About this listen

A schoolgirl found it on a nature hike. A severed human foot wearing pink nail polish. A gruesome but invaluable clue that leads forensic pathologist Birdy Waterman down a much darker trail - to a dangerous psychopath whose powers of persuasion seem to have no end.

Only by teaming up with sheriff's detective Kendall Stark can Birdy hope to even the odds in a deadly game. It's a fateful decision the killer wants them to make. And it's the only way Birdy and Kendall can find their way to a murderer who's ready to kill again....

Critic reviews

"Readers will clamor for more stories featuring Waterman and Stark." ( RT Book Reviews)

What listeners say about The Girl in the Woods

Highly rated for:

The Audiobook's Story Revolves Around A Murder Mystery With Female Protagonists, Exploring Investigative Procedures And Domestic Crimes. While Praised For Its Engaging Storyline, Intriguing Plot Twists, And Compelling Character Dynamics, Some Listeners Found The Murder Plot Repetitive From Previous Books, With Unbelievable Story Elements And An Unsatisfying Conclusion. The Choice Of A Male Narrator For A Female-led Story Was Also Criticized. However, The Detailed Descriptions Of The Pacific Northwest Setting And The Unexpected Story Resolution Were Appreciated By Some Listeners.

Solid Entertainment

I enjoyed the twists in the story and the resolution and reveal. I just thought the story could have ended with more "thunder" or punch. I did enjoy the story.

A bit to juvenile

Mediocre can't see that it was written for adults maybe teens would enjoy it better . I also think it would be better narrated by a woman as most of the caricatures are women

Mediocre at best

Not a particularly compelling story. Comes together at end very quickly out of nowhere with a very out of place sequence. Author really could have made any one of 4 or 5 characters be the bad guy and it would have worked and I still would have thought “huh, that was not so interesting “

Narrator....meh

Story was fine. The narrators inflections reminded me of a man who might have done radio mysteries back in 1930.
I would listed to how he voiced a line and I would think "come on! The (character) wouldn't have said it like that!

Interesting plot

Good narrator. Always good plot with this author. I enjoy the details in his books of the scenes in the Pacific Northwest. Brings me back to my childhood spent there.
