There were times that I.felt aspects of this book were just too gritty...too depressing.... but every time I thought I couldn't read any further, I somehow went right back to it. I'm glad I finished it, even though parts of the ending made me kind of sad. However, I felt like the stories of these women, those less desirable in the eyes of society needed to be told, even if this was just a work of fiction. A main-ish character died, and that was hard to swallow, but I was happy with how the story ended. I will absolutely recommend this book.

I really enjoyed reading an advanced copy of Please See Us by Caitlin Mullen. It’s a hard to put down mystery following 2 women as they try to piece together clues to find a woman before it’s too late. I was hooked right away and enjoyed the ending. The author does a great job developing the characters and emotions.

Please See Us is a unique, enigmatic narrative by debut author Caitlin Mullen. The plot moves at a nice steady pace with surmountable tension and is well supported by Mullen’s creative cast of characters. The writing is smooth and effortless as the narrative shifts from one point of view to another. The reader is quickly engaged and abruptly seized by the story line. A fantastic read by an up and coming author. 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for sending me a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Please See Us is a thriller set in Atlantic City that follows two women and unlikely allies as they attempt to reveal mysterious events happening around the town. The women each have secrets of their own, and they must face their personal demons while working together to save missing girls.

This was a good thriller that gave a lot of background to the characters. I really appreciated the character development. I was able to gain insight not only of our protagonists, but of the killer's victims. I did find some parts slow and depressing instead of a quick, page-turner that I was expecting. The story really picked up in the second half as more pieces to the puzzle began to fit and I could get a clear idea of what was happening. Overall, it was a good story mystery, just not as quick-paced as I would have liked.

What a fantastic read!!! Please See Us grabbed me from the very first page!! I found this thriller equal parts creepy and alluring!! I loved Caitlin Mullen’s writing style and I felt the pacing and flow was spot on!! Please See Us is told in alternating points of view which works perfectly with the plot and added to the suspense! I knew after reading the description that this book would definitely keep my attention, but I had no idea it would be so consuming!!!! I am truly shocked that this is Caitlin Mullen’s debut novel— she writes like a seasoned vet!!!! Please See Us is a complete 5 star novel that I guarantee will “wow” even the most avid mystery/thriller fans!!
