The French Girl
Lexie Elliott
A decade ago, when six college friends were having a break at a
French farmhouse a local girl, Severine disappeared. When her body is
found in a well, the French police arrive in London to question, once
again the group of friends. So many years have passed, and most
haven't given Severine a second thought, except Kate Channing, mainly
because Severine haunts her daily. When the police seem to suspect
that Kate may have something to do with the murder, she realizes that
her career as a fledgling headhunter in London could be damaged if
the rumors spread. But, if she didn't do it who did? What about the
others? Did they have motive and opportunity for murder? It's hard to
believe that the dark heart of a murderer could exist within this
group, and yet it must.
The French Girl was a terrific read. I felt like I knew the
characters by the end of the story. This one was superbly written
with a great atmosphere and an ending that was not quite what I had
expected. I also loved that the author followed the characters after
the murderer had been uncovered. I didn't feel that I was left
hanging in the end and it provided a satisfying sense of closure to
the story. Hopefully, this debut novel will lead to more exciting
stories from a talented writer.
Thanks to Berkley Publishing for allowing me to read this book in exchange for
an honest review.
