The audio production of this update of Tess Gerritsen's 1994 novel, PEGGY SUE GOT MURDERED, offers listeners unique extras read by the author: an introduction to open the book and an interview at its conclusion. Narrator Susan Ericksen's deep, strong voice effectively portrays the brusque, somewhat aggressive, personality of main character Kat Novak, medical examiner, but Ericksen conveys Novak's softer, more emotional side convincingly as well. The accents she employs for some of the secondary characters can be difficult to identify, but they do serve to distinguish the speakers. Gerritsen herself refers to this book as her "bridge" novel with which she transitioned from romantic mysteries to murder thrillers, and it is in that light that listeners will find GIRL MISSING most enjoyable.

The first body is a mystery.
She's young. She's beautiful. And her corpse, laid out in the office of Boston medical examiner Kat Novak, betrays no secrets-except for a matchbook clutched in one stiff hand, seven numbers scrawled inside.
The next body is a warning.
When a second victim is discovered, Kat begins to fear that a serial killer is stalking the streets. The police are sceptical. The mayor won't listen. And Kat's chief suspect is one of the town's most prominent citizens.
The final body...might be hers.
With the death toll rising, Kat races to expose a deadly predator who is closer than she ever dreamt. And every move she makes could be her very last.
