“A masterful, heart-pounding suspense that ushers in an astonishing new voice in crime fiction." (Samantha M. Bailey, internationally best-selling author of Woman on the Edge)

Elle Castillo once trained as a social worker, supporting young victims of violent crime. Now, she hosts a popular true crime podcast that focuses on cold cases of missing and abducted children.

After four seasons of successfully solving these cases in Minnesota’s Twin Cities, Elle decides to tackle her white whale: The Countdown Killer. Twenty years ago, TCK was terrorizing the community, kidnapping and ritualistically murdering three girls over seven days, each a year younger than the last. Then, after he took his eleven-year-old victim, the pattern—and the murders—abruptly stopped. No one has ever known why.

When Elle follows up on a listener tip only to discover the man’s dead body, she feels at fault. Then, within days, a child is abducted—a young girl who seems to fit suspiciously into the TCK sequence halted decades before. While media and law enforcement long ago concluded that TCK had suicided, Elle has never believed TCK was dead. She had hoped her investigation would lay that suspicion to rest, but her podcast seems instead to be inciting new victims.

“A tale of obsession, dark histories, and one woman’s quest to bring a terrifying killer to justice, GIRL, 11 is delivered with poise, style, and cunning—making it impossible to put down.” (Alex Segura, acclaimed author of Miami Midnight and Blackout)

The big reveal!!!!

This is a great book and a fun read!!! Highly recommend!!!! Interesting concept with the pod cast and everything going on.

Podcast within a book

I loved this book! It did a great job of keeping the suspense high, and the characters engaging. The cast did a great job with the material. I can't wait to see what the author writes next.

Obsessed

This book was fantastic. I could not stop. The format was flawless how it switched between podcast and real life. Highly recommend.

Girl, 11

I like listening to, reading, and watching a good murder mystery. I also enjoy murder mystery podcasts. This Audible book combined a murder mystery story with a podcast. I liked that a podcast was a huge part of the story. I recommend Girl, 11.

Amazing debut novel.

Gripping without resorting to glamorizing the cruelty and the evil. Suiter Clarke kept me completely enthralled with the story without leaving me feeling dirty for having read it. If this is her first novel I can’t wait to read what’s coming.

I’m usually not a big fan of multiple narrators and sound effects. However I never felt distracted by them in this presentation.

Fantastic

this was a wonderful detective novel. It kept me going at every turn. It was well worth the credit that I spent.

What a suspense!!

I had a lot of suspicions throughout the book. Over all a good read! Some heart felt moments & loved the ending!!

Gripping story to the end!

This story had me at the edge of my seat from chapter 1! I love how it would switch from hearing her podcast to her investigation. The story was well done and all the characters were fleshed out.
If you love true crime podcasts, this is the book for you!
