Why read it?
1 author picked The Island of Lost Girls as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I have always been drawn to stories that are ripped from the headlines but are still so entirely their own.
When I first got the book, I was a little daunted by the length but as I read, I discovered I couldn’t put it down and was so sorry when it was over. A missing girl, a desperate mother—all set against the backdrop of an island that’s the playground of the ultra-wealthy. What’s not to love?
From Karen's list on mysteries told from more than one point of view.
