Detective Billie Ann Wilde Series: Book 4
Publication Date: December 3, 2024
Madison was supposed to be on the school bus. But she never made it home…
Detective Billie Ann Wilde assesses the couple sitting awkwardly on plastic chairs in her interview room, certain she knows exactly what has happened to little Madison Harris. She was supposed to come home on the school bus, but her cold body was found in local marshlands, and as her mother cries desperately, her stepfather, John, barely looks up. And they found Madison’s blood in John’s car…
With John arrested, Billie is certain she has put a killer behind bars, but it’s not long before she hears the heart-shattering news that another girl is missing. Sweet ten-year-old Kayla has also vanished on her way home from school, and with John in custody, it couldn’t have been him. Billie’s only lead is gone.
At Kayla’s house, Billie finds tracks leading to the gnarled trees surrounding the marshes. She races through the wetlands and sees a pale shape floating on the surface of the water. As Billie cradles Kayla’s half-drowned body, desperately hoping she got there in time, she winces when she sees a mark freshly carved into Kayla’s skin.
Certain the intricate star-shaped branding is the key to unlocking the case, Billie shares it with Madison’s mother, who instantly recognizes it as the symbol of her old church. Is there danger hidden behind those private, imposing walls? As another mother finds her little girl gone, Billie will have to fight harder than ever to unlock the truth and save another innocent from being marked by a monster…
A tense and electrifying thriller from international, multi-million-copy bestseller Willow Rose that will have you racing through the pages to the heart-pounding ending. Fans of Lisa Regan, Mary Stone and Kendra Elliot will love the unstoppable twists and turns.
A missing girl sends Detective Billie Ann Wilder into overdrive in a race against the clock in Find My Girl by Willow Rose.
Detective Billie Ann Wilder is working to get her life back in line. Moving into a new apartment and fighting to get back custody of her children, she relies on her religious parents for help. But when a young girl goes missing, she jumps into action to find her. What follows is a string of kidnappings that send Billie into a religious cult that hits far too close to home. Can Billie solve the mystery before it is too late?
Find My Girl is high energy. It never lets off the gas for the entire story. The mystery was intriguing, and the first chapter drew me into the story. However, I found the writing to be very melodramatic. Everything was at a fever pitch. Billie didn’t just get into her car—she bound to her car door, ripping it open and clutching the wheel before jerking into a parking spot. It was hard to connect to the characters because of this. No one felt authentic, and the dialogue felt just as dramatic as the rest of the story. I wanted to like the characters and dive into the mystery, but it was just too hard with the writing style. I would have appreciated a slower story with more grounded characters.
Find My Girl is a thriller that never lets off the gas. Its unique twists will leave you guessing until the end.
