From the New York Times bestselling author of Justice for Sara and The First Wife comes a chilling new thriller about a ritualistic murder of a college professor that sends a small town cop back into the trauma she thought shed put behind her. Officer Miranda Rader of the Hammond PD in Louisiana is known for her honesty, integrity, and steady hand in a crisisbut that wasnt always so. Miranda comes from Jasper, just south of Hammond, a place about the size of a good spit on a hot day, and her side of the tracks was the wrong one. Shes worked hard to leave the girl she used to be behind and earn respect in her position as an officer. However, when Miranda and her partner are called to investigate the murder of one of the towns most beloved college professors, theyre unprepared for the gruesomeness of the scene. This murder is unlike any theyve ever investigated, and just when Miranda thinks shes seen the worst of it, she finds a piece of evidence that chills her to the core: a faded newspaper clipping about a terrible night from her long-buried past. Then another man turns up dead, this one a retired cop, and not just any copClint Wheeler, the cop who took her statement that night. Two murders, two very different men, two killings that on the surface had nothing in commonexcept Miranda. 15 years ago. And when her fingerprints turn up at the scene of the first murder, Miranda once again finds herself under the microscope, her honesty and integrity doubted, her motivations questioned. Alone again, the trust of her colleagues shattered, Miranda must try to trust the instincts shes pushed down for so long, and decide whats rightbefore its too late.

I finished this one and I‘ve been in such a reading slump it‘s the first one I‘ve finished in about 2 months. Spindler kind of backtracks and tells the story through a different time line. You kind of learn the key players and what happened before you learn who The Other Girl is. Her identity was a surprise to me. Some may call it a far fetched plot but I thought it was fast paced and reminiscent of old Lifetime movies.

Megabooks Glad you‘re working out of your slump! 5y

Why I like to read thrillers? They force me to use my little grey cells to decipher, untangle and examine every conversation, every action of the characters. They give me a rush. I expect them to be, well, thrilling. The first few chapters had me hooked. The book was unputdownable until, like a popped balloon the story just fizzled into a mass of convenient and predictable plot twists. It was a fun, fast read but too cliché for my taste. 3⭐️

While my youngest gets his braces put on, I‘m finally getting to this #netgalleyarc, which has actually been out for a while now. 🤦‍♀️ I‘m only 8% in but it already has my complete attention.

This was a really great thriller that kept me guessing and wondering until the very end. Every time I thought I had something figured out, the author threw in another wrench. It was a great story that combined two crimes past and present and the connections between them. Awesome ending and great characters. I really liked this one! #goodreadsgiveaways

Strong start with a nice hook, but it deflates quickly. There were too many conveniences in the plot which could‘ve been avoided if the back story/side plots were fleshed out. For a cop, Miranda is a little daft—she misses a obvious clues. I didn't find it overly psychological in nature, and the story was lacking a good twist. That being said, this was still an enjoyable read and I would definitely read this author again.

Enjoyed this book. It was fast paced. I thought I had figured out who had committed the murder, then, with Erica Spindler's writing, I thought I was wrong. At the end of the book, I ended up being right. One of the reasons I liked it. Happy Reading!

Finished this book. Though I guessed who the killer was part way through it didn‘t take away from this book being fast paced and to the point. I totally enjoyed it!

A fast, fun read. I did, however, figure out the killer fairly quickly. That never happens. 😎

🍭🍭🍭🍭This is a fast paced read. If I had not been working, I probably would have finished this in one sitting. This has a wonderful rhythm. However, it is just a regular mystery. I very seldom mention the price of a book…that is up to the reader on whether it is worth their money. But, $12.99 for this ebook. Not sure it is worth that money.

The strong start had me hooked right from the beginning and I liked the balance between the flashbacks to the past and the present. Miranda isn‘t exactly likeable, but her character development is well done and there is no doubt she is an interesting one. I did see the ending coming quite early, but still had an excellent time reading The Other Girl.

4,5/5 stars

Great puzzle. Enjoyed the female character power and the fact she was not giving in to man turning her down. Did not enjoy the romantic developments in this book. Felt sudden and forced.

Just the sort of book you want to curl up on the sofa with and read without interruption. Thoroughly enjoyable with realistic characters. One chance meeting changes the course of a girl's life but the crime that happened in her childhood is going to raise its head and demand attention.

"A chilling new thriller about a ritualistic murder of a college professor that sends a small town cop back into the trauma she thought she'd put behind her." I've never read Erica Spindler, Have You? #myjunebookmail
