About this listen

A pulse-pounding novel about a small-town business owner found dead and the teenage girl caught in the crosshairs, American Girl is the latest thriller from international best-selling author Wendy Walker.

Charlie Hudson, an autistic 17-year-old, is determined to leave Sawyer, PA, as soon as she graduates high school - in the meantime, she works as many hours as she can at a sandwich shop called The Triple S to save money for college. But when shop owner Clay Cooper - a man who is both respected and feared by many in this economically depressed community - is found dead, each member of his staff becomes a suspect in the perplexing case. Charlie must work to protect herself and her friends and uncover the danger that may still be at large in their tightknit community.

Best-selling author Wendy Walker returns with another riveting thriller, told through the eyes of an unforgettable protagonist.

Brilliantly Narrated

The Narrator for Charlie is fantastic, I kept going with this book as she really manages to draw you in to the story. An easy listen with a nice little twist.

I didn’t want this to end!

I enjoyed this book so much. The story tugged me right in from the beginning. There were twists and turns all along the way. I loved all the characters I was supposed to love and despised those I didn’t. The narrator has a Canadian accent (I think - I’m English) and somehow it was softer than those USA narrators I’ve heard on Audible. It seemed to fit our heroine very well. And I almost understood all the pieces of the jigsaw. I hope there are more Wendy Walker books out there. Enjoy!!
