THE NOWHERE GIRLS
by Dana Perry
April 1 - May 10, 2024 Virtual Book Tour
THE LOST ONES
Book 3 in the Detective Nikki Cassidy series
As dawn breaks over a small gas station on the outskirts of Groveton, Ohio, the body of a teenage girl lies totally still. Long blonde hair covers her face, and a length of frayed rope hangs loosely around her neck. It’s only a matter of time before someone finds her, just like her killer intended…
When FBI agent Nikki Cassidy receives a call from Groveton’s Chief of Police, her heart pounds. A young girl just knocked on the door of Nikki’s old family home, claiming to be Nikki’s kid sister, Caitlin. But Caitlin was murdered fifteen years ago. Who is the girl and what does she want?
Nikki thinks the impersonator could finally lead her to her sister’s twisted killer. But her hope is shattered when the girl’s lifeless body is found strangled at a local service stop. If the girl knew about Caitlin, could she have known the identity of the killer? Was she murdered before she could unmask them?
Going against her boss’s orders to stay away, Nikki traces the girl’s last known steps to her best friend, Shirley. Nikki learns that the girl was last seen meeting with a stranger at the mall. Could it have been her killer?
Closer than ever to uncovering the truth, Nikki can’t give up now. But when Shirley’s body is found at another service station, a length of rope wound around her neck, her heart shatters. Another young life has been lost. Nikki vows that this will be the last.
When an intruder breaks into her old home, Nikki knows it’s the killer sending her a sign. As she walks into the familiar old house in the dead of night, will she finally get justice and catch her sister’s killer, or did she just walk into a deadly trap?

My thoughts:
The Lost Ones is the third book in the Detective Nikki Cassidy series. This one takes up a little bit after the events of the second book. Once again, Nikki is called back to her hometown when a girl shows up claiming to be her long dead sister. Of course that is not possible. Now a killer seems to be targeting her. Once again, I would not read this as a stand alone, unless you want spoilers.
I can't remember if I said this in my review of the first book, The Nowhere Girls, but I read all three books in under 10 hours. That is how much this series has captivated me. This was a great follow up to the first two books. What I love about this series is that I am constantly surprised and have a hard time figuring out the solution. I also still really love Nikki and want more of her. The book ends with a huge surprise, so I hope there is a fourth book in the works.
