Three Girls Gone - Carolyn Arnold

 Three Girls Gone - Carolyn Arnold

Pub. Date: Aug. 27, 2025

She read

A young girl is missing. When her body, dressed in a ballerina tutu, is discovered in a local park, Prince William County (VA) Detective Amanda Steele and her partner, Trent, are on the case. They uncover a connection with a twelve-year-old case in which another child was taken and murdered. When a third girl goes missing, Amanda and Trent race against time to try to save her.

Yet another of Arnold’s fast-paced, suspenseful police procedurals, this is the fourteenth in the series, although it would work as a stand-alone.  Carolyn Arnold is one of my go-to authors and never disappoints. Once again, I devoured this book in a day as I couldn’t put it down. Arnold knows how to capture and maintain readers' interest and keep them briskly turning the pages. I enjoy the repeating characters, especially Amanda, who, despite an earlier tragedy in her life, is a strong, capable, independent, and empathetic woman, and her complicated relationship with Trent is always interesting. 

If you are a fan of police procedurals, and well written, suspenseful stories with compelling character development, I highly recommend this series. 

Thanks to #NetGalley and @Bookouture for the DRC.
