4.5★s

When Molly Anderson, journalist for the local paper in Ridgedale was asked to cover the discovery of a body at the Ridgedale University’s campus grounds, she knew she was their last resort. But she also wanted this to work – she had been ill with a severe case of depression for the past eighteen months after the loss of her baby. Her daughter Ella and husband Justin were the only things keeping her sane. So the opportunity to get back into the work she loved was too good to resist. Erik, her boss had confidence in her – she needed to have confidence in herself. But when Molly joined the police contingent on campus and spoke to the Detective in charge, she was horrified to discover the body was that of a baby…

Sandy, living in the slum area of Ridgedale, and struggling to pay the rent as well as keep her mother Jenna from going off the rails completely, was being tutored by Hannah, daughter of police chief Steve, and Barbara, president of the PTA. When Jenna suddenly disappeared at the same time as Sandy discovered the last few months’ rent hadn’t been paid, she was distraught. But Barbara had problems of her own; approached by her young son, Cole’s teacher, she was shocked to hear what her quiet and sensible son had been up to at school…

As investigations into the death of the baby deepened, Molly discovered terrible secrets about some of the long-time residents of Ridgedale. But not just those particular residents – the tangled web of secrets was drawing closer and closer around the three women who were directly connected; but who didn’t have any idea there was a connection. What would happen to these three women? When the truth finally came out, who would it affect?

Where They Found Her is an excellent psychological thriller filled with taut and terrifying truths, lies and betrayal. Riveting and intensely gripping, this is a powerful story which will draw you in so you’re unable to put it down. I have no hesitation in recommending Where They Found Her very highly.
