Little Girl Lost: The Return of Johnnie Wise

Little Black Girl Lost #6

by Keith Lee Johnson

With the smell of burning wood and bricks lingering in the cool morning breeze, Johnnie Wise left New Orleans while her home was still smoldering. She had just been acquitted of murdering Sharon Trudeau, one of her former stocker brokers who had stolen a substantial amount of her nestegg. Broke with nothing but the clothes on her back and the shoes on her feet, Johnnie heads to East St. Louis to live with her father. But as fate would have it, car trouble along the way, forces her to stop in Jackson, Mississippi, where she meets handsome Paul Masterson, a roughneck evangelistic preacher who falls for her. Johnnie doesn't know that Earl Shamus is having her followed. Private Detective, Tony Hatcher, is watching her every move and reporting it all back to Earl, who dreams of being a big part of her life again. Will Johnnie give into the trappings of being a kept woman who wants for nothing? Or, will she reject his offer and try to rebuild her fortune the old-fashioned way?

It seems trouble follows Johnnie wherever she goes...It still very hard to believe she's only 17 years old. I thought this was a good continuation of the series as Johnnie & Lucas's lives were discussed. Ready to see how she responds to the new accusations...

This is my least favorite of The Little Black Girl Lost series so far, but it's still a decent read.

IS JOHNNIE EVER GOING GET A BREAK

[LaTrell Franklin]

Good..

The book was good. Not as great as some of them. Still a lot of grammatical errors. I’m starting to think this is on purpose. We are in book 6 and surely all of these are not mistakes.

It keeps getting better

I love this author and this series. The character is relatable and her life is intriguing. I'm looking forward to book 7

[Tonya Walker]

Very good book. Well done Keith Lee

[Mishelle McGrew]

There needs to be another book... need to know what happens to them and with Lucas

[Cheryl Durham]

Mr. Keith Lee Johnson does it again. I'll be the first to say I did not want to read this book. I was growing tired of reading a book by the same author. KLJ hooked me with this one. I felt bad for Johnnie ( how much can one person endure)? Everywhere Johnnie went drama followed. This time around....she's on her way to her father's house (remember it's said that home is the one place where you can always go and you'll be taken in). Prior to getting there, car trouble takes place in Mississippi (in her life comes a charismatic preacher). Enough said....read the book. You will not put it down. Note: There is a book that follows (KLJ will hook you).

It was good, just didn't like the ending so much

[Sandr Johnson]

Excellent. wish there was more!

[June]

The drama continues for JOhnnie Wise. The twists in the last few chapters was unexpected. I imagine the sequel, "Little Girl Lost, Johnnie Wise in the Line of fire" will also be a good read.

[Jeff]

Awesome series. I skipped books 4 & 5 (for now) and read this book in 3 days.

[Kim]
