The Girl in the Wall: Emily Slate Mystery Thriller, Book 9
You never know what’s hiding behind your walls.
Special Agent Emily Slate is a woman on a mission. Someone is sending her letters written in her dead mother’s handwriting, and she’s not about to stop until she finds out why.
But when she receives a mysterious phone call from town where she grew up, Emily doesn’t believe it’s a coincidence. After all, where better to start tracking down the person who wrote the letters than in her own hometown?
Except, when she arrives, she finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation. Initially a suspect, eventually she learns that the body of a missing seventeen-year-old girl was found in the walls of what used to be her childhood home. Not only that, but the victim was the sister of Emily’s one-time best friend.
With an entire town on edge, Emily isn’t willing to leave the investigation up to the local cops. And as the secrets surrounding the girl’s death begin to unravel, Emily finds herself in the crosshairs of a dangerous killer—one who has operated unchecked for over twenty years.
Will she be able to find out who buried a body in the walls of her old home before anyone else goes missing? Or will the killer catch up with her first?
It all comes back to The Girl in the Wall.

You can Never Go Home Again
Agent Emily Slate of the FBI is becoming one of my guilty pleasures. I can barely wait until each new book is released. The breathless excitement that accompanies her stories is downright addictive.
The Girl in the Wall opens with a disturbing scene between a teenage girl, her father and, presumably, her boyfriend. Circumstances go encouragingly at first, then skid out of control ending in horrendous violence.
Cut to the DC office of Agent Slate, where she and her best friend, Agent Zara Foley are bemoaning their workload. Suddenly, Emily is called into her Boss's office, Fletcher Wallace, and ordered to take two weeks off.
Unbeknownst to anyone other than Agent Liam Coll, Emily's boyfriend, Emily has received a letter in what looks like her mother's handwriting. A mother now deceased for seventeen years.
Emily decides to go back to her hometown, Fairview, Virginia, and investigate possible clues to the letter. Since Zara is working another case and Liam can't get away, Emily goes by herself.
Before she can blink twice, Emily is drawn into a case involving serial murders, mysterious bodies, a seemingly random arsonist and blown away by memories.
Working on a 'voluntary' basis because she's supposed to be off work, Emily has to deal with belligerent deputies, lackadaisical police work and dangerous situations without the protection of her FBI buddies.
I held my eyelids open just to finish the book in one reading because I was absolutely hooked. Each page led to a new discovery, a twist I hadn't anticipated and by the end I was exhausted but happy. Highly recommended.

Man these books really get me. I keep telling myself to take a break from the series but can I? I don’t think so

Received as an ARC, this is an honest review. Just when Emily thought her life can finally get back to something of normalcy another cryptic letter falls into her lap; along with an odd call from her hometown police department leaves Emily with no excuse to avoid her hometown of Fairview despite harsh memories that cloud the place. But once back home, neighborhood gossip upends the whole reason Emily has come home: a body has been found meticulously buried in the wall of her childhood home. While not an official case, Emily cannot ignore how Jessica Ashford's murder connects her back to an old friend she's lost touch with. Determined to give Judy and her father the truth and justice they deserve, Emily finds herself in race against time to piece together a murderer's identify together that knows how to remain anonymous to achieve a killer's ultimate goal. Fairview may be one small town but the explosive revelations unburied will change it and Emily's search for her own answers forever.
Highly recommended.
Highly recommended.

Great story
The story lines are great in these books but the proof readers are awful. There are a dozen spelling errors or wrong words. They should proof it as if they were truly into the story. Not just grazing over the words. The only thing wrong with this whole series.

Good
This was good. Moving parts everywhere, with an extensively complex way of hiding in plain sight. The most intriguing part is the blurb in the next edition of the series. Truly a whet your whistle kind of hint.

oh my!
What a nightmare! While I see the story threads, the summons by Emily’s hometown law enforcement agency was odd, and not what I’d consider a legitimate protocol.
Entertaining, if not realistic, nonetheless.

Cool book
Cool book. Love the twist in Emily’s return to her hometown. She always manages to catch the bad guy, but seems to always get hurt in the process.

The latest installment in the Emily Slate series by Alex Sigmore has Emily returning to her hometown when a girl’s body is found hidden in a wall in the house she grew up in. Old friends and old memories are dredged up as she tries to find the dangerous killer who’s been loose in her town all this time.
This book has lots of twists and new insights into Emily’s life. Plus an overconfident psychopath, who I couldn’t wait to hear more about because I knew if Emily took him down, it would be that much more satisfying. And this book and the rest of the series are all on KindleUnlimited.

Girl in the wall sees Emily being put on mandatory leave by her Boss, as a result of just sheer mental and psychological exhaustion from all of the events that have unfolded over the past several months including multiple major cases, uncovering who killed her husband which led to a core of corruption in the FBI and higher with all sorts of horrific human and sex trafficking, drugs, money and multiple other illegal activities.
Forced to go on leave, Emily decides this might be time to look into the strange letters that have come from her long dead mother. Having had someone from the handwriting section analyse the letters, there is a good chance that they were written by her mother, but not 100%. With little leads to go on, Emily receives a call from the Police in her old home town of Fairview, asking her if she could please come to their station and speak with the Chief there.
Wanting to go to the town anyway to speak to her Mum’s old friends, Emily heads there, but is not prepared for what she walks into.
On arriving, she goes past her old house, and finds that it is blocked off, it is a crime scene. After a bit of digging, she finds out that there has been a body of a young girl found behind a wall in the house. The body is of a young girl that went missing when Emily was still a young girl living in the town, someone she knew, and the sister of a friend of hers.
Although she is not technically acting as an FBI agent, as she is on leave, she speaks with the Chief of Police and offers her help, because of course, Emily Slate just can’t help but be involved.
The local Police are little help with the investigation, believing that the dead girl is a cold case, and they are tied up with other more pressing matters, but Emily feels a pressing need to try and find out what happened to Jessica, if for nothing else, to help her old friend Judy Ashford.
With some help from a rather eccentric Forensic Psychologist who works part-time for the Police, Anna Forest, the two begin their own ‘off-the-books’ investigation into the case.
The story follows on from there, with an intriguing investigation (I don’t want to give anything away), that digs into the town’s history, as well as some of Emily’s history. We learn about multiple residents that lived in the town, some that stayed, and some that moved on, but all that have a link to this missing girl Jessica Ashford.
Sigmore builds this fascinating story from Emily’s perspective, of this once very shy and reserved young girl, who left this town to be something, and has now returned a confident, and quite brilliant FBI agent, although to some extent, her life is still in a lot of turmoil. As she investigates Jessica Ashford’s life, she also looks into her own past, and through her eyes, we get to see all of the relationships she used to have.
As Anna and Emily investigate, there are several aspects of their investigation that lead to somethings from both the past and the present that no one saw coming, and it takes us on another exceptional, gritty and stunning ride.
This is a really fascinating part in the series, as we learn a lot about Slate, all tied into a really thrilling mystery as well. There are also some other things that occur I won’t give away, but that add even more to the story.
Slate continues to grow as a character, as does her relationship with several of the other major characters in the book.
Her Boss seems to be developing as well which is good to see in this story.
For fans of the series, this was an intriguing and engaging addition to the series, and an absolute must read!!
Already into book 10!

I enjoyed this book as it did keep me guessing who the murderer was. What’s kind of silly is Emily is supposedly a black belt in several disciplines yet she continues to get her butt kicked (in this book as well as the 8 that preceded it). For once I’d like to see her win hand to hand combat she allegedly is so highly trained in.
Also, as I’ve commented in my reviews of the other 8 books, the typographical errors are numerous and annoying. In addition, as in all the other books, there are so many errors in the storyline I have to wonder if there is anyone proofing/editing these books. Very sloppy writing in my opinion.
Example, in the beginning it states Emily finally confirmed her husband’s death was not by suicide. Um, WHAT?? No where in the first 8 books was his cause of death questioned!! He had a heart attack!! What suicide??? Then a detective tells Emily he handled her mother’s “case” (her death) and Emily’s father was questioned regarding her death. WHAT??? Her mother died slowly of some disease and passed in the hospital!!! What case??? Her death wasn’t questioned!
This series has its entertainment value and makes for easy reading, but these inconsistencies occur several times and are found in all the books in this series. Just sloppy writing/editing and quite annoying.

Gives the saying “skeletons in the closet” a new meaning
A whirlwind of events finds Emily back in her hometown, aiding local police as they investigate the discovery of a body hidden within the walls of Emily’s childhood home. It’s someone Emily has a connection to, a teenager who has been missing since their high school days, and the older sister of Emily’s childhood best friend.
Emily is on her own for this case. With Zara off-the-radar (working undercover) Emily is forced to seek out help from others. Watching her navigate her former hometown and all the memories it dredged up was relatable. Who doesn’t recall the teenage drive to ‘get out’ of their hometown and to do something big with their lives?
While trying to solve the case, Emily also has an ulterior motive: seeking out information about her mother which might help her get to the bottom of the mysterious, taunting letters she’s received.
This murder mystery was a twisted one! The killer hiding the body in the home of their own family?!? What a Machiavellian move. I loved watching Emily as she was forced to rely on other people for help with this case. It’s not easy for her, but it’s rewarding to see her grow and change a little through each installment.

4.5 Stars
The Girl In The Wall is the ninth book in the Emily Slate Series by Alex Sigmore.
This has the vibes of crime thrillers that feel like binge-worthy TV shows, but in book form. Alex Sigmore has created FBI agent, Emily Slate, who’s tough, smart, and just the right amount of emotionally messy to make her feel real and relatable. She’s not some flawless superhero type - she’s been through loss, made mistakes, and still pushes forward, which makes you root for her even harder.
Each book has its own mystery, but there’s also this ongoing thread about Emily’s personal life and career struggles that keeps you hooked from one installment to the next. The twists are sharp, and while you might guess a few things, the author still manages to throw in curveballs that make you go, wait, WHAT?!
Well worth the read.
Happy Reading…

3.5 It may be because I’m reading them so close together but I’m finding these books going downhill. Emily is becoming more unlikable, she’s gaining a reputation I feel she hasn’t really earned, the cases are becoming more unrealistic, and the cases aren’t being explained as well. In this book, there were major timeline issues and the motive of the killer wasn’t fully explained at the end. You could infer most of it but from what you inferred it didn’t seem super plausible. It would have been nice after reading what felt like the same thing over and over to have a full explanation at the end. The last novels in this series has made me realize why it’s a Kindle Unlimited series and how multiple novels were published in a year.

This was pretty darn good! Loved the backstory behind Emily and how there are more books that will explain her even more. Sounds like we’ll get to learn about the letters, learn about Zara, learn about her and even learn what happened to her late husband! I’m probably missing some haha
So the book is great at character building!
The plot was pretty good too! It felt like I was listening to a true crime podcast and learning about details at the same time the detective is! Made me feel like I was solving a mystery as well! Lots of twists and turns in a good way! I’m definitely going to read more of the books

Alex has done it again and knocked one out of the park!
I was slow in getting to this book in time for publication to do my advanced reading duties, and I wish I had gotten here sooner. This was quintessential Emily Slate - right down to defying all odds and all orders. The author has stayed on point with this character, down to her last flaw, and the consistency is paying off.
This roller coaster might start slow, but you'll be zipping at astronomical speeds as you near the end of this one.
Again, stellar outing by the author!
Overall rating: 4.64298

THIS BOOK was amazing. Maybe I’m easy to impress lmao. Only thing that lacks for me is her personal life world building around our main character FBI special agent Emily. I loved that this read like an episode of Law and Order SVU. I LOVED that we got the killers POV for some chapters, really keeps the reader engaged and interested. This my first book into this world and I didn’t feel to lost that I was missing info. I want to read the others that’s for sure. This is like right on par with adult James Patterson books I think.

3.5 Another quick read. Part of a series.
FBI agent Emily Slate receives two letters written in her dead mother’s handwriting. Then she is contacted by the chief of police in Fernview, the town where she grew up, bidding her return. Coincidence? Emily thinks not.
When she arrives in Fernview she finds out that the body of a missing seventeen year-old girl was discovered, her body having been hidden in the wall of the very house where Emily grew up. Emily agrees to help investigate.
Who killed Jessica Ashford and hid her body in the wall?

February 10, 2025Emily goes to her hometown at the request of the Sheriff. She hopes to try to find out more about her mother while she's there. She ends up solving a murder that leads to a serial killer. There is more communication from her mother. And, her best friend is missing at the end of the book. The ongoing story does not advance much in this book. The case she solves is interesting as is the hometown setting helps us understand Emily a little better. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to readers of the series.

I liked this book the least of all the Slate series. It was exciting and thrilling but just not my favorite. I do recommend the entire series to anyone who likes a good mystery. Alex 's mind intrigues me. How he comes up with these dramas amazes me. I definitely will read anything he creates. I'm a fan!

Best one so far!
This book was fast paced and kept me riveted with every page I turned. From the beginning, you could feel the type of intensity this book was going to have. By creating several new characters that you “love to hate”, Alex Sigmore left you questioning who was the REAL criminal!

Too good to put down....
Oh gosh!!!! I read BOTH books 8 AND 9 today and I want to start book 10 SO BADLY! But it will have to wait till morning...oh, EMILY, what are you going to get into next?
These last 3 books (at least) have been almost impossible to put down, and oh, darn, I don't want to wait until tomorrow to start the next one! Keep the story going, Alex!

It was a decent book. It was pretty slow in the beginning, but when it got better, it got much better. The ending was a cliffhanger, but I’m not sure I’ll read the next in the series. It doesn’t sound quite as interesting. The way the story flowed felt like I was actually a fly on the wall for an FBI investigation. It was very fun and it kept my attention once it got going.

Best book of the series
This book, and in fact all the books in the Emily Slate FBI series, have been riveting.
Emily Slate is such an empathetic, amazing character. I can picture living as her best friend. All the characters are so well fleshed out that you feel part of the mystery they are solving. It's a great read.

Another great mystery
These books keep me so interested and wanting to read more. The characters are exciting and the plot goes in lots of different directions. I can't wait to start reading book 10 since they left you in such suspense in book 9. If you want great mysteries read this series.

Great story. Great series.
Will have to wait a few months for book 10, but it is worth the wait. In this book, Agent Slate takes care of personal business after a body is found in the wall of her childhood home.
