This book started off a little slow, but the pace of it picked up after all of the characters and their stories were introduced. I did not read the first book, but this is the second book in a series about detective Carrie Flynn. After reading this one, I believe I will go back and read the first one to see what I missed.

The main part of this story - the island part is all I can say without giving away spoilers - was where the story finally got interesting and made me want to keep reading. The story of Carrie's missing little sister and the story of recently missing girl, Melanie, come together and end up being related. The way the story builds was what kept it interesting, but I must say I guessed the "bad guy" pretty early on. That was a little disappointing because I usually don't guess the ending, but it still kept me wanting to finish the story to see how the author wrapped it up.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read mysteries. I wouldn't classify it as a thriller, but instead a good mystery to read on a gray, rainy day to give it more atmosphere.

This is the second book in a series and in my opinion is better than the first.
I enjoyed the plot and the pace moved quickly. The characters were well developed.

I really enjoyed this book. The title worked on so many levels and there were a lot of twists and turns that I didn't see coming. Characters were well drawn and believable. I will be looking out for more by this author.

A difficult subject to tackle, but JM Hewitt does it so well A very complex plot with plenty of twists and turns.. A little slow in places, but well worth persevering till the end. Recommended.

The Quiet Girls by J.M. Hewitt is a book that you won't want to put down. The second in the series about detective Carrie Flynn, The Quiet Girls starts with a bang and is just as good as the first book The Night Caller.

Carrie's sister disappeared over twenty years ago, she has always searched for the man who hurt her sister. A new case involving a pedophile and young girls hits too close to home for Carrie. 12-year-old Melanie sneaks into a seemingly empty house on a dare from her cool friends. While in the house, Melanie's friend was assaulted by a man. Thankfully, the girls made it out with little damage, but when Melanie and her family disappear from town, Carrie is on the case to find them.

Where are Melanie and her family? The mother is a successful lawyer, the dad is a stay at home dad who loves his daughter. Where are these people? When another entire family is reported missing, the cops are even more curious. Three teenagers missing from the same school? What is happening in this town?

The Quiet Girls is very will written and will certainly keep a reader on the edge of their seat. The writer does a remarkable job of making Carrie a lifelike character and tying her stories together to bring her closer to the truth of what happened to her little sister all of those years ago. I highly recommend this book!

This was the first book I've read from this author and it was just okay. It was hard for me to get into and the characters didn't keep my attention.

This book was hard to put down once I had started it, a really good insight Into how a tragedy affects everyone involved in different ways I like how the story unwinds as you go through the book would love to read other things by this author

Fantastic read. Fast paced, thrilling and full of plot twists. You will be hooked from the first page. A Detectives past haunts her, a husband of a family uproots the family. What happens next will have you breathless for more.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley.

The Quiet Girls is the second book in the series featuring Detective Carrie Flynn. While I haven't read the first book, I didn't feel like I was missing anything exremely important while reading this book.

This book is definitely a page -turner... I was on the edge of my seat for so much of the book. The suspense was everything I needed.

Solid great read.

This is the second book in the series featuring Detective Carrie Flynn. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book and was looking forward to the next one in the series and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The book opens with three young girls breaking into a house and escaping from the hands of a masked paedophile. Melanie was one of the girls and her family are worried and decide to move to a deserted nearby island. Melanie’s father persuades another family with twins to move with them and escape the rat race and live in a safer environment. Carrie is informed of the disappearance of these three teenagers and so it is a race against time to track them down and make sure they are safe. This case brings back memories for Carrie as twenty years previous her sister was abducted and that was the reason Carrie joined the police force. Carrie and her partner Paul make a great team and I look forward to the next book in the series. A gripping read from start to finish. A highly recommended book.
Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

The disappearance of a young girl brings the police into the child's home life, looking for clues. The circumstances are similar to the disappearance of a young girl twenty years prior. As the story develops, more clues will lead to discoveries that are more than coincidence. A good read with a unique story line and well developed characters.

Detective Carrie Flynn gets called on a case about a missing 11 year old called Melanie Wilson . It also takes her back to when her little sister Hallie went missing but Carrie has blocked out the face of the man who took her so nobody was arrested . Carrie decided that she would become a detective .
While looking over footage she sees Melanie , her family and another family boarding a boat to take them over to the deserted island of Pomona. Melanie’s father has taken them over to the island when Melanie tells them a friend was attacked in a house .
This book has plenty of twists and turns
Thanks NetGalley

I tried to like this book but unfortunately it just didn't pull me in like I expected. This is my favorite genre, but there were too many things that seemed overly convenient and unrealistic for my liking.
