An Anonymous Girls builds slowly with psychological suspense. The novel is engaging from the first page. A hardworking make-up artist, Jessica Farris, reads one of her client’s text messages inviting her to be part of an ethics and morals study. As her client is disinterested, on a whim she shows up instead, and is accepted into the program. The excerpt made me want to know more of her story. She has a sister with special needs and my first impression of her is a type A personality, regimented, and wound tight. The study starts to uncover her deepest secrets.
