In 13 STOLEN GIRLS, the new novel in the Layla Remington Mystery series, author Gil Reavill did an outstanding job with keeping the suspense. With many surprises, you will be taken into another world of the rich and famous. This latest novel about a missing young star from more than 10 years ago will show you a side of Hollywood stars that even Layla finds not only disturbing but also common, at least in this fiction.
Layla Remington is investigating more than one missing girl case after she accidentally stumbles across a barrel found during an earthquake that holds the remains of Tarin Mistry. Tarin was a young actress who disappeared more than a decade ago and now her body is found, making this the most famous find in years. Even though two other detectives who think of Layla as a joke and take her off the case, Layla still cannot let this mystery go. Then she makes connections between this case and another recent missing girl that she was requested by the mother to handle. Things from there get creepy as Tarin's killer is still on the loose and with the clues adding up to point to some very powerful people. But are clues misleading? Will Layla catch the murder before it is too late without costing her own job?
If you love Gil Reavill's novels then you will not be disappointed in this one. 13 STOLEN GIRLS has a great ending with a lot of "wow" moments for me. I love suspense that has me thinking the whole way through. It is fast paced, but covers a lot of information so you are never wondering what just happened. This will be one of my favorite suspense for this year!
Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly or Nevada Barr, Gil
Reavillβs gripping new Layla Remington thriller plunges
readers beneath the glittering façade of Hollywood and into
a terrifying underworld where beautiful women can just . . .
disappear.
Malibu is crumbling. A monster earthquake has just ripped
apart some of the priciest real estate on the planet. In a
bizarre twist, it has also unearthed a grim secret buried
for years beneath one particularly unstable hilltop: a steel
barrel containing the mummified remains of Tarin Mistry, the
beautiful starlet who went missing more than a decade ago.
When Detective Investigator Layla Remington looks into that
wretched metal coffin, she realizes sheβs just landed the
case of a lifetime.
But before Layla even strips off her latex gloves, a pair of
hotshot LAPD detectives arrive on the scene and remove her
from the investigation. Undeterred, she pursues her own line
of inquiry. Risking her badge and her life, Laylaβs
determination to track down Tarinβs murderer takes her from
the rarified air of exclusive canyon communities to seedy
downtown sex clubs and the secluded lair of one of
Hollywoodβs most powerful men. But while Tarinβs case may be
cold, her killer is poised to strike againβand in Layla,
this depraved sociopath may have just found fresh prey.
