I hadn't experienced Emily Gunnis' work before, but after listening to 'The Girls Left Behind,' I won't make that mistake again. This novel had me thoroughly engrossed and I became deeply invested in the lives of its characters from start to finish.
Set in Saltdean, Sussex, the story follows Superintendent Jo Hamilton, who is just days away from her retirement. When a young girl's body is discovered buried, it raises questions about a case that has haunted her for decades. Jo is a relatable character and it's impossible not to empathise with her journey through guilt and the weight of responsibility for events that transpired on a fateful night many years ago.
The narrative seamlessly switches between the past and Jo's present-day investigation. Emily Gunnis skillfully unravels both past and present mysteries, which kept me guessing about how they were interconnected until the very end. And what a conclusion it delivers!
'The Girls Left Behind' goes beyond the typical police procedural; it's a captivating mystery with a haunting and emotionally charged storyline. The narration by Clare Corbett is excellent and she truly brings the characters to life and made this a book I didn't want to stop listening to.
Many thanks to the author, Headline and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to and share my thoughts on this excellent book.
