The Buried Girl: A Novel of Suspense Paperback – April 2, 2019

As always, Richard Montanari delivers! I'm a huge fan of this author and his latest novel The Buried Girl did not disappoint. There were twists and turns I didn't see coming which I find exciting and intriguing. I cannot recommend this book enough! I couldn't put it down and was disappointed when I finished it.

It took a while getting into this book as I was used to reading his series books that I love. But once I was into the book I really liked it. I have read lots of his books and I have enjoyed all of them!

That’s the question I could not find an answer. Maybe I am a bad read but there are few unanswered questions.

I have been a huge fan if Richard Montanari for a long time! This is the novel I’ve read of his that was not a Kevin Byrnes series. I wasn’t sure what to expect but, as always, I was not disappointed. It was an exceptional book.

Ghe Balzano and Byrne series is just awesome....even after all this time they hold up really well.

My favorite kind of book is those that make me discover new authors. Like this one, The Buried Girl by Richard Montanari took me by surprise. I partly read and partly listened to the audio version and I had a blast. When I read did I forget to check how many percents I had read (The good and bad thing about ebooks). When I listened to the book did the job go so much better since I was so caught up in this story that I breezed through my job.This is the kind of crime novel I love to read. I'm a big fan of cold cases and trust me these cases go back in time, a long way. And, they don't stop. Now it seems like Will and his daughter Detta, who has left NY for a brighter future, have gone from a bad situation to a worse one. The loss of Will's wife and Detta's mother weights heavily on their shoulders. A new start seems like a great idea. And Abbeville seems to be such a lovely place. Meanwhile, Ivy, third generation Ivy, is linking a new murder to old ones. For a long time has girls gone missing, and she is starting to see a pattern...I loved Will, Detta, and Ivy so much that I hope that this is not a stand-alone. And, when you think about how it all ended does it feel like at least one more book could be written about Abbeville. The Buried Girl was so good that I went straight from this book to listening to The Echo Man by the author. Now I want to read everything he has written!

Will Hardy, a forensic psychologist, and his teenage daughter Detta, have endured a horrific tragedy when Will's wife and Detta's mom dies in a fire in their apartment. Shortly after, Will learns he has inherited an old, closed up mansion in Abbeville, Ohio. This windfall allows Will and Detta to leave their longtime home in NYC and attempt to start over in a new setting. As Will and Detta are preparing to move, a young girl is found murdered in a field near Abbeville. Chief of Police Ivy Holgrave is investigating the murder and has more than a feeling that this murder is part of a larger pattern. After his move to the area, Will and Ivy meet and begin to work together on this local mystery.The Buried Girl is a well written, completely engrossing novel which will satisfy any reader looking for a good, scary detective/mystery. What a treat it would be if this were the beginning of a series featuring Will Hardy and Ivy Holgrave.Thank you to Netgalley, the author Richard Montanari, and the publisher Little, Brown Book Group UK for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Loved his earlier novels. The last few have been boring and forced.
