Have You Seen Her by Catherine McKenzie
Mystery Thriller, 336 pages
Published June 27, 2023 by Atria Books
A thrilling and timely novel 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 and secretive 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, where a case she worked a decade ago continues to haunt her.
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 in this unputdownable thriller.
My thoughts about Have You Seen Her ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)
First lines—"'We're losing light!' Ben yells over the whir of the blades. 'We need to go!'"
Catherine McKenzie is one of my automatic must-read authors. I don't even need to know what the story is about, sign me up! And her stories never disappoint. Going into each one is a new adventure!
Have You Seen Her grabbed me from the very first chapter—the intensity and the need to know what the heck was going on. And then the rest of the story just snowballed from there. How did Ben and Cassie get from point A to point B?
The story is filled with interesting, sometimes a bit annoying, characters. I was intrigued as to how all of these people would tie together and the author does a great job of making them all relevant, even when they didn't seem to be at all. The twist totally caught me off guard, nope didn't see that coming.
I loved everything about Have You See Her and highly recommend it. It will draw you in and have you shaking your head when you realize how devious some people can be. Check it out!
I received a copy of Have You Seen Her from Atria Books via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
