Book Overview
The USA Today bestselling author of Somebody's Daughter and Layover presents a twist-filled thriller about a troubled family with long-buried secrets... The past has arrived uninvited at Jason Danvers's door in the form of his younger sister, Hayden, a former addict who severed all contact with her family as her life spiraled out of control. Now she's clean and sober but in need of a desperate favor--she asks Jason and his wife to take care of her teenage daughter for forty-eight hours while she handles some business in town. But Hayden never returns. Her disappearance brings up more unresolved problems from Jason's past, including the abrupt departure of his best friend on the night of their high school graduation twenty-seven years earlier. When a body is discovered in the woods, the mysteries of his sister's life--and possible death--deepen. One by one these events will shatter every expectation Jason has ever had about families, about the awful truths that bind them, and the secrets that should be taken to the grave.

Nearly terrific
Published by Books. Oxygen. Peanut butter. , 8 months ago
"Forgotten Girl" (my first Bell book) was gripping, memorable and VERY well written/edited. A few off-center things: 1) The basic premise -- warning a hyper-violent criminal in advance that you're going to turn him in for an old murder -- doesn't pass the smell test. (Did she think he was going to say, "Gosh, what a good idea"???) 2) There was a long repetitive stretch (Hayden's missing ... Hayden's missing ... guess what, Hayden's still missing). 3) I don't get the title. Nevertheless, I'll be reading more by this fine writer.
Suspenseful
Published by Sandy , 3 years ago
I am a fan of David Baldacci and John Sanford. This was my first David Bell novel but it won’t be my last. While not as “intricate” as the other authors this book was suspenseful. The characters were relatable and well thought out. I found myself waiting for a boring chapter to put the book down - but there wasn’t any! Read it in two days.
