Officer Miranda Rader
of the Hammond PD in Louisiana is known for her honesty, integrity, and
steady hand in a crisis—but that wasn’t always so. Miranda comes from
Jasper, just south of Hammond, a place about the size of a good spit on a
hot day, and her side of the tracks was the wrong one. She’s worked
hard to leave the girl she used to be behind and earn respect in her
position as an officer.
However, when Miranda and her partner are
called to investigate the murder of one of the town’s most beloved
college professors, they’re unprepared for the gruesomeness of the
scene. This murder is unlike any they’ve ever investigated, and just
when Miranda thinks she’s seen the worst of it, she finds a piece of
evidence that chills her to the core: a faded newspaper clipping about a
terrible night from her long-buried past. Then another man turns up
dead, this one a retired cop, and not just any cop—Clint Wheeler, the
cop who took her statement that night. Two murders, two very different
men, two killings that on the surface had nothing in common—except
Miranda. 14 years ago.
And when her fingerprints turn up at the
scene of the first murder, Miranda once again finds herself under the
microscope, her honesty and integrity doubted, her motivations
questioned. Alone again, the trust of her colleagues shattered, Miranda
must try to trust the instincts she’s pushed down for so long, and
decide what’s right—before it’s too late.
Review: Thank you NetGallley for the copy of The Other Girl by Erica Spindler that I read and reviewed.
This
book was one heck of a read. At first I thought it was going to be a
boring book that I was going to know everything halfway through. Man was
I wrong. Spindler was full of surprises with this book and by the time I
finished The Other Girl I was left speechless. Just the way I love to
be left after I read a great suspense book.
This is a must read for
suspense fans and for Spindler fans as well. As I said before it is full
of surprises and twists and turns that will keep that reader on their
toes throughout the entire book. The characters are all excellent and
likeable and you can't help but want everyone to get their acts together
to right answer in the case.
I am giving The Other Girl five out of five stars.
