Girl on the Run is another winner by Carolyn Arnold. An edge of your seat guessing game from beginning to end!

Girl on the Run by Carolyn Arnold {Book Review}

College student Courtney Middleton disappeared fifteen years ago. Everyone presumed she was dead…

Detective Madison Knight shows up at the local train station in the aftermath of a fatal shooting, and finds two women killed on scene. One was expecting her first child. The other was a wife and mother of two children and has Madison seeing a ghost from her past. She’s convinced the woman is her missing college friend, but why would she change her identity? And where has she been all this time?

There’s no lead on the gunman, but eyewitnesses tell of a mysterious young woman who may have triggered him. There’s no sign of her either—or another man who is said to watch over her all the time.

As the investigation continues, a drug-trafficking ring is exposed with connections to the Russian Mafia. The girl is one of their runners, and the man shadowing her is one of their handlers. When he’s found murdered in his apartment, shot with bullets of the same caliber used in the train station shooting, Madison knows the Russians will retaliate. She also realizes the women weren’t killed in some random incident.

As Madison works to figure out that piece of the puzzle, she’ll need to stay one step ahead of the mob to beat them to the elusive gunman and the girl. But when saving them puts her life and that of a loved one in danger, Madison finds out too late that the cost for justice comes at too high a price.

Girl on the Run was definitely an emotional thriller that kept me guessing until the very end.

What starts as a double murder with one survivor, turns into so much more that one can even begin to wrap their head around.

The double murder; a 15 year old missing person case; a potential drug trafficking ring; the Russian Mafia… lest we not forget Madison’s own personal life that has it’s own emotional rollercoaster ride.

With so much going on, trying to figure it all out had me on the edge of my seat guessing until the very end – something I love in a good mystery!

There was a lot of who, what, and why, with some twists and turns I never saw coming. We had plenty of suspects, different theories flying around, and an amazing read.

Whether you are new to the series or not; these can be read as stand alone books and are ones you do not want to miss out on!
