Have You Seen Her

A Novel

By: Catherine McKenzie

Narrated by: Amanda Dolan, Stacy Gonzalez, Tyla Collier, Machelle Williams, Ali Andre Ali

An “edge-of-your-seat” (Jessa Maxwell, author of The Golden Spoon) thriller about three women with dark secrets whose lives intersect in the picturesque and perilous Yosemite National Park from the USA TODAY bestselling author of Please Join Us.

Equipped with a burner phone and a new job, Cassie Peters has left her hectic life in New York City for the refuge of her hometown of Mammoth Lakes, California. There, she begins working again with Yosemite Search and Rescue, though she is still haunted by a case she worked on a decade ago.

She quickly falls into old patterns, joining a group of fellow seasonal workers and young adventurers who have made Yosemite their home during the summer. There, she meets Petal, a young woman living in a trailer with her much older wife, keeping a detailed diary of the goings on of the park, and Jada, a recent college graduate on a cross-country road trip with her boyfriend, documenting their journey on Instagram.

When these three women cross paths, Cassie’s past catches up with her, and the shocking consequences ripple out far beyond what any could have imagined. “Taut and atmospheric with as many jagged peaks and valleys as its dramatic setting, this captivating page-turner will keep you guessing until the end” (Katherine St. John, author of The Vicious Circle).

Loved!!!

Based on the reviews I wasn’t sure if I should give this book a try, One of my favorite book reviewers (a mystery/thriller lover too!) said it was awesome so I went for it. I should NOT have read the reviews first, the book was great from page one and kept me guessing. It’s a fun twisty read that will capture your attention and hold on to it until the end!

good ending

the book was very slow to start however the ending was good and unexpected.

incredible setup with tension that never let's up.

From the get, I was on board. super unique setting, protagonist, and arc. And my God, what a twist! great stuff.

Addictive

I couldn’t stop listening, I just had to know what happened! I normally can figure a plot out, but the twist was riveting.

I hated the ending

2.5 STARS

Cassie is on the run, back to the mountains she ran from ten years ago and back to working search and rescue. Also on the mountain Jada and her much older partner Sandy and social media blogger Petal and her controlling boyfriend Jim. Their paths cross and worlds collide in mystery.

Though told from the women’s points of view, Cassie is the main character of HAVE YOU SEEN HER and the one to which I felt most connected. Her evasiveness kept me from truly embracing her and I went back and forth on the reliability of her narration. I truly disliked Petal and her naïveté.

The timeline of then and now at times confused me and I forgot who was missing on what timeline.

After finishing HAVE YOU SEEN HER, I needed a bit to digest the ending and writing this review I dropped a star because of my dissatisfaction at the wrap up.
