Review
In “Girl Forgotten” we follow young Piper Gray who is starting a True-Crime Podcast for her passion project. Piper absolutely needs to find out what happened to Layla Trello, and is doing everything she can in order to do so. However, her adventure soon becomes very dangerous.
Where should I start? You probably know that I loved the “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” Trilogy, or at least the first two books because I haven’t finished the third one yet. So I was absolutely thrilled to see that “Girl Forgotten” was also about a true-crime podcast hosted by a young adult.
I loved every second of this book. The writing style was fluent and managed to keep me hooked on the action. The chapters are very short, something I absolutely enjoy in Thrillers because it helps me to read faster. I simply didn’t want to put this book down, and highly encourage you to grab a copy of this one!
There were also some twists and turns and as the chapters are short and fast-paced, “Girl Forgotten” is a quick read.
This book is a must-read if you love True-Crime stories about small-town murders.

About the author
New York Times-bestselling author April Henry knows how to kill you in a two-dozen different ways. She makes up for a peaceful childhood in an intact home by killing off fictional characters. There was one detour on April’s path to destruction: when she was 12 she sent a short story about a six-foot tall frog who loved peanut butter to noted children’s author Roald Dahl. He liked it so much he showed it to his editor, who asked if she could publish it in Puffin Post, an international children’s magazine. By the time April was in her 30s, she had started writing about hit men, kidnappers, and drug dealers. She has published 27 mysteries and thrillers for teens and adults, with more to come. She is known for meticulously researching her novels to get the details right.
