The next Girl. Fast paced, lots of action good ending. Read it.

good plot repetitive writing. meh. i read to the end because i wanted to know if Gina would tell Hannah the truth. the writing was repetitive and the book could’ve been a short story without all the snotty noses, copious tears, and boring dialogue

Like. Like

Could not put it down. Well done 👏👏👏 riveting, thrilling, just what a thriller mystery should be! Thanks for the great read!

Nail bitting and amazing!. I could not and did not want to put this book down! The story is gripping and keeps you on the edge of your seat from the beginning. Very well written. I highly suggest this book if you like crime thrillers!

2.5 stars. This was a decent book and I found myself not wanting to put it down a couple of times, but the overall story was not overly gripping. I would still be open to reading some of the author’s other books.

Predictable. Within few pages, I knew who the culprit was.

Not my cup of tea. 100 pages in and no idea what is going on, maybe it all comes together but 7 chapters is a generous try! Each chapter changes stories and characters.

An easy read. A fairly standard police procedural about a kidnapped woman and the police’s attempts to locate her. The detective Gina Harte is likable enough and the story has a few interesting facets, as Gina battles her own past demons of domestic abuse. It was fairly predictable though and a bit melodramatic in places. I wouldn’t read any more in the series.

The Next Girl. Absolutely loved this book ! Can’t wait to read about Gina again soon

Very good. The only thing not to like is you end up unable to put it down, so be prepared for a late night.

Couldn’t put it down, a real page turner!!. Very well written with a strong, realistice, relatable female lead. So many layers and intriguing twists and turns. A great read, looking forward to starting the next one.

Great read. Well written. Keeps you in the moment. Hard to put down.

50/50. Loved reading this book and couldn’t put it down. Very terrible ending. Just fizzled out with no real wrap up. Extremely disappointing.

Great read. Wow, the pages kept turning as I became totally engrossed in the double sided drama between the detective & the perpetrator & everything else in between. Now onto the next in a long line of this author’s writings.

Great suspense story. An abandoned baby requires police to revisit a 4yr old cold case about Deborah who vanished one night. DI Gina boldly leads the case with a particular personal interest in domestic violence against women. Story told through Deborah and Gina’s POV. Great suspense story.

Not a fan. Didn’t really enjoy this one unfortunately. Found it quite boring, lots of unnecessary detail, and very simplistic plot line.

Gripping story but ending flopped. Great mystery novel and really compelling but right at the end there’s no real reason for the kidnapping. The killer is apprehended but there was no reason for the initial kidnapping.

A gripping read. I was hooked! The author really takes you to a different place without being over the top with descriptions. At times a pinch of humour added. The story was gripping and I couldn’t put the book down! Excellent.

Good Mystery. The book was interesting and kept me intrigued. There was good character development and the pacing worked well I did not think this novel had many thriller aspects and I felt that the ending\reveal was a let down. However, still a good read.

Loved it. Gripped me from the start!!

Dr T. Excellent read - my wife and I both Loved it !!!

The next girl. Gripping, couldn’t put it down. Thanks so much to the author.

Despair, angst and visually intimidating. I couldn’t put the book down.. Poor Deborah. I could feel each emotion through every character’s part. This book had me crying at the end. Loved this book. Can’t wait to read the next one.

The next girl. Excellent!

Utterly compelling. I couldn’t stop reading until I finished a headache and lack of sleep were worth it

Captivating. Loved the journey

The type of book you can't put down.. "The Next Girl" is a great book, that draws you in from the first page. Learning Gina's history is good, and it's written in such a way as to not overshadow the main plot. My only gripe would be that the spelling and grammar could be better. When I'm lost in the story, and the words are incorrect, it can be off putting.

Love it!. Gripping! Couldn’t put it done! A must read

Don’t waste your $.99. So much potential for a great story! The story line is so good but sadly disappointed with 90% of this book.Writing and dialog - boring, predictable with no depth. One star is being generous!

Gripping. First chapter didn’t have me wanting to continue, but after many days I’d decided to start again, and once I got past chapter one I found it hard to put down, exciting read all the rest of the way through.

Really cool book. I enjoyed this book. The suspense was well structured and rose dramatically as the end of the book loomed. Thought it was really good and can’t wait until the next book comes out.

Would burn it but it’s an ebook. Truly awfully written. What twist? I kept reading hoping for a return on my time but got nothing.

Good read!. A story that keeps you turning pages to the end, can't wait to read the next ones!

Great Book. It’s the first book in a while which gripped me in a “can’t put it down” way. Recommend the read!

Unputdownable. Read this over two days, fantastic thriller.

Read it in 2 days. Could not put this book down. It’s gripping and you can’t wait to turn the page. Easy writing style, and true to life.

Great read!. Couldn’t put it down and didn’t want it to end. Easy reading, exciting, well thought out characters. Thank you!

Holiday reading. A great book to read by the pool. Will definitely read the next in the series

4/5. Kept me on tender hooks until the end.

One of the best books I’ve read. One of the best books I’ve read!! Can’t wait to read the rest of them

Gripping read. I enjoyed this book a lot, it kept me gripped and wanting to know more throughout so made for a quick read. Not my favourite so far from this series (I have been reading them in the wrong order, and so far ‘her pretty bones’ is my favourite with the most twists and turns in my opinion). However, it makes for a good read and an exciting ending!

Easy read. I have not read a book for years & I finished this over two days. Simple story, easy to read & keep up with the characters & story line. Wish more had been given to the ending. I enjoyed it but looking for a more challenging read.

Well written detective thriller. An introduction to Gina Harte, another welcome detective series. The scenario is unusual and the tension builds up, with scenes flipping between the investigation and past events. Even as the resolution approaches, it’s still not certain how it will all turn out, which keeps you reading to the end.

Gripping book. Had me gripped from the beginning, you felt ‘right there’ with the characters. Starting the next one in the series and looking forward to the read.

Must read!. Hooked until the end, couldn’t put this down!

Had my heart racing. My New Year’s resolution was to start reading and my god this was a great way to start. This book had me gripped from page 1 and at times had my heart racing. I’ve already downloaded the next in the series.

The next girl. A gripping tale. Remember to breathe

Good read, disappointing ending.. The story had me hooked from the off, so much detail, however the ending was very quick, I was left disappointed and there was to many unanswered questions.

Gripping. The first of many in the series, a very good read and so gripping. Having read a few in the series now I really enjoy her style and method of writing, not to mention the stories themselves. I have now finished the fifth and is just as good as the first. Brilliant author.

Great read……….. Brilliant!!

What a storyline. This book grabbed me and pulled me in really quickly. Full of suspense but also human emotion and well developed characters. Thoroughly recommended.

Good book. Couldn’t put this down, really good read, somethings were predictable but still a good read. Wish it would’ve said more about the husband & wife’s reunion though at the end

Amazing. I love a good detective book and honestly I’ve read all 4 books in this series in the past week and have loved each and every chapter of them! Highly recommend these books to anyone! Amazing.

Keeps you guessing!. Great read, love Gina’s character. Gritty and suspenseful! Can’t wait to read book 2

Fantastic book. Started reading 3 days ago and have just finished it today. Gripping and exciting. Cannot wait to read the rest of the detective series!

Amazing read, very gifted writer. Well done!

Good. It was nice for there to be a happy ending

Real page turner!!. I was gripped from start to finish. Would highly recommend. Will certainly be reading more from this author! Kerry

Great read. Bit of a slow start but once I worked out who the characters were and their significance to the story, I really enjoyed it.

The next girl. The best crime novel I have read to date. The novel has you gripped right from the very beginning putting you almost in a trance as all’s you can think about is the book, so much so I’ve finished it in less than 24 hours! The way that the author makes it so there is so many different ways one thing can go and leaves you edging to know the outcome and the rollercoaster of emotions that they cleverly put you through, it is just absolutely phenomenal! It is a masterpiece!

Great reas. Couldn’t put the book down, really enjoyed it

Gripping. Well written, gripping storyline and relatable characters. Highly recommended

Great read. Kept me guessing

A fantastic page turning read. I could not stop reading at any point, leading to many hours of turning pages and anticipating the next surprise. A truly fantastic read, definitely wanting to read the rest of the series now! :)

Ok. Good story, just found a few things a little hard to believe..but finished the book.

Couldn’t put this down. Read over a weekend. Gripping storyline. Downloading the next book in the series now!

The Next Girl. One of the best books I have read in a very long time, totally gripping all the way through, very well written. A really good read.

Extremely slow. Overall,I found the book amazing,except for at times when Debbie managed to get away but then Jeff found her,the author put too many chapters in between the next scene of Debbie to write about Gina interviewing people linked to Debbie’s disappearance even though they have very little information.The author also wrote a lot unnecessary information and made the story extremely slow in the middle.The end was satisfying to read after wasting time reading about Gina’s perspective.Still a good book,I recommend to people with incredible patience.

Couldn’t put it down!!!. 5*

The next girl. Best book I’ve read in ages!! Couldn’t put it down! Highly recommended. Look forward to reading the next book in this series 👍

The Next Girl. 5 Stars ... Couldn’t put it down. Gripped me from the moment I picked it up. A very interesting concept that builds with intensity until the very last page. I’ve downloaded the rest of the series already!

Fantastic book. Love this book well recommended

Good story. I enjoyed the book but just could not stand how much reference there was to the detective & officer having colds & too much detail about nose blowing & spitting lol. I like to enjoy a cuppa & read but had to drink first or I’d be put off. I thought the amount of times it was referred to & detail was so weird. Just bizarre. Good read if you’re not put off by that kind of thing

Brilliant read. Well done Carla was a really hooking book and haven’t put it down read the whole story in 24 hours lol. Can’t wait to read the next one.

Gripping, shocking and thrilling!. I was hooked from the very start. Finished it in 2 sittings. DI Gina Harte is my new fav!

Couldn’t put it down!!. One of the best books I’ve read in a while!!

Really Fricking good read!. Loved this and loved the twist at the end

Unputdownable. I don’t usually read this type of book but found this spellbinding. Read it in 2 days as I couldn’t put it down.

The next girl. A good read I couldn’t wait to find out what happened!!

Great read. Loved this book so much

Needs another proofread but exciting all in all. The book in itself was pretty good, enjoyed the plot and some of the characters but some sections felt rushed, with some bits not reading well and a slip up on a characters name once or twice which took me out of it a bit. Still think it’s worth the read but definitely not for the faint hearted.

The next girl. Brilliant!! Couldn’t put this down x

Excellent thriller. This book takes some putting down. The storyline moves at a fast pace, along with the numerous twists and turns you are hooked

The Next Girl. Loved this book I couldn’t put it down

How sad. This was unimaginable. That someone could survive captivity for so long is heartbreaking. The characters are fantastic and the author keeps the reader guessing until the last few chapters.

I couldn’t put the book down. I’m not much of a reader, but since purchasing a new ipad I figured why not. This book was phenomenal. I couldn’t put it down.

The Next Girl. Really enjoyed this book a bit slow in beginning, still good book. Thanks k

Banshee. Snjzjx

Great story plot. I think this was a really great story idea but the writing was subpar and disappointing! The author skimped on details......this is a thriller.....we need character development...we need to know why the villain killed......yes we know he was an only child of a doting mother but that explains none of his behavior.....did mum abuse or neglect him? Did he have any moments of epiphany in childhood or was he just a sociopath???? The writing left much to be desired

The Next Girl. This book was very fast moving, and had me up reading all night. I loved the suspense and the swirl of the characters as the moved through the story. Good read!!

Gripping and Exciting. This book was gripping and exciting. I had a hard time putting it down.

Not sure it fits the story.. Can't put it down even though it is hard to read so much pain. Sadly it has happened to many. Fran

The Next Girl. I enjoyed reading this story. Held my interest and was hoping for a happy ending. Have to find out for yourself!

Her Final Hour. I loved this book!! Gulped it down in two days and looking forward to Carla’s next.

Where was the suspense?. Based on the cover, I was anticipating a big plot twist. Nothing really happens and then it ends really quickly. Let down.

DI Harte Series. The start of an amazing series with DI Harte and her little police family. Read them all!

The Next Girl. I completely enjoyed the book. Read it throughout one day. Well worth it.

Nail biting!. Great writing. Felt like I was a part of Harte’s team! Completely drowned in this book. Cannot wait to read book 2!!!

Good book but not the thriller I was expecting. I thought the book was overall a good ready. I liked the characters which is what kept me going through the story. I wanted to find out what would happen with them. I liked how the author linked Ginas story with the case she was working and showed how more often than not you’ll come across a case that directly effects you and brings out personal issues. I wasn’t bored and I hoped that the characters would make it through. It definitely isn’t the heart stopping thriller that I was expecting and that many reviews claimed it would be which is why I gave it 3 stars. The ending wasn’t overly dramatic. There was no crazy twist. Not to say it was expected but it wasn’t a mind blowing outcome. Also I’d hoped to see find out more about DI Harte. I’m not sure if the author left off the way they did because it’s to come in another book but I can’t see myself buying another book just to find out.

Great read. Wasn’t expecting to enjoy this book, but was captivated by the story and how well Kovach was able to imagine the characters and scenes. A real page turner for sure!

Worth the read. Incredibly written and suspenseful. Love the way it builds and each point of view

Read this Book!. I will be prepaying for the next book. Just finished and can’t wait for the next!!! A new favorite author!!!

The Next Girl by Carla Kovach. WOW‼️. If you love nail biting, page-turning thrillers full of twists & turns you’ll absolutely love Carla Kovach’s novel, The Next Girl‼️. Her characters are so believable - the good & the bad ones. DI Gina Harte & her team are a likable lot as are the missing woman’s family! Get your copy & Start reading today! Carol R. Florida USA

BEST book I’ve read in AGES. My heart pumped and hands trembled constantly. Couldn’t put it down. The ONLY reason I’m not immediately starting the next volume is because I need a little breather after this bad boy. (Trigger warning if you’re an abuse surviver. Parts were difficult to read.)

Amazing!. Read it in less than 24 hours! Amazing!

Very good book. I have been trying to start reading more and the description drew me in. Once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down!

The Next Girl. A very gripping book. Well written.

Edge of my seat good!. Enjoyed reading this edge of my seat read. The premise is superb, and the interaction with the characters and the emotion is brilliant.

The next girl. All the reviews were right on the same things that I would have said so there is nothing more To say except that I need more sleep so lighten up a bit hahaha 😇

Mediocre. Strong start but messy ending

Not at all what I expected. Dirty book. Do not read.

bffr. how has no one made a review about the author doing zero proof reading? the amount of misspelling and incorrect grammar in this book is kind of horrifying, and i only made it to the 4th page.

Not my favorite. What’s the deal with every male character “sobbing” literally on every single page of this book? It gets pretty annoying and cringe worthy by a 1/3 of the way in. If you’re looking for a strong, kickass male character then this read is most definitely not your cup of tea...

Enjoyed!!!!!. My Review: Loved, loved and more loved!!!!! What a great start to a wonderful series. This is not my first rodeo with this author and it certainly won’t be my last. I do have to admit though that I have been a bad girl and have been reading this series out of order. I know that’s not how it’s supposed to go. I started with the newer books first and now I’m going backwards getting to the older ones last. Each book can be read and very much enjoyed as a stand alone. I do want to say though that I am loving catching up with all the characters from the very beginning of their journey. It’s nice seeing the growth of every character as each book passes. Also, it’s nice to see how certain relationships first got started. I can’t wait to read more of this author and series. It’s one of my favorites. In conclusion, the plot, the characters and all the twists in this book made this book an enjoyable read. I would definitely recommend it and happily give it 5 Hearts❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Iola. And km

Keeps you guessing. It jumped a little in the beginning setting up characters. The story line kept you guessing and not want to put it down. You’ll enjoy this book!

Hooked, line and sinker. I was hooked from start to finish! Good luck putting this book down! Happy to have found a new author to follow!

Good first attempt. Book was gripping in the story telling, but felt too redundant. Too many expressions repeated over multiple characters over multiple occasions. Scene descriptions felt forced at time of urgency. At times, it felt being dragged to fill up the pages. A lot of time spent in imaginative inner voice narrations, what ifs and possibilities than actual events. 250 pages out of 570 were pretty binding and interesting. Mystery was well created, characters were well built, and some situation/scene descriptions were pretty amazingly worded. However, as a reader, you feel like the writer or editor overdid the details with overwhelming similar brushstroke patterns all over the canvas!

Eh ok book. Why were all the characters so snotty and coughing through out the whole book?! Very distracting and had nothing to do with the narrative!

The Next Girl. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I couldn’t put it down. Great story, great characters. Suspense on every page!

A good read!. Different points felt like it dragged. However, overall I couldn’t put it down.

Nice book. Love it. But things are really going too fast…

Good to a point. This is a good read. Characters are interesting, the story moves along. I did find the mother-daughter conflict a little draggy, as I did with the guilt factor with the husband. I think both those areas could’ve been done a little better. All in all it was a good read. I’m not sure if I’m going to finish out this series, I just found it not as suspenseful as it was built up to be. I liked it, however it just didn’t grip me as much as I had hoped. I give it three stars.

Gripping!. Fast paced, hooks you immediately!

Wonderful. Great suspenseful book!

Thrilling. Finished book in 3 days. It was awesome! I couldn’t put it down!

Page-Turner!. I read this book in 2-3 days. It went so quickly because the suspense is a page turner. It does not disappoint. I bought the next book immediately after reading the epilogue :)

Couldn’t Stop Reading. It was probably the quickest book I ever read. It sucked me in immediately. It had just the right amount of suspense without being too ridiculous. The author did a good job at making the villain very creepy. The author also did a great job on the visualization of the story. I would have liked to see how the side stories would have wrapped up, but I get it.

Great quick read!. Definitely keeps you guessing til the end! Couldn’t put it down!

Murder mystery. Set in UK small town precinct, serial killer delusional kidnapper, rapist, matricide, general lowlife. High action and events make sense from a crazy persons point of view. Enjoyed this story.

Gripping. Great characters, well written, and full of suspense. Not an especially original plot, but fun to read. I’m ready to dive into her next one.

Well.... A little slow and some padding of the story in a couple of areas but I give the book a rating of 5 because it was a cracking good story. Well done.

The Next Girl. Well written & kept my interest. I recommend this if you are interested in lots of mystery & who done it. camie12Jan.2023

I wow. Read this quickly. Very good!
