The group had been close until a drug fuelled party lead to Emily becoming pregnant without knowing how that had happened. Andrea’s new partner, Catfish Bible, yes, that is his name-- well, Catfish is a nickname, was my favorite part of this book. No, old Laura would give her a half hour head start and then Kool-Aid man back into Andrea’s life whether or not she needs (or wants) her mother there.
It broke my heart to see that the only person Emily could ever turn to was her grandmother, who suffered from dementia. She is not perfect and makes mistakes, but, like Emily, she has the strength of character and courage to follow her convictions.

However, I am assuming that they may be addressed in ‘Pieces of Her’ so I have added that book to my TBR pile and will edit this review once I get around to reading it.In a town where everyone has a secret, will Andrea be able to sift through the lies, the half-truths and the misremembered memories to find out who killed Emily? Emily makes her way to the prom, and we meet several characters along the way who pose a threat to her and the baby. It’s been a while since I read a book set in America, so it was a refreshing change from my British crime novels. I was not the biggest fan of Pieces of Her, it was my least favorite of her books, but I loved where she took Andrea in this book.
We follow both Andrea’s POV as she tries to protect the judge and solve Emily’s murder, and Emily’s as we learn what happened in the months leading up to her death. She has matured and her actions and general behaviour now match her age, making the whole experience a less frustrating one. Girl, Forgotten by Karin Slaughter will be published June 23rd with Harper Collins and is described as ‘an electrifying thriller’. One final chance to uncover a killer… Andrea Oliver arrives in town with a simple assignment: to protect a judge receiving death threats.Her tight-knit group of friends closed ranks; her respected, wealthy family retreated inwards; the small town moved on from her grisly attack. Because even though it’s not her best, a so-so Karin Slaughter novel still stands several heads above the standard thriller sitting next to it on the shelves. This was a difficult time for pregnant teens that were often ostracized in the community, especially for Emily Vaughn, a senior in High School.
Referred to as the ‘clique’ and friends since childhood, this is the group that Emily believes in unconditionally. Case in point, I didn’t even make it through the second episode of the Netflix series because I was instantly reminded of why I didn’t like her.Narrated by Andrea in the present and Emily in the 1980s, I liked them both, though it took some time for me to connect with Andrea. The judge, Esther Vaughan, is currently at her summer home in Longbill Beach in Delaware, the same town where Andrea’s father grew up. Andrea is assigned to protect a federal judge who has received credible death threats, however, this is just a cover, her real mission is to discover the truth of Emily Vaughn’s murder and uncover if it has any ties to her own past. Andrea is partnered with an older Marshall, Leonard ‘Catfish’ Bible, who delights in educating his new green partner.
