### Review "*Cemetery Girl* is a smasher. It twists and turns and never lets go, and...it could happen just this way." -Jacquelyn Mitchard, *New York Times* bestselling author of *The Deep End of the Ocean* and *Second Nature* "*Cemetery Girl* is more than just an utterly compelling thriller-- and it certainly is that. David Bell's stellar novel is also a haunting meditation on the ties that bind parent to child, husband to wife, brother to brother--and what survives even under the most shattering possible circumstance. An absolutely riveting, absorbing read not to be missed." -Lisa Unger, *New York Times* bestselling author of *Darkness, My Old Friend* "Trust me: you have never read a missing persons story like this one....A fast, mean head trip of a thriller that reads like a collaboration between Michael Connelly and the gothic fiction of Joyce Carol Oates, *Cemetery Girl* is one of those novels that you cannot shake after it's over. A winner on every level." -Will Lavender, NYT bestselling author of *Dominance* "*Cemetery Girl* grabbed me by the throat on page one and never let up. An intense, unrelenting powerhouse of a book, and the work of a master." -John Lescroart, *New York Times* bestselling author of *Damage* "A smart, tense, creepy take on the story of a missing daughter, told by her far-from-perfect father. If you think you know this tale--from all- too-familiar newspaper accounts, from lesser movies and books--then this terrific novel will make you think otherwise. -Brock Clarke, national bestselling author of *Exley* and *An Arsonist's Guide to Writers' Homes in New England* ### About the Author **David Bell** is an assistant professor of English at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
