The Other Girl was an excellent psychological thriller, with a fast pace and a lot of action.
Story:
The Other Girl was a scary trip back into the past, but also in the present. Miranda was somehow involved, but not by choice. At the crime scene of a murder, her finger prints were found on a bottle... and there was information about a long ago case, where she had escaped, but had to leave the other girl behind.
The suspense was really well done, and with each new revelation, I found it more difficult to trust anyone at all - even Miranda.
Characters:
Miranda is a detective, and has worked very hard to not be 'the girl who lied'. In order to be a respected member of society, she has been flawless since she started working at the force.
Jake is Miranda's partner. Until she is put on leave. And there is definitely some chemistry between them.
Police chief, rich parents of the murder victim, and Summer, Miranda's best friend.
Writing style :
Third person past tense, with an omniscient narrator, who kept a lot of secrets to themselves. Plenty of dialogues to keep the pace up.
Feels :
Dread! Hope, and so much suspense my heart tried to beat its way out of my chest!
That Miranda understood. But this bizarro kink-kill? No way. She stopped beside the bed. So, what had precipitated this perp's breaking point? Now, that was a question she could focus on.
She hadn't belonged anywhere. She still didn't.
