About this listen

From debut author Amy K. Green comes a devastating tale of psychological suspense: A teen pageant queen is found murdered in a small New England town and her sister's search for answers unearths more than she bargained for.

Days after a young pageant queen named Jenny is found murdered, her small town grieves the loss alongside her picture-perfect parents. At first glance, Jenny's tragic death appears clear-cut for investigators. The most obvious suspect is one of her fans, an older man who may have gotten too close for comfort. But Jenny's half sister, Virginia - the sarcastic black sheep of the family - isn't so sure of his guilt and takes matters into her own hands to find the killer.

But for Jenny's case and Virginia's investigation, there's more to the story. Virginia, still living in town and haunted by her own troubled teenage years, suspects that a similar darkness lies beneath the sparkling veneer of Jenny's life. Alternating between Jenny's final days and Virginia's determined search for the truth, the sisters' dual narratives follow a harrowing trail of suspects, with surprising turns that race toward a shocking finale.

Infused with dark humor and driven by two captivating young women, The Prized Girl tells a heartbreaking story of missed connections, a complicated family, and a town's disturbing secrets.

An absolute MUST read!

I didn't want to press pause. The narrator's are fantastic and the story has you talking to yourself trying to guess what is happening next! The story has so many twists and turns and it is absolutely phenomenal!

Crazy ending

It has been a while since I read a book that had me stumped on who the killer was. I was like who they heck is it?!?! And then when I found out I was completely shocked because I didn’t see it coming. I can’t wait to see more work from Amy K. Green.

Messed Up People with Messed Up Lives

Mixed about this. So many mistakes made by people all ending in tragedy that basically goes unpunished. Quick listen. i liked parts. i feel like shaking these characters to give them some sense.

Think about updating the narrator

The story-line seemed like it was good, but the bland narration caused me to be easily distracted from listening.
Perhaps reading the book would be a better option. Only heard about 4 hours before completely losing interest.
