C.J. Grayson’s The Little Girl in the Wardrobe is one of those thrillers that completely pulls you in from the first page. The opening scene - a desperate phone call from a terrified young girl hiding in a wardrobe - gave me chills and had me instantly hooked. From there, the story got darker, twistier, and even more gripping. 

 

The plot is packed with layers, and I loved how it kept me on my toes the whole way through. Just when I thought I’d figured something out, another twist would come along and make me question everything. Between the missing girl, the brutal murder, and all the secrets that get uncovered, there’s so much to sink your teeth into. 

 

That said, I did find the large cast of characters a little tricky to follow at times. The way first and last names were used interchangeably left me a bit confused, especially when some of the characters didn’t feel as fleshed out as I would’ve liked. It made it harder to connect with them fully, which I think is why I struggled to keep track of everyone at certain points. But honestly, that didn’t stop me from flying through the book in a single day. I couldn’t put it down! The pacing was relentless, and the twists just kept coming. Even when I felt slightly overwhelmed by the complexity, the tension and intrigue were so strong that I couldn’t tear myself away. 

 

If you enjoy dark, layered thrillers that keep you guessing right until the end, this one’s definitely worth picking up. Despite a few small challenges, I found it completely gripping, and it’s left me excited to see what C.J. Grayson comes up with next.
