"A gripping thriller that will blow readers away." -Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author on Don't Believe It "A superb storyteller." --Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author Two abducted girls--one who returns, one who doesn't. The night they go missing, high school seniors Nicole Cutty and Megan McDonald are at a beach party in their small town of Emerson Bay, North Carolina. Police launch a massive search, but hope is almost lost--until Megan escapes from a bunker deep in the woods...A year later, the bestselling account of her ordeal has made Megan a celebrity. It's a triumphant story, except for one inconvenient detail: Nicole is still missing. Nicole's older sister, Livia, a fellow in forensic pathology, expects that one day soon Nicole's body will be found and her sister's fate determined. Instead, the first clue comes from another body--that of a young man connected to Nicole's past. Livia reaches out to Megan to learn more about that fateful night. Other girls have disappeared, and she's increasingly sure the cases are connected. Megan knows more than she revealed in her book. Flashes of memory are pointing to something more monstrous than she described. And the deeper she and Livia dig, the more they realize that sometimes true terror lies in finding exactly what you've been looking for... Review: Gripping and beautifully structured - Just finished this chilling thriller, and what stood out for me is Charlie Donlea’s writing. The prose is sharp, and so precise that with each chapter, you’re pulled deeper without even noticing. He shifts between timelines seamlessly and keeps the tension constant and tight throughout. The way Donlea words mystery and merges in the trauma is quiet yet intense, he doesn’t overwhelm the reader yet channels the emotions right. There are these emotional undercurrents throughout with precise forensic details along with small-town secrets, all this in his crisp storytelling that kept me turning pages late into the night. A smart, gripping, beautifully structured thriller that lingers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review: I loved it - that kind of book that is impossible to stop reading ## Features - Paperback - Language: English - Author: Donlea, Charlie - Number of Pages: 352 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #56,073 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #648 in Psychological Thrillers #2,507 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction #4,785 in Literary Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,389 Reviews | ## Images ![The Girl Who Was Taken: A Gripping Psychological Thriller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812MGpLfgsL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gripping and beautifully structured *by N***A on 12 December 2025* Just finished this chilling thriller, and what stood out for me is Charlie Donlea’s writing.
