A scientist and reluctant psychic is brought in to find a girl who went missing long ago in the new novel by Julia Heaberlin, the bestselling author of We Are All the Same in the Dark

Vivvy Bouchet, daughter of a known psychic, was ten when she saved a boy’s life by making an impossible prediction. Now she’s an astrophysicist in Texas, devoted to science, but the boy she saved has become a cop who continues to believe she can see things no one else can. When he begs for help on the high-profile cold case of a kidnapped girl, Vivvy steps back into the ocean of voices that once nearly drowned her.

She is forced to team up with detective Jesse Sharp, a skeptic of anything but fact. When Vivvy becomes the target of a conspiracy theorist podcaster, she fights back with both her scientific mind and her inexplicable gifts, hoping to lure a kidnapper, find a child who haunts her, and lay some of her own ghosts to rest.

Sharply relevant, Julia Heaberlin's Night Will Find You explores the mysterious nature of belief—in psychic power, in science, in conspiracies, in a higher power—and the delicate dance between scientific truth and the things we can’t explain.

Critic reviews

“Night Will Find You is an expertly rendered mystery, complete with compelling characters, an impeccably paced plot, and surprising twists. Heaberlin writes with such aching beauty I found myself pausing to relish her words and then racing ahead because I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. A must-read!”—Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of The Overnight Guest

“Night Will Find You is a mesmerizing, unputdownable love letter to the mysteries of science and the human mind. With an unforgettable cast of characters—a reluctant psychic and grieving daughter, a wildly popular conspiracy theorist, a police officer with shadowy motives—Julia Heaberlin pays homage to everything we don't know about the universe and ourselves. I am already missing my time inside this world.”—Katie Gutierrez, nationally bestselling author of Good Morning America book club pick More Than You’ll Ever Know

“Night Will Find You is a rare thriller that seamlessly straddles the mystic and the scientific. Compelling and compassionate, Hearberlin’s novel has one foot firmly planted in our world of misinformation and the other reaching for the inexplicable. I loved it.”—Ivy Pochoda, acclaimed author of These Women

Meh.

It’s good enough to listen to while I’m working. However, it is very pro-lib and insults conservatives. I almost stopped listening as it became too preachy.

Also, the main character is a scientist — the author is not, and it shows.

Fantastic listen!

An astrophysicist w psychic abilities, a missing girl…and a slight love triangle. Vivi is back in her small Texas hometown to bury her mother when her ex BF…now her BIL…asks for help in the cold case of a missing toddler who was presumed dead. She has to work with skeptic, Detective Sharpe, who she is attracted to and maybe it can go somewhere if she can let go of her feelings for her now-brother-in-law. The story certainly keeps your attention throughout….the ending leaves you breathless. Definitely recommend this book.

Loved it!

Found this to be intriguing and kept me engaged throughout. This was the first novel I’ve listened to by the author and will definitely check out her others.

Finished in Two Days!

The story line of this book is original and captivating. I couldn’t stop listening, finished it in two days! The author did an excellent job with the intricate details about the setting and characters. It makes you feel like you are right there with them. The narrators voice is soothing and familiar, she does a great job portraying the emotional rollercoasters the characters are riding on.

Interesting concept

The story concept was great, but so many contradictory, hard to understand decisions of the protagonist. So stupid it’s hard to even finish the book 😂
