Far Gone (Badlands Thriller Book 2) Kindle Edition

From the USA Today bestselling author of White Out comes a story of two heroines with shattered pasts and a town with blood on its hands.

When a North Dakota couple is shot down in their home in cold blood, the sleepy town of Hagen wakes with a jolt. After all, it’s usually such a peaceful place. But Detective Kylie Milliard knows better.

Despite not handling a homicide investigation in years, Kylie is on the case. A drop of blood found at the scene at first blush promises to be her best evidence. But it ultimately only proves that someone else witnessed the murder—and the results are shocking: the DNA reveals a familial match to a crime involving local nurse Lily Baker from over a decade ago. This unveiling stirs new nightmares for Lily as she’s forced to reckon with the most traumatic time in her life.

Haunted by their pasts and hunting the killer, Kylie and Lily uncover hellish secrets and impossible truths, finding answers that put both their lives in jeopardy.

Another Great Thriller in the town of Hagen!

Another Great Thriller in the town of Hagen!
Danielle Girard skillfully introduces new characters in the town of Hagen while giving deeper insight about the ones we already know from "White Out". The web of Lily Baker's memories creep back into her consciousness turning her life inside out, while Kylie puzzles out a double homicide, and in the process unwittingly helps Lily put her shattered past together. I won't say more. Start with "Far Gone". 'White Out' will not dissappoint! I hope "Up Close" is as great. It has a lot to live up to before I say good-bye to the town of Hagen!

One of a very few books I would love to see a series about. Hannah, Lily, Kylie great, strong women and as children they had more reasons to quit than most. The good Dr. Father, and Iver, love good men. Thank you Daniellle, worth a second read as I was turning pages so fast and not absorbing all

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book with a series of horrific events that may be triggers for some people
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2023
Verified Purchase
Why the triggers? Lily was kept as a prisoner of a horrible man for over a year when she was 14. Her memory of that time period is practically nonexistent.

At the very beginning of the story Hannah’s babysitting job turns into a horror show and she can’t tell anyone because she believes she knows the killer.

4.0 out of 5 stars I longed... for a thesaurus.
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2022
Verified Purchase
*Contains one spoiler further down.

Firstly, and most importantly, I genuinely adore this author & her characters are always well rounded & interesting.

Having said that, why all the "longing?" I seriously was so annoyed I began marking the words appearance in the last few chapters & had five noted in a few dozen pages. It drove me crazy! I know it's a silly thing but things like this in otherwise solid writing stop your brain from absorbing the story moving forward, sort of like a major typo.

(SPOILER) Also, these were great characters; with that being the case did we really need the added Maury Povich maternity case at the end? The plot was progressing nicely without the "my brother is my father" (seriously?) twist. Also, Hannah's withdrawals on that amount of drugs would have become literally debilitating and likely would have required more than a good hug from dad.

I like these characters & the potential for future stories is absolutely there but I'm longing for some new adjectives.

ノースダコタの街。ERドクターの父とNPO主催の母、そしてずっと年上の兄に可愛がられている１４歳のハンナ・ヴィサーはアルバイトで赤ちゃんのベビーシッターとして幸せに暮らすガーザ夫妻の家を訪れた。ベビーベッドで寝ている赤ちゃんを置いて夫妻が出かけようとしたときピンポーンと鳴って奥さんがドアを開けた途端　バン！と音がして奥さんが血だらけで倒れ、ハンナは驚いてクローゼットに隠れたら次に旦那さんが撃たれてしまい、犯人が赤ちゃんに「君にはなにもしないよ、おやすみ」と話しかけて去った。声に覚えがあり、腕には父と同じ軍隊時代の入れ墨が見えたが、誰だか思い出せないままハンナは赤ちゃんを抱いて逃げ出し、夫妻のクルマを運転してERに駆け込んだ。当直を終えて外に出た看護師リリー・ベイカーに赤ちゃんを託してそのまま朧げに記憶している両親と過ごした遠くのコテージ目掛けて車を走らせた。現場検証をした女性刑事カイリー・ミリアードは血液のDNA鑑定をしてもらったところ夫妻の他に一人、そこにいた筈のない看護師リリーの血縁関係者の存在が浮かび上がって頭を抱える。ハンナは犯人の声が誰だか思い出せないままコテージに辿り着くがそこには犯人が待っており森の中を逃げ回る。いったい犯人は誰か？　動機は何か？　隠れた筈のハンナを犯人はなぜ知ったのか？　そして第三の血液の主は誰か？　途中からバラバラの話が絞り込まれてきて面白くなる。
