نقد و بررسی
Narrator Johnny Heller is featured as Detective Gabe Hoffman in this gritty thriller for listeners with nerves of steel. On a scary autumn evening, Mia Dennitt is kidnapped. Hoffman and Mia's mother search for Mia, who is taken to a freezing cabin in upstate Minnesota. Tom Taylorson delivers the kidnapper's story of love and betrayal in hard, cold tones. In contrast, Lindy Nettleton's soft British voice conveys the mother's horror over the abduction of her daughter. The narrators alternate chapters, describing events before and after Mia's rescue. Mia's character, portrayed by Andi Arndt, is silent until the epilogue, the final 15 minutes of this sad story of a broken home and betrayal. This chilling mystery tugs at the heartstrings.

Starred review from May 12, 2014
At the outset of Kubica's powerful debut, free-spirited 24-year-old Mia Dennett, an art teacher at an alternative high school and a member of a well-heeled, well-connected Chicago family, goes missing. As puzzling as Mia's presumed kidnapping initially appears, things turn infinitely stranger after her eventual return, seemingly with no memory of what happened to her or, indeed, of her identity as Mia. Key characters share the narrative in chapters labeled either "Before" or "After," allowing the reader to join shattered mother Eve and sympathetic Det. Gabe Hoffman on their treacherous journey to solve the mystery and truly save Mia. Almost nothing turns out as expected, which, along with the novel's structure and deep Midwestern roots, will encourage comparisons to Gone Girl. Unlike that dazzling duel between what prove to be a pair of sociopaths, this Girl has heartâwhich makes it all the more devastating when the author breaks it. Agent: Rachael Dillon Fried, Greenburger Associates.
