Many thanks to NetGalley, Scribner Books, and Michael Robotham for the opportunity to read his latest book and the second in the Cyrus Haven/Evie Cormac series. If you haven’t read Good Girl, Bad Girl - you must! 5 stars for another gripping read by a must-read author for me!
Criminal psychologist Cyrus Haven is still in close contact with Evie, the girl who was rescued from a secret room after a horrible crime, and with whom he has a tight bond. The woman who found her, Sasha, comes back into the picture as well. Evie is now living in a supposed secret children's home but she believes that people are following her and know where she is. But no one believes her until it is too late. Meanwhile, Cyrus is investigating the mysterious death of a fellow police officer who was looking into the case of someone involved with a child sex ring that has possible ties back to Evie's case.
The book is told in short chapters with the voices of Cyrus and Evie, but go back in time to learn more about what happened to Evie. A lot of this is hard to read because of the subject matter, but in Robotham's skilled hands, it is a gripping story that you will have a hard time putting down. He has created characters that you will love and want to know deeper. Evie's superpower is that she can detect when anyone is lying; she is such a resilient, feisty character that you will be rooting for the entire time. I can't wait for the next book!
