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!
