Excellently written book with what is at its core a tough storyline. Descriptive, eeery, heart breaking at times and female heroines what's not to enjoy!

A gripping story of a heartbreaking situation.
Francine, a mother whose daughter was abducted almost 10 years ago. She has never stopped looking or hoping that she will find her.
Will, a father who has seemingly moved on, given up all hope of finding his daughter alive. Yet he is still using the publicity of the abduction to forge his career.
Autumn, abducted almost 10 years ago, is she still alive?
Lena, a girl like Autumn who has managed to escape, finding Francine. Is she as innocent as she seems, or has she lost her sanity and using Francine for her own agenda?
You'll have to read on to find out.
A story, that holds you from the first page, to the last, never once losing its momentum. Covering a situation that is so difficult to read, yet written with an understanding and maturity that anyone reading the book will appreciate.
The story, the characters, will draw you in until you reach the end and will leave you wanting to read more.

A richly disturbing tale of a young kidnapped girl Autumn.

Years after Autumn goes missing her Mum Francine receives a letter with the words I Know Where She Is written on it, Lena arrives in Francine world claiming to know where Autumn is and what has happened to her, Francine believes Lena and goes to look for her daughter to be met by a world of horror.

A really good thriller of a book which I found deeply disturbing yet couldn't help turning the pages to find out what was going to happen.

The book has a very disturbing plot line and can occasionally make for some uncomfortable reading. However, it is very difficult to put down after the first few well written pages.
Sadly, paedophilia is too prevalent in the Western world, as well as in some parts of the Middle East. The plot is very pertinent given the level of fairly recent convictions of celebrity serial paedophiles and the untold thousands of young sex slaves.being abused and tortured by ISIS.
The author does not shirk from writing quite graphic detail. The level of intensity and shock as the story develops, makes the reader overlook the improbability of some of the events.
My cynical side couldn't help thinking that the author is targeting getting the book made into a movie. It would would certainly make a good screen play. The ending certainly reinforces my view!

The fact that the book I read before this one was centred around the same crime—paedophilia/sexual abuse/torture—(not intentional, incidentally…I had no idea before I started either book!)—may suggest that it’s a slightly overdone story line...perhaps.

However, that said, for a debut novel, this is quite an explosive burst onto the literary scene for this author.

Ten years after Francine’s daughter's (Autumn) abduction, she receives a note saying quite simply: I know where she is. The note’s author, Lena, makes herself known to Francine shortly after and tells her she does indeed know where Autumn is. Clinging on to that last vestige of hope that her daughter is still alive, Francine, armed with vague snippets of information from Lena, does things she’d probably only ever seen in movies to try and find her daughter. But a mother will do anything, anything for her child.

It's all a bit ‘convenient’, there are no real intricacies in the plot, there are some plausibility issues, and the story lacks a bit of padding. It isn’t a long book, but I think its conciseness is at the expense of some finer details. The ending is a little hurried and abrupt. But, but, but...for all that, this was a very well-written, gripping—albeit dark, unsettling, disturbing—and compelling story and certainly had me glued to the pages from start to finish.

An excellent start for this author, and I’ll certainly be looking out for his future novels.

I won't lie, I really struggled with the first part of this book, I found the characters unbelievable and not very likeable. The storyline itself is right up my alley, but I just couldn't get into the story, to me it felt bland. Then part 2 hit and the story was kicked up a gear, I started to get into the storyline and I began to warm to the main character. A slow burner but I'm glad I persevered.

This is a gripping and somewhat unsettling novel. It is horrific in parts and may not be for everyone. The characters are very well drawn and the subject matter, although horrifying, is unfortunately totally believable. I couldn't put the book down.

I am so sorry to say that I have had to give up on this book which I have never done before. It just didn't work for me, but that is just my opinion and others may love it.

Well, I haven’t read a book that quickly in a very long time! A truly marvelous piece of work, it had me spellbound from the beginning.

The story is about a mother who had never given up hope of finding her daughter who was abducted ten years previously. Francine is the heroine in this tale and will go to any length to get her daughter back from the clutches of a gang that abduct children to be abused by some of the country’s richest people including celebrities.

I was really rooting for Francine to find her daughter and I loved her sheer determination and drive in her mission. I loved this book and cannot wait to read something else by S.B Caves and the I hope there is a sequel to this based on the ending as I do not feel this is the last you will see of Francine.

This book was like nothing I have ever read before. At one point I thought I may have to abandon it as it was so disturbing but I kept going and I am glad that I did as I did want to find out what happened. The story was about missing girls, one in particular who was taken from her parents to be a sex slave and baby-machine. It was so disturbing to read about the girls ordeals and the scariest thing of all is that it actually could be real life given the state of things nowadays. It was interesting to read how things developed after one of the girl's mother's found out where her daughter was and how things developed from there.

Brilliant book, fast paced and well written. I actually got my husband to read this book after me and he said it was the best book he had read this year (which is high praise indeed) - he doesn't read much and is very picky. He hates too many characters (as he gets them confused) and too much description. This book scores very highly for me too, definitely kept me on the edge of my chair whilst reading.
Good characters, good story and well written. Would definitely recommend it to my friends.
Thanks for letting me read a galley copy

I enjoyed reading this book and it was well written with complex, interesting characters. I found the story troubling though and at times struggled to read it. I'm pleased I persevered but am not sure I would have read it had I known. An important subject though, not to be ignored, but troubling none-the-less.

I can't say this book was enjoyable but it was an excellent read. The characters were dysfunctional but plausible in their situation. This is not a book than can be put down as the answers have to be discovered. Well written and one that keeps you in suspense

This is such an exciting read, a real page turner. I read it very quickly as I really wanted to know what would happen and if Autumn would be found. The plot turns out to be more complex than at first appears. I look forward to seeing what other works this author produces.

A mothers worst nightmare begins when her young daughter disappears from her side whilst shopping. The story begins 10 years later when an anonymous note is pushed through her door claiming that "I know where she is". Francine embarks on a tumultuous journey of finding out who wrote the note, what she knows about her daughters disappearance and then the dangers of tracking her down in the hope of rescuing her. Lena's story of a paedophile ring is full of contradictions and riddles but still sends tremors down your spine. Francine's journey to find her daughter has you on the edge of your seat waiting with bated breath on if she finds her in time.

The book starts off a little slow but soon picks up pace and very quickly you will find that you cannot put it down. Whilst the book is gripping - Francine does not appear to hit any challenges or set backs on her search and everything neatly falls into place but still a great read.

S B Caves - keep an eye out for this exciting new author what an explosive debut thriller can't wait for the next book.
Ten years earlier a little girl disappeared whilst out shopping with her mother no trace of her was ever found. Her parents divorced each dealing with her disappearance in different ways.
One evening the mother received an anonymous note saying only '' I know where she is '' - what follows is a rollercoaster ride you won't be able to put down.
Enjoyed this immensely a well deserved 5 stars.

I really do wish that we could not embrace this subject do much. It is as if there is no other subject worth writing about. This book was harrowing in the e treme. Unbelievable in most instances and generally an uncomfortable read. I finished it, but it left a nasty taste in my mouth. It was just a ridiculous story and not an experience I wish to repeat to be honest.

Took a while for me to get into but once I did, I was hooked.
Hard to read in places due to extreme abuse, this storyline was shocking and heart rending at the same time.
I never really took to Francine but her character was well written and the plot moved along at a reasonable pace culminating in an edge of your seat ending.
Well worth a read.

5☆ Gripping, Fast Paced,Heart Racing, Addictive, Thriller!

I know where she is, literally had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through.
So many twists and turns it had me second guessing myself over and over.
It's fast paced, Gripping, highly addictive, Thrilling and just a bit shocking.

Be prepared once you start this book you will not put it down till the very end!

 Francine and Will's Daughter Autumn went missing 10years ago when she was little.
10years later Francine received a letter through her door....saying ' I know where she is'

Francine and Will have divorced as Francine was drinking and went into depression.
The grief was just too much for them both so they split up.
So when she takes the letter to Will he tells her she's been pranked and she should just go home!

Francine has never given up looking for Autumn and she is convinced the letter is real.

What happens next will turn Francine's life upside down!
She is in for one hell of a ride, and she's not about to let ANYTHING or ANYONE get in her way!

Its here i'm going to stop my review of The plot as believe me it's one story you WON'T want to miss!!

Believe me when I say this story will literally keep you guessing.
Uncovering horrific truths, Scandal, heartbreaking scenes, this story has it all.

Although there are a few graphic scenes, there is also a theme of torture and sexual abuse which some may find distressing.
Although these topics do feature within the story it is handelled with sensitivity.

I adored Francine her Raw Maternal instinct was almost Carnal at times and I admired her determination and her ability to never give up!
 I can Definetly see Mothers & Women being able to relate to her sheer strength and her ability to do whatever it took to find her daughter.

For me I disliked Will. He has moved on with his life. He's new wife is pregnant and he tries to keep that part of he's life locked away.
I hated how he treated Francine.
Yes she came across as a mad women at times and her drinking didn't help.
But a Mother's instinct is always right!!
He shunned her and made her feel like she was crazy. Even when she had evidence of the letter he dismissed her.
He actually infuriated me!

The story did sometimes come across a little far fetched at times, but I loved it all the more because of that.
It stretched your imagination and really made you envision the events unfolding.
But to be honest this story could well become true. There has been cases where this kind of thing has gone on.

I loved the ending. But i wanted more. I do hope there is another book as I want more answers!

I really do urge you to read this book.
It really will keep you hooked and guessing till the early hours.

I highly recommend this book to readers who love Fast Paced Thrillers, Physiological theme, Highly Addictive books, Very Gripping, and Enjoy Twists.
