But after a huge altercation on the last night of the holiday, Kate Channing knew nothing would ever be the same. There are some things you can't forgive. And there are some people you can't forget...like Severine, who was never seen again.

A decade later, the case is reopened when Severine's body is found behind the farmhouse. Questioned along with her friends, Kate stands to lose everything she's worked so hard to achieve as suspicion mounts all around her. Desperate to resolve her unreliable memories and fearful she will be forever bound to the memory of the woman who still haunts her, Kate finds herself entangled within layers of deception with no one to set her free....

“The French Girl commands attention. The author provides the perfect dose of character development before unveiling eerie details from her cast's past, ensuring that we're properly unnerved when their lives begin to unravel.” (Associated Press)

“The shifting dynamics within the group will keep the reader guessing until the end. First novelist Elliott has done a phenomenal job of combining a whodunit with a Big Chill vibe.” (Library Journal, starred review)

The French Girl is a fantastic debut about tangled relationships, shifting perceptions, and the memories - and people - that haunt us.

Maybe it wasn’t any of them.. but you won’t know until the end.. almost believable tale

Fantastic read The French Girl

This book was incredible. Beautifully written and beautifully told by Katherine McEwan. I loved the characters and how the story unfolds!!! So good!!

Great book, with a great ending.

I almost didn't buy this book because of the reviews saying the ending was horrible. The ending is great, no mystery to ponder after you finish the book. Great narrator and compelling plot.

I loved this book!

Don’t pay attention to the negative reviews. This is a wonderful, interesting, exciting and believable thriller.

Really good!

Kept me listening late into the night, and didn’t want it to end. Loved it.

Couldn’t stop listening!!!

This book was so good! Loved the narration also. I highly recommend if you enjoy a good “who did it” story.

Slow but worth the time

This book moved a bit too slow for my enjoyment, but overall had some interesting twists. Always fun to hear a foreign turn of a phrase, though some of the English characters sounded very Irish to me.
