Summary
Little Girl Gone by Amanda Stephens was a thriller. This was my first book by this author. The story was a little dark with the main theme the abduction of a four year old little girl 28 years after the abduction of another little girl.
Thea lost her twin when they were four years old and they never found out what happened to her. This part of the story was very sad for Thea and her mother Regina. It is sad how the community treated them.
The current little girl also went missing from Reginas house. The FBI and police are trying to decide if it is the same criminal kidnapped both kids.
Thea’s old boy friend is with the FBI and is working on the case. They also have to deal with their own issues.
I enjoyed the mystery but was disappointed that the author didn’t close up the lose ends. Not sure if they will happen in future books? There was a lot left settled.
Sexual content - 1 physical scene with no details.
