Chloe had been locked away in her father’s cottage for 12 years. She believes her father murdered her mother. After escaping to the outside for the first time, Chloe is met with new curiosities and an interest in her neighbor Matt. Her father discovers her escape and makes it harder for her to leave. More and more questions arise until Chloe finds different versions of the truth.

The Guilty Girl, by Ruth Harrow is a captivating thriller. I enjoyed it for the most part, though the repetitiveness in the beginning used to remind us how sheltered Chloe is was a bit much. That being said, I think Chloe could have been written a bit more innocent and sheltered. It felt like she already knew so much about the world.

The ending is a bit fast. I would have liked to see more. I can’t really say what I mean without giving spoilers haha.

Loved the plot twists. I think they are what really made the story for me.

I was enthralled with this book!
A girl and her dad live in hiding for 12 years after he runs off with her following an "accident" with her mother.
The little girl is now a teenager and getting curious. It was fun to watch her sneak out and meet a boy, learning aboutvreal life for the first time! And it was interesting to see how the father shaped their daily lives in order to stay hidden for over a decade.
As twists began to reveal things got intense! Some I guessed, some I didn't, but even the ones I guessed were exciting to read!
The last half of the book kept me on edge and hopeful for this child to get a normal life!
I really enjoyed this book

What is guilt? The title & cover pulled me in and the story kept my interest.
The ties that bind really do define what we believe and what is considered normal. Normal is also what we know, what is familiar, at least until we learn differently. I enjoyed this book & didn't realize it was book 4. It read well as a stand alone.

I read a lot of crime books and thrillers, I have not been so hooked on a plotline for a long time.
 
Suspenseful so much that I found myself frantically swiping for the next page.
 
This plays with your emotions, I was willing Chloe along and found myself furious with the way she was being treated.
 
The plot develops as more information comes to light, there are the inevitable twists and turns and yet the tension remains.
 
The ending, although a little soft, possibly leaves the door open for a sequel…….
 
Brilliant work by Ruth Harrow.

Thank you Net Galley and Incubator Books for a chance to read this book. I was disappointed in it as it was repetitive and depressing. An over obsessed father doing what Mark/Albert did to Chloe/Ruby is harrowing (pardon the pun). I kept waiting for a twist but wasn't one. I don't think the story was thrilling but tension builds from time to time. Good ending but again not what I was expecting.

Pretty entertaining but slow start. I like to see a little more action in my books. Ruth Harrow is a good author hope to see more like this.

Keine schlechte Geschichte, allerdings habe ich mir ein wenig mehr versprochen, ausgehend vom Klappentext.

I started this book, and put it down for a bit. Once I picked it back up, it picked up and kept my interest. It was fast-paced, outside of repetitiveness in the beginning. I went into this one blind, and I truly enjoyed it. The premise of this story was creepy, and I constantly was wondering what was true and what wasn't. The last quarter of the book was WHOA!!! The ending was so satisfying! Once I picked it back up, I was hooked and entranced right up until the end.
