who is known for his particular numerical patterns in his killings. Super creepy.
I highly highly recommend this book if you love a good psychological thriller. I devoured it in 2 days and it left me feeling just the perfect amount of creeped out like a good Criminal Minds episode.
Don't miss out on this one!! Thanks Netgalley for the advanced copy!

GIRL, 11 by @asuiterclarke is a must-read for any true crime fan. Track down a killer alongside a super savvy podcast host with plenty of twists and turns along the way. I’LL BE GONE IN THE DARK meets SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. 5 out of 5 Elizas.

Thankyou to NetGalley, the publishers and the author, Amy Suiter Clarke, for the opportunity to read an advanced readers copy of Girl, 11 in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.
I thought the storyline was well written. The central character is a bit of an enigma until her backstory slowly unfolds. It was a good read.
Worth a read for fans of the genre.

The premise of this book had me hooked, and I was so excited to receive it....and I was not disappointed. Girl, 11 is about a podcaster with a past that slowly unfolds, chasing new clues on a decade old serial killer. Is he dead? In jail? Reformed? We soon learn he is alive and well, and ready to continue where he left off years ago.

A book with a podcast format is always going to intrigue me because SADIE did it so well and I am chasing that high again.

Girl 11 is SADIE and MIND HUNTER formed into one. I loved the darkness of the crimes and how the author did sigh away from details and I got the grittiness feeling of the investigation which reminded me of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.

So many references that true crime fans will cheer silently in their heads and so many twists and turns you are dizzy on every page but the ending is magical.

After a few books that have disappointed me I am happy to give four stars to Girl 11
