I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Three Girls Gone by Carolyn Arnold is the fourteenth book in the Detective Amanda Steele series. This time, Amanda and her partner Trent are called to investigate the murder of six-year-old Hailey Tanner. However, as the case unfolds, Amanda realizes it closely mirrors a cold case once led by her former boss. As a result, she must race against time to stop another tragedy in this gripping and emotional police procedural, perfect for fans of crime thrillers and strong female detectives. Three Girls Gone is the fourteenth book in the Detective Amanda Steele series, and Carolyn Arnold once again delivers a gripping and emotionally charged police procedural. From the very first chapter, the tension is palpable. It draws the reader into a case that feels both heartbreaking and deeply personal for Amanda. The details of her latest investigation bear an uncanny resemblance to a cold case. A case that was investigated years ago by her former boss, Katherine Graves. In this installment, Amanda tackles one of her most difficult cases yet. Six-year-old Hailey Tanner disappears after leaving her ballet class, and days later, a woman stumbles upon her body in the park, dressed in a tutu. The haunting image lingers, driving Amanda’s determination to bring the little girl’s killer to justice. As the investigation unfolds, Amanda realizes the disturbing similarities between her current case and a cold case from the past are too strong to overlook. Just as she starts to piece the puzzle together, the unthinkable happens—another child goes missing. Amanda and her partner, Trent, find themselves racing against time to stop a killer before he strikes again. I really liked how Arnold balanced the procedural elements with the emotional side of the story. Amanda’s compassion, her resilience, and her drive to bring closure to the victims’ families continue to make her such a relatable and admirable character. The partnership between Amanda and Trent remains one of my favorite aspects of the series. Their mutual respect, teamwork, and growing bond add heart to the story. Arnold’s writing once again shines with vivid descriptions, realistic dialogue, and just the right amount of suspense. The pacing is steady, building momentum as the clues unfold, and the emotional stakes are high from beginning to end. Three Girls Gone may not be the most shocking book in the series, but it’s one that tugs at your heart while keeping you on edge. Overall, this is another strong addition to the Detective Amanda Steele series—gripping, emotional, and thought-provoking. Fans of police procedurals with strong female leads will definitely want to add this one to their reading list.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
