Girl, Forgotten by Karin Slaughter
3.0
dark mysterious medium-paced

 While protecting a judge getting death threats, new US Marshal Andrea Oliver can't resist investigating a cold case connected to her father. In 1982, the judge's daughter Emily was part of a close-knit group of friends, until she is raped and becomes pregnant. Not knowing who the father is, Emily suspects her closest friends but is killed on prom night. Now Andrea is determined to use her powers to find out what happened to Emily

In a sequel to her domestic thriller Pieces of Her (which the publisher conveniently forgot to advertise as a sequel), Andrea Oliver gets her first assignment after graduation. The mystery itself was solid, keeping your interest with chapters reflecting Emily's backstory. However, Andrea's bizarre relationship with her "boyfriend" set my teeth on edge. I feel like there will be a third book coming soon.
