Description from the publisher:
When teenage best friends, Callie and Avery are kidnapped from a tent in their front yard in a sleepy Midwestern town, the entire population of Newell is rocked to its core.  When one of the girls returns 24 hours later, her body covered in injuries and zero recollection of what happened, the search is on for the girl who didn’t get away.  

Callie is still missing, her whereabouts unknown.  As Avery attempts to piece together an impossible puzzle, she stumbles upon the terrifying realization that her best friend was harboring a dark secret, and she may have paid the ultimate price for it.

THE GIRL THAT GOT AWAY is a stand-alone, psychological thriller.

I enjoyed the suspense of this story and the way that each chapter ended in a mini-cliffhanger before switching to the other point of view.  I liked the clever twist that was Henry/Alex.  I sat in that car listening to the last two chapters instead of going into work.  The final twist had me literally applauding.

I wondered why it needed to be set twenty years ago (1997).  There is one reference to a pager, but that could easily be changed to a text message.  This could happen anywhere and at any time.

This is the first book I have read from Marin Montgomery.  In my opinion, she did an excellent job of providing suspense, puzzle, fear, and description.

Narration:  I really enjoyed the dual narration style of Grace Paunescu & D. Michael Hope.  They both did an excellent job.

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via Audiobook Boom, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
