Girl, Forgotten (Andrea Oliver, #2)
by
by
This is the second book in the ‘Andrea Oliver’ series by author Karin Slaughter. Not sure why but I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the first one in the series. Well written as you get to expect with the author but for me personally just didn’t grip me as her books normally do.
Emily Vaughn is getting ready for her prom night at Longbill Beach which should be the highlight of her year but she has a secret that will result in her death.
Forty years later, US Marshal Andrea Oliver receives her first assignment. She is to go to Longbill Beach to protect a judge who is receiving death threats. Andrea is well aware of the Emily Vaughn case after learning of it twelve months ago and has been haunted by it ever since. The case remains open as no one was ever convicted so Andrea see’s this as a perfect chance to uncover the truth.
Writing this and thinking more about the story as well as looking at other reviews makes me wonder if I was just having a bad day when I read this. I certainly enjoy this authors books so fully intend to read more.
I would like to thank both Netgalley and Harper Collins for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

I don't think you were having a bad day. I had the same reaction.

Had the same reaction as well. I’ve read all her book. This was a little let down for me.
I am not the only one then
I was disappointed when I read this. I’ve read all of her books and usually they really capture my attention. This one was tough to get through.
I felt the exact same. I generally love her books and I was exited to continue Andrea’s storyline but I feel like it fell a little flat. Did not capture me like her books usually do and I didn’t feel any epic twists or wow moments like I hoped. She mentions Clay and Blake looking so similar and Blake dying in a trip with just the two of them, I hoped there would be something to that where somehow it was Blake that did it and he killed Clay and took over his identity and the Clay we know is actually Blake. But alas, it was a passing comment and didn’t go anywhere. I enjoyed the book but overall far from a favorite.

I have to agree with all of you. Love all her books, but this one just didn’t grab me as others have. I was thinking I just wasn’t in the correct frame of mind, but seems as if others had the same reaction. Will absolutely continue to read her other books.
