The Girl in the Ground (Nikki Hunt, #4)

Nikki Hunt is back again for the fourth instalment of the Nikki Hunt Series. When a woman’s bones are found in Rory’s construction site, Nikki is called. Rory knows the woman and questions are being asked. Did Rory do it? Nikki wants to prove his innocence but cannot get involved in the case.

Nikki’s case is a pregnant woman who has gone missing, she and her baby’s life is in danger due to pregnancy complications and it is a race against time to find her and the baby. It isn’t just another missing person case though, and when more pregnant women’s bones are unearthed at another site it seems they could be linked to the bones at Rory’s construction site.
I was wondering how the fourth book would pan out since Frost has been caught now, I was so glad that Stacy Green decided to continue with the series, there is so much more of Nikki Hunt to give.
I was hooked from the first few pages and read this book really quickly, I couldn’t get enough of it.
There were much-loved characters from the previous books and new ones too, which on the FBI side I got to know and like. I hope we see more of those in future books.
The investigation was brilliant; it was very true to life and brings up some important current crimes that people will have heard of.
I do think the Nikki Hunt books need to be made into a TV series, it would make for great viewing.
