Angry with her boyfriend’s latest cancelation, twentyish art
teacher Mia Dennett meets Colin Thatcher.
He persuades her to spend the evening with him. Whereas the unhappy Mia assumes nothing
nefarious about the pick-up, Colin was hired to bring this daughter of a
prominent judge and socialite to his clients as part of a scheme to extract
favors from her parents especially her father.
After getting to know Mia a little, Colin changes the plan at
great risk to himself from his dangerous employers. Instead of delivery, he takes Mia to a remote
cabin in Minnesota before quietly returning her home though she seemingly
suffers from amnesia. While she was
abducted, her father ignored her plight; on the other hand Mia’s hysterical mom
Eve panicked over what was happening to her daughter. Chicago Police Detective Gabe Hoffman led the
search while also comforting Mia’s distraught mom.
The Good Girl is a refreshing stunning mystery that uses a unique
technique of rotating lead between Colin, Eve and Gabe with each chapter
starting with either “Before" or "After" the incident. Character-driven, Mary Kubica provides readers
with one of the best psychological
thrillers of the year.
