When she was six years old, Arden Maynor went missing after going sleepwalking in the middle of the night. Three days later she was found clinging onto a storm drain in a sewer and the story attracted a huge amount of media attention. Years later, with the media still constantly pursuing her, Arden moves to a new town and changes her name to Olivia Meyer, hoping to escape her past.
Olivia is content with her new life until one night she stumbles across the dead body of a man on her property and it is discovered that the body was that of the man who found her alive twenty years ago.
The Girl From Widow Hills was a slow burner for me, but as I read more and more, I found myself hooked and really invested in the story. It had all of the elements I love in a good thriller, and I enjoyed the fact that I got to play detective as there were lots of characters involved, and it wasn't clear who was telling the truth, who you could trust or whether some of the things happening to Olivia were real or in her head.
The tension built up nicely throughout the story, so if you are unsure at the start, it is definitely worth sticking with it. An interesting idea and an ending that I didn't see coming.
