Detective Clara Jefferies has spent years running from her childhood in Alber, Utah. But when she hears that her baby sister Delilah has disappeared, she knows that the peaceful community will be shattered, her family vulnerable, and that that she must face up to her past and go home.
Clara returns to find that her mother, Ardeth, has isolated her family by moving to the edge of town, in the shadow of the mountains. Ardeth refuses to talk to the police and won’t let Clara through the front door, believing she and her sister-wives can protect their own. But Clara knows better than anyone that her mother isn’t always capable of protecting her children.
When Clara finds out that two more girls have disappeared, all last seen around the cornfields near her family’s home, she realizes it’s not just Delilah who’s in danger. And then she gets a call that a body has been found…
Clara will have to dig deep into the town’s secrets if she’s going to find Delilah. But that will mean confronting the reason she left. And as she gets closer to Delilah, she might be putting her more at risk…

The Fallen Girls
By Kathryn Casey
Review by Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews
First, I want to thank Kathryn Casey, Bookouture and NetGalley for this book so I can bring you this review.
The Fallen Girls by Kathryn Casey was a very unique yet incredibly interesting read. This book is just the first book in the Detective Clara Jeffries Series.
What made this abduction very different from any others is that the author chose to write this book based around a poligmay family. A family who were strong in their beliefs and didn’t want help from the outside world.
I love when authors think outside of the box and come up with unique character names. Kathryn did just that in this book. Names like Delilah, Sariah, Sadie, etc.
They always tell you to write what you know about. Kathryn knew a lot about Clara’s story as she had experience in a polygamist community. She wrote as a magazine editor for a story she was working on adoption for a polygamist family.
Kathryn would like to thank her dear friend author Gregg Olsen, who has been so kind to me for so many years. I cherish our friendship. Side note he is an incredible author that I too review for.
