The French Girl by Lexie Elliott

The French Girl by Lexie Elliott

Trade Paperback published March 2019 – Berkley

Review copy provided by the publisher

My take: A group of university friends spend a holiday at a French farm-house that ends with the disappearance of a beautiful young woman from the house next door. Ten years later the cold case is re-opened when her body is found. The group of friends are at various stages of their careers and have scattered a bit. They’re brought back together now that the case is being investigated by fresh eyes. Told from the perspective of one of the friends, who also occasionally “sees” the dead girl, we get a feel of how everyone has changed over the years. My guess of who was responsible for the crime changed a few times. The pace was good and the closing chapters had me on the edge of my seat and looking forward to Lexie Elliott’s next book.
