Book Review of The Good Girl

The Good Girl
crytal avatar reviewed on + 155 more book reviews


The Good Girl is told in alternating viewpoints, by Colin (the kidnapper), Gabe (lead detective), and Eve (the mom) throughout the story. I have to admit, I was pretty bored for most of the first half of the book, with only the Colin sections interesting me. But then something happened during the Eve sections that made me sit up and take notice, and this sort of drew in the Gabe parts, and made everything interesting. The second half of the book kept me guessing as to how everything was going to finally come together. I am a sucker for a good Stockholm story, and this certainly was. And that ending! Had it not been for a twist that I didn't see coming, I probably would have only given this book 3 stars. Great job on my first of your books, Ms. Kubica!
