To be honest, I randomly chose this book as my next read. I was very tired when I started The Good Girl and after reading the first chapter I thought I wouldn't enjoy this novel at all. However, my supposition proved wrong. In my opinion, The Good Girl is, first of all, a love story between two people who were bought together under unusual circumstances. Colin Thatcher is supposed to kidnap Mia Dennett, a young art teacher and daughter of a prominent Chicago judge, and deliver her to a dangerous criminal named Dalmar. He changes his mind, imagining what would happen to the girl once she's in Dalmar's possession, and hides Mia in a remote cabin located in rural Minnesota. Except the epilogue, which is told from Mia's point of view, the rest of the story is told from Eve (Mia's mother), Gabe (the detective assigned to investigate Mia's disappearance) and Colin's (Mia's abductor) points of view. The chapters go back and forth in time: before and after Mia was found. This was not a typical mystery novel. It was character-driven and this is why I enjoyed it so much. I'll certainly read other novels written by Mary Kubica and I recommend you to read her debut novel because it is a sensational book.
