FBI Agent Nell Flynn hasn't been home in ten years. Nell and her father, Homicide Detective Martin Flynn, have never had much of a relationship. And Suffolk County will always be awash in memories of her mother, Marisol, who was brutally murdered when Nell was just seven.
When Martin Flynn dies in a motorcycle accident, Nell returns to the house she grew up in so that she can spread her father's ashes and close his estate. At the behest of her father's partner, Detective Lee Davis, Nell becomes involved in an investigation into the murders of two young women in Suffolk County. The further Nell digs, the more likely it seems to her that her father should be the prime suspect--and that his friends on the police force are covering his tracks. Plagued by doubts about her mother's murder--and her own role in exonerating her father in that case--Nell can't help but ask questions about who killed Ria Ruiz and Adriana Marques and why. But she may not like the answers she finds--not just about those she loves, but about herself.
Girls Like Us was an enjoyable mystery. It features FBI Agent Nell Flynn who is shot during a big take down when her father dies in a motorcycle accident. She goes back home to heal and bury her father. When a couple of girls are murdered, Nell begins to question whether or not her father was involved.
This was a solid mystery. I was kept guessing about the truth behind what was really going on in the small town. There are a lot of twists that made me want to read through to the end. I really liked Nell as a character. I liked that even though she might not get the answers she wanted regarding her father, she was still willing to do the right thing. I am pretty sure this is a stand alone, but Nell is a character I would love to read more about in another story. I definitely recommend this one.
