Where do I start with a review of this book short of saying “I loved it” from
the first word?

The cover is just my type of cover – pink and black is one of my favourite colour combinations, and it just looks so perfect for this book, given the title and the startling cover image of a girl in the woods at night time. It was the cover and synopsis that had me requesting the book as well as the fact the title is about someone’s whereabouts. This insinuated I’d be in for a thriller with a lot of drama and suspense mixed into the plot and I wasn’t wrong.

I Know Where She Is has a sinister side and can be very dark, but it also has a very tender, human side to it in the aspects of family life and the mother-daughter relationship to the fact that Francine reaches out to help ” Lena” (Cherry) and is so naturally driven to find her daughter. At times, it seemed Cherry wanted a mother figure in Francine, and there are some touching moments between them.

I Know Where She Is Know Where She Is by SB Caves is an outstanding debut novel that will have you hooked from beginning to end if you love great suspense. It certainly had me hooked! This is the first novel that I have ever read by SB Caves, and what an excellent novel it is. It’s full of twists and turns and the horror and suspense is never-ending.

At the heart of novel, there is an incredibly horrific but at the same time heroic plot surrounding the disappearance of a girl called Autumn during a trip to the shopping mall with her family, and her mother, Francine’s unwavering quest to find her. I’d hate to think of anything like this happening to me if I were a mother, but the question arises: how would you cope if you were Autumn’s parents? It doesn’t bear thinking about. SB Caves tackles the issues head on and in a sensitive and enthralling way.

10 years after Autumn goes missing, Francine is sent a letter with 5 words: I KNOW WHERE SHE IS. All this time, Francine has turned to drinking heavily to cope with her daughter not being around, while also seeking some help from psychics. Autumn’s dad, Will, has turned her disappearance into a kind of business.
What Francine thinks is a sick and twisted joke soon becomes part of her hunt for her daughter as she meets the author of the chilling note. What happens next is a rollercoaster ride of a plot that is as dark and thrilling as it is suspenseful.

As I finished the book, my only thought was “wow!” I’m hoping for a sequel to this. SB Caves’s writing, plot and characters gets right inside you. I Know Where She Is is a book I will never forget. I’m hoping we will be seeing more from SB Caves as her writing in this book blew me away. I felt happy sad scared nervous and anxious and love books that make me feel that way. I can see that SB Caves has enormous talent for thriller/suspense writing.

5 stars (I would give it more if I could). Huge thanks to SB Caves and Canelo and of course to NetGalley for my very gratefully recieved review copy. I am thrilled and so excited to also be a part of the blog tour for this title.

This book started out with such promise that I was drawn immediately into the search for Autumn who disappeared 10,years earlier. The story unfolded at a great pace and I was fully invested in Francine’s quest to find out what happened to her and whether she was still alive.

However, half way through the book once she started hunting down Glenn Schilling, the book became implausible and took a turn into the ridiculous. It was hard to believe and understand Francine’s thinking and actions and it all felt a bit ridiculous.

For this reason I can only give 2 stars as the book started great, but finished disappointingly.

This was a brilliant read. As soon as I started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it. Highly recommended

With thanks to netgalley and the author.

I know where she is. Is a great thriller that kept me hooked and guessing right up to the final page. I really enjoyed this book.

Thank you for the opportunities to read this book. I have attempted it on a number of occasions but unfortunately I haven’t been able to get into it.

Omg talk about a roller coaster read wow this book kept me on the edge of my seat threw out I just couldn't put it down this writer keeps you hooked and once your hooked your not letting go I found this book thrilling the characters were fantastic and well thought out and the little clues all the way threw keep you guessing until the end this book stays with you long after you close the book this book is well worth the read I promise you wont be disappointed

Ten years ago Francine’s daughter Autumn was abducted. No signs or sightings of her except leaving the mall with a man and another young child. One day Francine receives a note saying I know where she is. Is this true or is this someone playing a cruel joke on her? The very next day a young lady visits her claiming to have posted the note the day before and also knowing her daughter. At first Francine doesn’t believe her until she tells her things that only Autumn would know. Knowing that her daughter could be alive Francine starts to look for her again with no help and no assistance.
This book was slow to start but quickly gained my interest and became fast paced with twists and turns and kept me guessing at every corner. I highly recommend this book for a good read.
Thank you to netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest views.

So, I started this book without knowing a lot about it. I read the synopsis and it sounded intriguing enough. However, I never knew it would focus so much on sexual assault. There’s no warning so, if you’re planning on reading this book, keep that in mind.

Autumn, Francine’s daughter, has been missing for ten years. Francine’s life has crumbled around her but, when she receives a letter with the words “I know where she is”, hope springs back up.

I did not like any of the characters in this novel. I understand the need to create flawed people but these were too much. The book also felt repetitive. Francine was always having the same conversation, with the same people and it honestly got boring.

I DNF’d this book halfway through. I tend to avoid doing this but I felt like I was forcing myself to read something I was not enjoying. I wanted to like it but, sadly, couldn’t.

A gripping thriller and very well written. It follows Francie who's daughter was kidnapped 10 yers ago and the young woman who says she knows what happened.
Highly recommend

I read this a long time ago but really enjoyed it.
It wasn't the most original book I've ever read but I'd still recommend it to a friend.
Looking forward to reading more from this author

Thank you for letting me read this book. Missing for ten years, a mother will do anything to get her daughter back. Suspense filled thriller, although I feel the story just ended so was a bit disappointing. I'm hoping it has been left so a sequel can be written as I did enjoy the story and will definitely read another S B Caves book.

Really enjoyed this. Kept me enthralled and turning the pages. Great characters. Great plot.
Thank you NetGalley for this arc.

Wow! This was fabulous! The storyline was tense and fast paced throughout. I found myself walking round the house with earphones plugged in for the whole time! I couldn’t stop listening. I was gripped with the plot, a mother determined to find her kidnapped daughter! Amazing!!
This Psychological Thriller has everything you want from this genre.

Really enjoyable read. Good characters and a Good story. Well worth a read. Think others will enjoy.

Great story by S.B. Caves. Really fabulous story, that kept me turning the pages!! A thrilling plot, and characters.

On the tenth anniversary of her daughter Autumn's abduction, Francine receives an anonymous note containing just five words: I KNOW WHERE SHE IS. A brilliant and gripping book about every parents worst nightmare.

An interesting concept that was well written. I enjoyed this book - would read more by this author in the future.

This mystery thriller has it all - abduction, enslavement, torture, a cult, a private army, but most of all, incredibly strong women. Francine has lost everything except hope and goes to extreme lengths to find her daughter, willing to do anything that gets her closer to finding out what happened to her. This fast-paced psychological thriller has the reader glued to its pages, desperate to find out what happens next and how its characters extricate themselves from impossible situations. I loved the absolutely badass women in this book and the unwavering dedication of Francine to find Autumn, as well as Autumn's incredible commitment to helping the girls.

I started out really liking this book. That did not last long. It goes from ridiculous to downright unbelievable. Francine turns into Superwoman in the blink of an eye. Not to my liking. I doubt that I will read other books by this author.

I loved this book! A full 5 stars from me as it hooked me, pulled me in and kept me gripped from the first page to the last.
It's at times a harrowing read as it tells the story of a girl who is abducted as a child and the trauma experienced by her (and other girls) as well as her mother and her father. The fabulous thing for me is that the subject matter is handled so, so well and at no time does it become gruesome or 'too much' as is the case in some books.

This one romps along at a great pace and left me wanting more from this excellent author.

I read in 24 hours, just, couldn't put it down.

Wishing every success to SB Caves and thanks so much to you, netgalley and Canelo publishers for the opportunity to preview. Wow!
