Girl Forgotten is a YA mystery that involves Piper as she tries to solve a seventeen year cold case murder. She is living with her father and stop family in a new town. As a part of her senior project, she starts up a podcast to investigate a cold case.
This ended up being a really enjoyable YA mystery. This one worked very well as an audiobook, because the podcast portions of the book were performed as if they were an actual podcast. It really added to my enjoyment of the book. About halfway through the book, I had an idea of who the killer was and I ended up being correct. But that didn't lessen my enjoyment of the overall story. I enjoyed the characters as well as the pacing of the story overall. I highly recommend this one.
