Review:
Girls Like Us is a psychological thriller, mystery and action back read from beginning to end.
The story moves along quickly as readers follow Nell Flynn though the mystery that seems to change from day to day.
The characters have directions and the secondary characters all have purpose making the story flow quickly until the end.  The book moves quickly and readers will do as the find the answers Nell is looking for.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher G.P. Putnam's Sons for the advance copy of Cristina Alger Girls Like Us.

Synopsis:
FBI Agent Nell Flynn hasn't been home in ten years. Nell and her father, Homicide Detective Martin Flynn, have never had much of a relationship. And Suffolk County will always be awash in memories of her mother, Marisol, who was brutally murdered when Nell was just seven.

When Martin Flynn dies in a motorcycle accident, Nell returns to the house she grew up in so that she can spread her father's ashes and close his estate. At the behest of her father's partner, Detective Lee Davis, Nell becomes involved in an investigation into the murders of two young women in Suffolk County. The further Nell digs, the more likely it seems to her that her father should be the prime suspect--and that his friends on the police force are covering his tracks. Plagued by doubts about her mother's murder--and her own role in exonerating her father in that case--Nell can't help but ask questions about who killed Ria Ruiz and Adriana Marques and why. But she may not like the answers she finds--not just about those she loves, but about herself
