Publisher's summary

"I'm always looking for a good thriller, and this just was perfect."--Nancy Pearl, NPR's Morning Edition

“Opening this book is like arming a bomb--the suspense is relentless and the payoff is spectacular. Lead character Alice Vega is sensational--I want to see lots more of her.”--Lee Child

"Sensational." --Wall Street Journal

"A must-read for fans of strong female protagonists.'--Booklist (starred review)

As addictive, cinematic, and binge-worthy a narrative as The Wire and The Killing, Two Girls Down introduces Louisa Luna as a thriller writer of immense talent and verve.

When two young sisters disappear from a strip mall parking lot in a small Pennsylvania town, their devastated mother hires an enigmatic bounty hunter, Alice Vega, to help find the girls. Immediately shut out by a local police department already stretched thin by budget cuts and the growing OxyContin and meth epidemic, Vega enlists the help of a disgraced former cop, Max Caplan. Cap is a man trying to put the scandal of his past behind him and move on, but Vega needs his help to find the girls, and she will not be denied.

With little to go on, Vega and Cap will go to extraordinary lengths to untangle a dangerous web of lies, false leads, and complex relationships to find the girls before time runs out, and they are gone forever.

Critic reviews

"Sensational...One of the book’s great pleasures is seeing Caplan and Vega’s initially testy entanglement develop into a true partnership. But there are many other aspects in Ms. Luna’s story to savor as well: a host of sharply sketched characters, from spaced-out dopers to distraught parents and grandparents; action sequences startling in their sudden violence; and quick psychological revelations that pierce the heart." --Wall Street Journal

“This one is a beaut, not only suspenseful but with some real embedded truths about how hard it is to be a mother.” --Anna Quindlen, in Parade

"A real nail-biter...The brisk plot combines psychological suspense with solid action, while providing a realistic look at a family under siege, as it builds to a shocking finale."--Publishers Weekly

entertaining read

I enjoyed this book. It was well written, good character development. Worth a read.
Some of the narrator's character voices were kind of annoying, but I could get past that.

The most amazing narrator

A great story. Well written, original and completely engaging. But even more, the narration by Tavia Gilbert is stunning. She is extremely talented, has a unique voice for each character, men and women all distinct and clearly individuals. There were several moments where I had to remind myself that I was listening to one person and not a full cast of players. Just ONE. I hope she narrates other books. I will look for both the author and narrator again.

Wow

I had been in an Audible slump, returning books and recycling credits left and right. But this book, it was an unexpectedly wonderful listen. The story itself is well written but the narrator was awesome. I like it when you can tell whose speaking because the reader has given everyone a different voice. She conveyed emotion, she didn’t sound like an automaton. Take it from a person who will return a book if they are not hooked in the first 5 minutes and who would listen to Davina Porter read the phone book; people are sleeping on this book, it was a nice surprise.
