A few days earlier, Tuck received a call from the agency, telling her they'd found her mother. But, Tuck tells Jane, upon meeting her she was certain that the woman wasn't her real mother at all, and that she had proof.
Meanwhile, Detective Jake Brogan and his partner Paul DeLuca are called to the scene of a murder at an apartment in Roslindale. The victim was a young woman who'd been found with her head bashed in, thanks to an anonymous 911 call. There were two toddlers, a boy and a girl, found in the home, and all they could communicate were their names, Phillip and Phoebe.

This is a worthy follow-up to Ryan's The Other Woman (which I reviewed here), published almost exactly a year ago. Like its predecessor, The Wrong Girl is a gripping story with a plot that's just complex enough and well-developed characters.
In my review of The Other Woman, I cautioned readers not to begin it near bedtime. I'll reiterate that warning here.
FTC Full Disclosure: Many thanks to Edelweiss and MacMillan/Forge for the e-galley.
