About this ebook

The edge-of-your-seat fifth book in the Annie Graham crime thriller series

Don’t go into the woods. Because you’re in for a big surprise...

Annie Ashworth is currently off duty. With her baby bump growing fast, she is under strict instructions to stay away from police work and look after herself, especially as she has a history of leading danger right to her door. So when her police officer husband, Will, is called to the discovery of a skeleton buried out in the local woods, Annie tries to keep out of the investigation. But as another body is discovered and her own niece suddenly goes missing, staying away just isn’t an option.

As Annie is soon to discover, a picture really does tell a thousand stories. But which one leads to a killer?

The Girls in the Woods by Helen Phifer is the fifth book in The Annie Graham series. The novel starts out in 1895 with Mr. Tyson photographing three sisters except one of them just passed away. Mr. Tyson specializes in memento mori photographs (of dead people). It is a lucrative business and Mr. Tyson keeps an album of all his photos. Speed ahead to 1995 in Barrow, England. Annie Graham Ashworth is six months pregnant. Annie is to stay away from police work and just relax (like that is going to happen). Will Ashworth (her husband) is called out to a crime scene in the woods. A group of students discovered a skeleton in the woods. A young teenager was killed and buried. Then Annie’s niece, Matilda “Tilly” Graham goes missing. Tilly would never disappear completely. Then Annie starts getting visited by a ghost of a deceased teenager. Is there a connection between the body in the woods, the ghost, and Tilly’s disappearance? Annie cannot help but look into the matter. Will she be able to find her niece in time and at what cost? I thoroughly enjoyed The Girls in the Woods. It had some great elements (mystery, suspense, paranormal) and a wonderful twist at the end (I like it when something unexpected happens). I have not read the other books in The Annie Graham series, but it did not hinder my enjoyment. I think it would, though, be beneficial to read the other books in the series (I know I want to read them). The Girls in the Woods is a complex story with a great deal of action. It is a definite page turner! I give The Girls in the Woods 5 out of 5 stars. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I received a complimentary copy of The Girls in the Woods from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
