Over a million copies sold.
"A twisty, roller coaster ride of a debut. Fans of Gone Girl will embrace this equally evocative tale." --Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"I've been following her for the past few days. I know where she buys her groceries, where she has her dry cleaning done, where she works. I don't know the color of her eyes or what they look like when she's scared. But I will."
One night, Mia Dennett enters a bar to meet her on-again, off-again boyfriend. But when he doesn't show, she unwisely leaves with an enigmatic stranger. At first Colin Thatcher seems like a safe one-night stand. But following Colin home will turn out to be the worst mistake of Mia's life.
When Colin decides to hide Mia in a secluded cabin in rural Minnesota instead of delivering her to his employers, Mia's mother, Eve, and detective Gabe Hoffman will stop at nothing to find them. But no one could have predicted the emotional entanglements that eventually cause this family's world to shatter.
An addictively suspenseful and tautly written thriller, The Good Girl is a propulsive debut that reveals how even in the perfect family, nothing is as it seems.
Don't miss Mary Kubica's chilling upcoming novel, She's Not Sorry, where an ICU nurse accidentally uncovers a patient's frightening past...
And look for the new editions of Pretty Baby, Don't You Cry, The Other Mrs. and Every Last Lie featuring brand new covers!

This book left me wanting more. The moment you think you have it all figured out, it gets turned upside down. A must read.
I enjoyed the alternating points of view between 3 of 4 main characters. Parts of it were predictable, but it was still a fun read/listen since I did the audiobook to get there.”
The inevitable love story between kidnapper and kidnapped seems slightly glossed over and like it could be have been touched more on during the kidnapper’s POV chapters. I would have liked to see more about when things changed between the two of them.
I enjoyed The Good Girl, even though it started off a little slow. It kept me interested with its twists and the way the story unfolded. It’s definitely a love story, but not your typical one — and I liked that. The characters and their emotional layers made it compelling. I wasn’t a fan of the ending, but overall, it was a good read and worth sticking with.
