'I think you might be my father . . .'
When first-year student Zoë Barry walks into Professor David Connolly's office and tentatively says these words, he is left reeling. But it is the lives of his family - particularly his wife Caroline - which are turned upside down by the arrival of this stranger.
A daughter, a sister, a friend . . . an enemy?
Though no one knows quite who Zoë is, she is soon entangled in their lives. Yet her stories don't ring true and Caroline is determined to learn if the girl is the unlucky innocent she claims to be or someone with a far darker agenda.
A deadly cuckoo in the nest . . . Because by letting Zoë in, David and Caroline aren't just leaving themselves vulnerable. They're risking the most precious thing in the world - the lives of their children . . .

My
Thoughts…
As I read Girl Unknown I knew there was more to the
story. There had to be a catch with
Zoe. I had so many guesses and loves
trying to follow the clues. Karen
Perry threw so many twists and turns into the book that I knew the truth was
buried in there somewhere.
My struggle was David and Caroline. Their marriage was troubled before Zoe
entered the picture and when she came into their life it became even more
troubled. I didn’t like that David
didn’t even consider Caroline’s concerns about Zoe. He didn’t put any thought into them, didn’t
try to understand where Caroline was coming from, and just brushed her
off. I got it, Zoe is his daughter he
wants to love and trust her yet the signs were all there that she was
trouble.
The ending was the wonderful. When I got to the last few chapters I could
not stop reading. The pace picked up,
the secrets were shared, people were held accountable for their actions, and
the final twist…never saw it coming.
Thank you Marian Brown at Henry Holt and Company for a copy
of the book in exchange for an honest review.
