Author: Rith Dugdall

Publication Date: October 31, 2015
I received this book in an e-arc format from netgalley.com and the publisher in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
Description:
Probation officer, Cate Austin, has moved for a fresh start, along with her daughter Amelia, to live with her police detective boyfriend, Olivier Massard. But when she realises just how casually he is taking the disappearance of Ellie, Cate decides to investigate matters for herself. She discovers Luxembourg has a dark heart. With its geographical position, could it be the centre of a child trafficking ring? As Cate comes closer to discovering Ellie’s whereabouts she uncovers a hidden world, placing herself in danger, not just from traffickers, but from a source much closer to home.
My Review:
Nowhere Girl is the story of Cate and her daughter moving in with Cate's boyfriend. After they begin to get settled Cate becomes a little unnerved about a case her boyfriend is working on and doesn't like how he is handling the situation.
Cate decides to step in and take matters into her own hands and begin investigating on her own which only leads to more discoveries about the town she thought would be a safe place for her daughter to grow up.
Sex rings, mysterious characters, and complex relationships really add to this stories overall feel and I think that really worked for it and would be a great fall/Halloween read for someone who didn't like monsters and gore but erred more on the side of psychological thriller.
I think this was a sharp look at the sex trade in our day and age and also the "twist" for the book was a bit predictable but still added a needed layer to the story. I would definitely recommend this read and would suggest this to people who like thrillers and crime fiction.
My Star Rating:
3.5 out of 5
