A missing girl on a journey of revenge. A Serial-like podcast following the clues she's left behind. And an ending you won't be able to stop talking about.
"Today, WNRK is launching the first episode of our new serialized podcast, The Girls, created and hosted by West McCray."
When popular radio personality West McCray receives a desperate phone call from a stranger imploring him to find nineteen-year-old runaway Sadie Hunter, he's not convinced there's a story there; girls go missing all the time. But when it's revealed that Sadie fled home after the brutal murder of her little sister, Mattie, West travels to the small town of Cold Creek, Colorado, to uncover what happened.
Sadie has no idea that her journey to avenge her sister will soon become the subject of a blockbuster podcast. Armed with a switchblade, Sadie follows meager clues hoping they'll lead to the man who took Mattie's life, because she's determined to make him pay with his own. But as West traces her path to the darkest, most dangerous corners of big cities and small towns, a deeply unsettling mystery begins to unfold-one that's bigger than them both. Can he find Sadie before it's too late?
Alternating between Sadie's unflinching voice as she hunts the killer and the podcast transcripts tracking the clues she's left behind, Sadie is a breathless thriller about the lengths we go to protect the ones we love and the high price we pay when we can't. It will haunt you long after you reach the final page.

Ina Fabian a dat nota:
This book is a little different than what I usually read. I never expected to read such a painful story. At first, I thought it was a mystery/thriller book, but it was much more than that. Sadie is a character that will stick me long. She is the proof of what one is able to do for his family. She sacrificed her life for her sister, that much she loved her. Half of the story was told as a podcast and I really liked this unique part of the story. All the characters had flaws that were described in detail by the author. It made the book so... real. This book was missing the professional, detective part of the story which I usually enjoy so much. Instead, it went along with feelings and the eager of the family for justice, to give voice to the story for the world. But overall, it was a really good book!
Descriere
"Summers has pulled no punches when it comes to diving into the darker side of teen lives." --Bustle
A gripping novel about the depth of a sister's love; poised to be the next book you won't be able to stop talking about.
A missing girl on a journey of revenge and a Serial--like podcast following the clues she's left behind.
Sadie hasn't had an easy life. Growing up on her own, she's been raising her sister Mattie in an isolated small town, trying her best to provide a normal life and keep their heads above water.
But when Mattie is found dead, Sadie's entire world crumbles. After a somewhat botched police investigation, Sadie is determined to bring her sister's killer to justice and hits the road following a few meager clues to find him.
When West McCray--a radio personality working on a segment about small, forgotten towns in America--overhears Sadie's story at a local gas station, he becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl. He starts his own podcast as he tracks Sadie's journey, trying to figure out what happened, hoping to find her before it's too late.
Courtney Summers has written the breakout book of her career. Sadie is propulsive and harrowing and will keep you riveted until the last page.
