Only girl alive

Ocena: 6 (1 głosów)

As day breaks over the Tanner family home, the house is deadly silent and the door is firmly closed. Upstairs, the whole family lie cold and lifeless in their beds. All with the same look of fear in their unblinking eyes…

Detective Eve Bennet takes a steadying breath as she enters the main bedroom of the Tanners’ modest home in the tight-knit town of Hilldale, Utah. Mrs Tanner’s high-collared nightgown and her long plaited blonde hair are soaked in blood. Next to her, Mr Tanner’s hands are clasped together in a final prayer.

Filled with dread, Eve forces herself towards the children’s rooms. But instead of two children, she only finds one. Where is the youngest daughter, Hannah? And why are there long scratches across the walls?

Eve tracks Hannah down to her uncle’s house nearby. But he won’t let her step foot in the house. Eve knows what it’s like to be held captive by a family member, and fears for Hannah’s safety. What is he terrified Hannah might reveal?

Back at the Tanner home, Eve makes a shocking discovery in the dust covered attic. Mr Tanner was hiding a dark secret from the rest of the community—the kind of secret someone would kill for.

Realizing another family could be in danger, Eve runs from the house and stumbles into the path of the one man she spent years trying to forget— and he won’t let her get away this time. Can Eve escape the evil that has haunted her whole life? And will she catch the killer before another innocent family is murdered?

Fans of Melinda Leigh, Kendra Elliot and Lisa Regan will be absolutely gripped by this explosive and totally unputdownable crime thriller from a USA Today bestselling author.

Only girl alive - opinie o książce

A highly engaging thriller. I literally couldn't stop reading. I haven't read a novel with polygamous families yet. Mormons are a branch of Christianity. However, I don't think they believe in the same God as Catholics. The book introduces the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Members form a closed group. They're betting on marriage. They marry their relatives. Sick children are born. What do they do with them? You will know after reading. The husband is the most important. He has at least 2 wives. The boys can play. Women and girls have to work hard. In this hermetic environment, a tremendous tragedy took place. A family was killed, which consisted of a man, his two young wives and a son. Outside agents investigated the matter. They discovered that a 10-year-old girl had survived. Only no one knows where she is. The officers were worried about her. Her life is in danger. Whoever killed her family is probably hunting her now. I was horrified. I literally had shivers down my spine. She met some interesting and less interesting characters. Including: local prosecutor, Aaron. Pretty nasty dude. It does not facilitate the work of an external team. Why? Does he have something to hide? Another character and at the same time the main character is Detective Sergeant Eve Bennet. She used to belong to this community. Fortunately, she was saved from it. She had a hard time coming to her senses. This sect is brainwashing its followers. Will her reappearance in this environment suit her? Our heroine decided to help the woman and children of this sect. She is currently photographing crime scenes. Will this thing be easy for her? Will the members of this sect let go of her escape so easily? Will they work with her on a quadruple murder case? I liked this heroine. Eve is tough. She doesn't give up that easily. I've been wondering for a long time why she hasn't cut her hair yet? Was she going to return to that terrible sect? I fear for her future. The case of the quadruple murder will not be easy. Who wants the truth not to come out? The whole story takes place in the Utah. You will be truly horrified by this whole book. I would never want to belong to this sect. They are not followers of God. The men belonging to her are paedophiles. They take underage girls as wives. They are elderly themselves. They believe in some strange prophet and blindly follow his instructions. Thanks to author Holly S. Roberts for mentioning this community. We can learn a lot from it. Only Girl Alive is a sensational thriller that you must read. I hope that at some time there will be a second part of Detective Sergeant Eve Bennet. I'm very curious about her. I keep thinking about this book after reading it. She made a very positive impression on me. I didn't expect this. On top of all, this is a wonderful cover. If you're looking for a thriller that will shake you up, then be sure to read "Only Girl Alive". Learning what happened there, you will pick your jaws from the ground. The ending shocked me. I didn't expect that. An additional advantage is the plot twists. I never had a dull moment reading this novel. I wholeheartedly recommend Only Girl Alive, mommy_and_books.
