thank you netgalley and Canelo for this arc in exchange for my honest review. Francine's daughter went missing. Ten years later she receives a mysterious letter saying 'I know where she is'. Francine is drawn into a depraved world to save her daughter. This book was so quick paced it leaves you gasping for breath! Again one of my favourite style where you are casting the characters into their movie role and then boom it's finished. Loved it

A unique concept, one that's quite dark, definitely page turning material. This book had the potential to be something great but I felt that it was rushed and ended to abruptly.

This book is a must read! It had me gripped from page 1 right through to the end and no idea as to how it was going to pan out. The story was well written and followed a good progression. I didn't think there were any parts of it that made me debate whether to carry on.

This was a truly good read!!

I thought this was a really interesting read and the book is easy to follow which is a major plus. Francine's daughter was kidnapped when out shopping as a child, she has always felt autumn wasn't dead. Then one day a young girl shows up at her work telling her that her daughter is alive and is essentially a slave in a house Lena has just escaped from. Francine has to uncover a whole tangled web of lies, deceit and danger to get her daughter back. Definitely a good debut for the author. Thanks net galley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for the honest review

This is a very tense story right from the start. I cannot say I enjoyed it, the subject matter is simply too awful. But overall it is a really excellent read. It feels very real, and your mind tells you that this does happen, perhaps not to the scale suggested. Francine is very well written, I can imagine a mother disintegrating like this if her only child is abducted, and never found. The reactions of her husband are very understandable too. The bravery of Autumn is remarkable, but she has little choice, her life is on a knife edge.

The book does have a somewhat happy ending, but the abruptness of the end suggests there might well be a sequel. This is not a book to be read in one, at least not for a timid soul like me! I had to read two or three chapters at a time, then stop for something lighter. So the story haunted my dreams for a few nights!

I found the writing absolutely spellbinding, S B Caves is definitely a writer to watch out for.

I know where she is by s b caves.

She will do things she never imagined herself capable of.But will Francine get her daughter back – or is it too late?
This was a fantastic read with brilliant characters. I was hooked from page one. I didn't expect that. Full of twists. I do hope there is more to come. It feels like there will be. 5*. Netgalley and can Elodies.

I received a mysterious email from the publisher about I Know Where She Is and it totally caught my attention. I wanted to know more so I requested it on NetGalley as soon as I could.

Wow this book got under my skin! I felt invested in Francine's story almost as soon as I started reading, I wanted the same answers as she did - I wanted to know what had happened to her daughter. I think being a mother myself made the storyline even more real for me, my motherly instincts took over and I couldn't help but feel involved. This wasn't always a good thing because there were some scenes that were incredibly difficult for me to read and brought tears to my eyes. The further I read, the more sinister things became.

When the storyline switched to Autumn's perspective I felt a variety of things, mainly horror but also intrigue because by this point I had so many questions circling around my mind. What followed was uncomfortable at times and so tense but I just couldn't stop reading, waiting for the outcome that I was hoping for.

Autumn turned out to be my favourite character, she was surprisingly strong but there was also a quiet mysterious side to her which, I think, gave her a dangerous edge.

This was a disturbing but addictive read that was difficult to put down and left me desperate to know what happens next!

This story was definently enthralling and it kept me hooked throughout, so much so that I managed to complete it in a day. Although, please be warned some may find the content triggering.

This is the story of Francine whose daughter was kidnapped 10 years ago. We open with Francine receiving a note echoing the title of the book 'I Know Where She Is'. We then follow Francine's journey as she follows the note and it's sender in the hope of finding her daughter.

I definently enjoyed the story. I found it to be quiet thrilling and, as I said before, it kept me hooked throughout. The chapters were short which is something I like in thrillers. I find this keeps the story moving at a fast pace and I always find myself saying just one more. Also, to me Francine came across as a slightly unreliable narrator, especially at the beginning and this also kept me engaged with the story as I didn't always know what to think.

Although I definently enjoyed the reading experience there were a couple of things I struggled with throughout. I thought there were some aspects of the plot, which I won't mention specifically because of spoilers, that I found a bit too far fetched. To me they felt somewhat too easy to accomplish and therefore unrealistic. I also felt some plot points weren't explained in as much detail as I would of liked them to be, again I won't mention to much because of spoilers, and I would of liked a bit more of Lana' s story.

That being said I did enjoy the characters. I liked the fiestyness and perseverance both Francine and Autumn displayed. They both had strong personalities, especially Autumn, and they didn't give up easily. Which are traits I always like in female characters.

Overall I found this to be quite an enjoyable read. It kept me engaged throughout and I would definently recommend it to people looking for a good page turner. I would give this a 3.5 overall.

Your daughter goes missing and for 10 years this dominates your life. Then one day a strange girl turns up on your doorstep and says " I know where she is" Interesting read which you will want to keep going so you can find out what happens.

Francine is a mess. 10 years ago her daughter (Autumn) disappeared whilst they were out shopping. In those 10 years her husband will has divorced her and remarried and made a fortune on the back of the disappearance. Out of the blue Francine meets Lena who claims that Autumn (now known as Melody) is being held in a house in the woods along with many other girls. The house is visited by male celebrities and even the Police are involved. Francine tries to get her husband involved but he refuses to believe her story. Lena then dies and Francine starts investigating on her own. This is a story of a mothers love and determination to find her daughter whatever has happened. This is a fast paced book as the story evolves and it carries you along with it.

I found this book disappointing. The plot is so unlikely and the book ends with nothing resolved so presumably another book to be written. As a retired Teacher of English I also was not impressed by writing style.

10 years ago Francine's daughter, Autumn, was abducted, whilst Francine dallied in a store. Abducted - in an eye-blink. Gone. Any parent's worst nightmare. It caused an inevitable rift with her snowflake of a husband, who blames her for what took place. On the tenth anniversary of her daughter's disappearance Francine receives a note pushed through her letterbox: "I know where she is". The next day a young woman approaches Francine, claiming to have sent the note. The stranger knows things only Autumn would know. Get prepared for a white-knuckle ride. A descent into the dark world of child kidnapping with unseen terrors that Francine will face - alone. A world so shocking in the scope of its evil and depravity that it had me reeling. And Francine embarks on a journey fraught with danger and will accomplish things she never thought herself capable of. As the story unfolds and Francine begins to learn the truth about Autumn's kidnapping, the relentless pace of her terrifying journey had me totally gripped. Not for the squeamish - this is a novel of real intensity that you won't be able to put down.
With thanks to NetGalley for this uncorrected proof copy.

Read this book in one sitting. I enjoyed the story, no twists, no red herrings, just a good story that has been left open for book two. I would highly recommend this book.

At the start of this I was a little intrigued as to where the plot would go but the further it went I was totally gripped. To be honest this wasn't the easiest of reads with some of the 'dark' content but the author still managed to hook me in and keep me reading. Francine was an interesting character and while I'm still not sure I like her. The ending felt a bit abrupt and there are some unresolved issues which makes me wonder if there will be a sequel.
I do recommend this book but feel I need to qualify it with the mention of the dark subject matter.

To be honest I was expecting more from this book from its initial description. I did not find the story credible nor the conclusion - sorry but I felt underwhelmed and would not be recommending the book.

This was an incredible psychological thriller with an amazing mystery twist. I loved the characters, the storyline and the ending. Fantastic read and I'd highly recommend!

I Know Where She Is is fast paced and shocking. It reads like a short story, but with a lot more unexpected turns. Like a lot of current books in this genre, the story follows a drunken woman bent on discovering an agonizing truth, but her character stands in opposition to that of her ex-husband, whose motives seem much different than her own.
I think a little more inner dialogue would bring the characters' emotions to the forefront, but I like their purpose driven nature.
The satisfyingly fast pace of I Know Where She Is is perfect for someone with a busy schedule, because it has a momentum that carries forward well, even in short reading bursts. This is definitely one to get you out of those dreaded reading slumps!

I didn't enjoy this book, but I did read it from cover to cover. I found the subject matter intensely disturbing and distressing. I can cope with distasteful scenes if the overall lasting impression is uplifting. This wasn't. I was relieved to have finished, but found the ending unsatisfactory. I want justice in one form or another and there wasn't any. Not for me, I am afraid.

This was one of the most gripping books that I have read in a long time - a real page turner that I could not put down. Will be recommending to friends and family members!

I Know Where She Is opens with Francine, a functioning alcoholic who manages to exist against a backdrop of unimaginable tragedy. She has seen almost ten years go by since the disappearance of her daughter Autumn on a shopping trip. Her ex-husband has dealt with the loss very differently and their relationship has broken down. As the book progresses it becomes clear that Francine is right. Autumn is not dead. A handwritten message stating 'I know where she is' is pushed into her mailbox and this sets in motion a shocking, and gripping sequence of events where Francine is forced to draw on strengths that she had no idea were inside her. Can she save her daughter and, ultimately, herself?
I must admit that I was quite surprised by this book. It wasn't what I was expecting at all. I thought it would be more of a police procedural, crime story but instead it's an exhilarating, breathtaking adventure. It's a real rollercoaster ride and the action takes place over quite a short period of time.
I found the transformation of Francine as she does everything she can to rescue Autumn to be the most interesting part of the novel. She goes from barely coping to someone who is prepared to do whatever it takes. She's actually not the most likeable of characters. There is a brittle, unpleasant side to her which serves to make her easier to identify with, oddly. I guess it would be strange if a woman dealing with the loss of her child was able to blithely move on but Caves seems to be able to make you root for her even though you probably wouldn't want to know her.
This should have been a 'one sitting' read. It's quite short and I was forced to put it down about two thirds of the way through. It nagged at me until the next day when I could resume reading and I could read until the end. The pace of the action means that the digital pages vanish very fast.
It won't be a book for everyone as the subject matter is quite dark but it's a dynamic, exciting read and I will definitely be looking out for more books by SB Caves. I suspect there may be a sequel to this novel and I will definitely seek that out.
