Once again author Chris Whitaker has penned another fabulous book - this time "All The Wicked Girls" in a similar theme to his highly successful "Tall Oaks".
I highly enjoyed this book, I was drawn into the story immediately and it never let go, keeping me gripped to the very end.
Everyone loves model student Summer Ryan, she's a ray of light in the struggling small town of Grace, Alabama, especially compared to her troubled sister Raine. Then Summer goes missing, after several girls also went missing in Briar County and never found the residents aren't sure whether the same person nicknamed "The Bird" is responsible for Summer's disappearance. Her sister throws herself into finding her, supported by a most unlikely ally. But maybe there was more to Summer than meets the eye.....
There was a very compelling storyline that ran through this book with some adorable characters like Noah and Purv, who in my opinion stole the show, however it was quite heartbreaking and I have to admit to being very tearful at the ending.
The author has created a fantastic story here, being British and writing an American book is a brilliant achievement, getting the dialogue and narrative perfect for the setting. Though at times I did find the southern accent quite thick to comfortably read I still thought this was a highly entertaining book that i'd happily recommend and can't wait for a third book to be written!!
5 well deserved stars.
