Look for Her: A Novel | Emily Winslow
9 posts | 9 read | 13 to read
Everyone loves a beautiful missing girl a gripping psychological thriller that delves into the grief, jealousy, and unresolved mystery surrounding a cold case kidnapping, in the vein of Gilly MacMillan and Mary Kubica. Just outside of Cambridge, Lilling seems like an unassuming idyllic English village, but its home to a dark history. In 1976, a teenage girl named Annalise Wood disappeared while riding her bike home from school. Though her body was later discovered in a shallow grave, the culprit was never found. Decades later, Annalise maintains a perverse kind of celebrity in the small town, and is still the focus of grief, speculation, and for one young woman, a disturbing, escalating jealousy. When DNA linked to the Annalise murder unexpectedly surfaces, cold case investigator Morris Keene realizes he may now have the chance of his career. Morris and his former partner, Chloe Frohmann, hope to finally solve this perplexing mystery, and bring closure to a traumatized community. But the new evidence that should be the simple solution instead undoes the case's only certainty: the buried body that had long ago been confidently identified as Annalise may be someone else entirely, and instead of answers, the investigators face only new puzzles. Whose body was unearthed all those years ago, and what happened to the real Annalise? Could she have had a secret child? Is someone interfering with the investigation? And is there a link to a present-day drowning with eerie connections? With piercing insight and fascinating twists, Emily Winslow explores the dark side of sensationalized crime in this haunting psychological thriller.

The majority of this book was a pretty solid murder mystery/thriller. Then the last 15-ish pages came along and ruined everything. I honestly would have preferred that 2 of the 3 murders went unsolved than to have them only solved because everything just happened to conveniently fall into the detectives' laps at the exact moment they were ready to give up.

Hate jumping into a “series” four books in, but at least I‘ll know if I want to backtrack 😉

AVChrista It was worth it, I really enjoyed this book. Guess I‘ll have to backtrack and read the others now! 6y

Features Det. Morris and Det. Frohmann as they work on a cold case from the 1970‘s: a missing girl whose body was found years later, now with new DNA evidence.

Interesting story, character-driven, a great twist at the end. I wish I had been able to connect more with the detectives. Perhaps this is because I‘m missing their backstories from previous books. This is fourth in the series, which I didn‘t know when I started it; works as a standalone.

This book really hit home for me. It‘s about a young girl who disappears one day & becomes a legend in her town. New evidence reopens the case years later & this follows the stories of the detectives working the case & a psychiatrist who is somehow involved. I say it hit home for me because a beautiful girl who lived across the street from me & grew up with my kids disappeared when she was 17 & is believed murdered. Made this hard to read.

The fourth in a series, Winslow is getting better with each book. Told from various points of view in first person narrative, this case is about a cold case of a beautiful missing girl from a small English village.

The partnership between Keene and Frohmann is what great detective series are made of. These characters are flawed, but endearing, and just so likeable.
