The 9th Girl

By: Tami Hoag

Narrated by: David Colacci

"Kovac had seen more dead bodies than he could count: men, women, children; victims of shootings, stabbings, strangulations, beatings; fresh corpses and bodies that had been left for days in the trunks of cars in the dead of summer. But he had never seen anything quite like this...."

On a frigid New Year’s Eve in Minneapolis, a young woman’s brutalized body falls from the trunk of a car into the path of oncoming traffic. Questions as to whether she was alive or dead when she hit the icy pavement result in her macabre nickname, Zombie Doe. Unidentified and unidentifiable, she is the ninth nameless female victim of the year, and homicide detectives Sam Kovac and Nikki Liska are charged with the task of not only finding out who Zombie Doe is but who in her life hated her enough to destroy her. Was it personal? Or could it just have been a crime of opportunity? Their greatest fear is that not only is she their ninth Jane Doe of the year but that she may be the ninth victim of a vicious, transient serial killer they have come to call Doc Holiday. Crisscrossing America’s heartland, Doc Holiday chooses his victims at random, snatching them in one city and leaving them in another, always on a holiday. If Zombie Doe is one of his victims, he has brought his gruesome game to a new and more terrifying level. But as Kovac and Liska begin to uncover the truth, they will find that the monsters in their ninth girl’s life may have lived closer to home. And even as another young woman disappears, they have to ask the question: Which is the greater evil - the devil you know or the devil you don’t?

SUSPENSE!

Would you consider the audio edition of The 9th Girl to be better than the print version?

yes, it is because it gives me the ability to find the time for books

What other book might you compare The 9th Girl to and why?

All Tami Hoag books are awesome and comparable

What about David Colacci’s performance did you like?

I like how he reads it with inflection and suspense

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The plot twist

Any additional comments?

I love the way Tami Hoag writes, I find her books very suspenseful and love the plot twists. She has a little bit of romance in her books but not too much to make it sappy.

Fantastic!

This is a fantastic, crazy thriller with plenty of twists and turns that kept my attention throughout!

suspenseful

the up the author did a great job the narrator did a great job this is a great book to listen to I finished it in two days which is very rare for me I hope you enjoy it as much as I did

Every parent's nightmare

The story was gripping. The characters were so real that I kept needing to check in with my own teenage children.

Love the characters

Just what a good Mystery should be. Complex but not unbelievable and with people you want to care about.

Great story!!!

The 9th Girl

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Definitely, I was constantly on the edge of my seat from the first page. It just went on from there.and never stopped.I hated to see this book end!

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, definitely, right from the beginning. The twists and turns never ended.

What does David Colacci bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The way he differentiates the characters voices. You can actually forget that a man is narrating Kovak, then Liska etc..

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Tense, never knowing what was going to happen next.

Any additional comments?

Excellent read, do yourself a favor, if you like Gore/ psychological thrillers, this is the book for you

It got better towards the end

The story started off slow, but got much better by the end. There were a lot of characters which sometimes made it hard to follow but overall the story was great and I was surprised by who the killer was.

Loved it

Loved it. couldn't put it down. unbelievable ending.
Tami Hoag is one of my new favorites!

Love this narrator!

This narrator is by far better than the last books narrator. Great story and I like the characters and their interactions with each other, especially the two detectives.
