Publisher's summary

From acclaimed author Charlie Donlea comes a twisting, impossible-to-pause novel of suspense in which a filmmaker helps clear a woman convicted of murder - only to find she may be a pawn in a sinister game.

The Girl of Sugar Beach is the most watched documentary in television history-a riveting, true-life mystery that unfolds over 12 weeks and centers on a fascinating question: Did Grace Sebold murder her boyfriend, Julian, while on a Spring Break vacation, or is she a victim of circumstance and poor police work? Grace has spent the last 10 years in a St. Lucian prison, and reaches out to filmmaker Sidney Ryan in a last, desperate attempt to prove her innocence.

As Sidney begins researching, she uncovers startling evidence, additional suspects, and timeline issues that were all overlooked during the original investigation. Before the series even finishes filming, public outcry leads officials to reopen the case. But as the show surges towards its final episodes, Sidney receives a letter saying that she got it badly, terribly wrong.

Sidney has just convinced the world that Grace is innocent. Now she wonders if she has helped to free a ruthless killer. Delving into Grace's past, she peels away layer after layer of deception. But as Sidney edges closer to the real heart of the story, she must decide if finding the truth is worth risking her newfound fame, her career...even her life.

Great book... weak ending

I enjoyed this book. It caught my attention from the first chapter. My only issue is the ending. Out of nowhere, the book abruptly ends. The narrator all of a sudden says, “the end.” So, I do recommend this book. It had twists, was entertaining but don’t expect a satisfying ending because you won’t get it. Wow! I feel like I missed a chapter or two at the end of the book. It’s a good read/listen.

Resolved with a twist.

I will not give the book away, but if you read these often, you will have the answer right away. Worth listening to though, the last chapters pull a twist. The narrator is wonderful!

Best book I've listened to in years

I adore true crime and this book was honestly the best fictional thriller I've listened to in years.

The entire story is captivating. I highly recommend this book.

Intense Read!

I thought the book with very entertaining and interesting. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I absolutely hated what happened to the main character and how the ending wrapped up -too many loose ends. When you read a mystery like that you want thete to be vindication at the end and none of that took place.

Could not stop listening!!

This book was excellent! The captivating plot kept me on the edge throughout. Many fascinating twists, well-developed characters, and a solid narration kept me up all night (literally!), and unexpected developments held my attention through to the very end. Great work from all involved in the production!!
