Cyrus Haven, a forensic psychologist, has been called in on two different cases. The first case is a tough one. A teenage girl has been a ward of the government for six years. The media called her "Angel Face" after she was discovered hiding in an abandoned building where a man was brutally murdered. The police believed that he had kidnapped her and was hiding her. And maybe she was the one who killed him. She is a bit of a difficult soul and has caused problems for the adults in her life. Cyrus is intrigued by the young woman and offers to foster her until the courts deem her an adult.
The second case is one that has shocked the sleepy community. A teenager, Jodie Sheehan, was found brutally murdered. The fact that she was a champion ice-skater makes it all that more shocking. She was a good girl. As Cyrus works with the police to find her killer, Cyrus starts to realize that there is more to Jodie than anybody knows.
Good Girl, Bad Girl is the story of two girls and one forensic psychologist. As the reader, you think you know who is the "good girl" and who is the "bad girl" of this book, but I think you would be wrong. I really liked Cyrus as the main character. He just wants to help. Help those who struggle, help to solve crimes against the innocent - help. He is intelligent and insightful. He has a way to connect with Evie that nobody else can understand. Evie is an interesting character. There is a lot there that requires patience. From both the reader and Cyrus. I have a feeling that if anybody can get Evie to open up, it will be Cyrus. But you aren't going to learn her whole story in this book. There will be another book coming. I will say that there were some aspects to Jodie's story that I did not expect. She definitely was not the good girl that everybody thought she was. - CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS.
Bottom Line - I was surprised at how much I liked Cyrus Haven and Good Girl, Bad Girl. Well written characters and an interesting plot make for a really good book.
