Desperate Girls

By: Laura Griffin

Narrated by: Madeleine Maby

From New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin, a tightly wound, fast-paced romantic thriller that follows a desperate woman on the run as she hides from a killer’s symbolic revenge spree.

Defense attorney Brynn Holloran is right at home among cops, criminals, and tough-as-nails prosecutors. With her sharp wit and pointed words, she has a tendency to intimidate, and she likes it that way. She’s a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom, but in her personal life, she’s a mess.

When a vicious murderer she once helped prosecute resurfaces and starts a killing spree to wipe out those who put him behind bars, one thing becomes clear: Brynn needs to run for her life.

When the police come up empty-handed, Brynn turns to a private security firm for protection. But when she defies advice and gets involved in the investigation, even the former Secret Service agent assigned to protect her may not be able to keep her safe. With every new clue she discovers, Brynn is pulled back into the vortex of a disturbing case from her past.

As the clock ticks down on a manhunt, Brynn’s desperate search for the truth unearths long-buried secrets and reignites a killer’s fury.

Solid mystery!

So many characters to follow but such a riveting story! I would definitely recommend to mystery lovers

Desperate Girls

Good story, kept me engaged during long drives! Narration was good not strange like some of the other books 👍

Narrator was awful!

I don't normally write reviews, but I just finished listening to Desperate Girls and it was painful! The story was pretty good and typical Laura Griffin, but I almost didn't finish it because the narrator was so bad. This is one book to read not listen to.

Great writing

A well written story with surprising outcomes. I also love the character development
I am really liking this author

Good suspense

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in Ms. Griffin's new Wolfe Security series. Complex characters, both male and female who are career driven and focused. Needless to say they butt heads a lot but learn to respect one another.

Desperate Girls is a romantic suspense that unfolds at a steady pace. As the story develops the suspense builds, but it never creates what I call an “on the edge of my seat” type of anxiety. Instead, it is more the niggling uncertainty that hangs in the background of a slow-burn thriller with an even slower burn romance. I like it a lot.

The narrator does a good performance. I enjoyed listening to the characters come to life.
