A suspenseful, fast-paced thriller from start to finish, with constant tension and unexpected twists. Fiona's quest to find her missing sister, Amy, kept me hooked in a world of secrets and suspicion. Truly unpredictable and satisfying.

The premise is intriguing Fiona is going back to the scene of her sister Amy’s disappearance 5 years later to find out what really happened. It was a little predictable that’s why I only rated it 3 stars.

Thank you Net Galley for an ARC

Loved the dual povs and the dual timeline really made me connect with the characters and allowed the storyline to unravel gradually.

I enjoyed this! The pacing is done perfectly and the characters are all memorable and intriguing. The ending was good and unexpected. This is a unique thriller I would recommend! Special Thank You to Ann Girdharry, Inkubator Books and NetGalley for allowing me to read a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

I was really excited about this one but it just didn’t hit the mark for me. It started off strong, had interesting characters, lots of suspense and tension, but the ending left me disappointed. The pacing of the story was kind of slow in my opinion, until towards the end when it felt rushed to tie up the loose ends. Unfortunately it didn’t feel as though those loose ends were all tied up. Maybe it’s that there were too many storylines happening at once… it made it difficult to wrap it up in a complete and satisfying way.

Too predictable, not very exciting. Kind of disappointing because there’s so much you could write with this plot. I wouldn’t recommend to my friends and family.

Five years ago, Fiona's sister disappeared without a trace. Fiona is determined to find answers. Going undercover, she rents a room in a house that her sister last stayed in before her disappearance. It is a bit of a creepy place. The landlady is weird and her son gives Fiona the creeps. But it will be worth it if Fiona can find out what happened to her sister. Little by little she pieces things together while diving into her sister's past life.

Some twists were a little predictable and others were surprising. But overall, I just really liked the story! I like this author's writing style and her ability to tell a captivating story is amazing. The tension started from the very first page and continued all the way until the end. I was fully invested - it was super hard to put this one down. Overall, I really well written thriller!

In I Know You Saw Her, Ann Girdharry delivers a gripping psychological thriller steeped in mystery and tension. When Fiona takes on a new identity to investigate the disappearance of her sister Amy, she finds herself drawn into the same eerie world Amy once inhabited—a boarding house full of unsettling characters and long-buried secrets.

The atmosphere is claustrophobic and chilling, with every creak of the floorboards and sideways glance hinting at something sinister. Girdharry masterfully unravels the mystery through Fiona’s determined search for answers, leading readers down a dark and twisty path of lies, obsession, and danger.

Tautly written and emotionally charged, I Know You Saw Her explores how far someone will go for the truth—and what it costs to uncover it. A must-read for fans of slow-burning thrillers with strong female leads and haunting revelations.

This was an intense thriller. The first half of the book was a page turner, with suspenseful twists.
I felt the second half was a little confusing.
This was an entertaining read, but some scenarios felt a bit far fetched. Frustrating characters got under my skin at times. Overall, a solid psychological thriller that was engaging.
Thank you to netgalley and Inkubator Books for the opportunity to read and review this book

As soon as I read the description I so hoped I'd get approved for this! Thank you for the ARC. This book is fast paced, and has a great twist. 5 star

Loneliness, guilt, and grief has the ability to materialize a type of strength and resiliency that was originally nonexistent. Fiona has a determined, sometimes irrational, drive to find out what happened to her sister. Plagued with regret and starved for love, Fiona will stop at nothing to find Amy. Her plan was simple, yet love, friendship, and mental illness creates unforeseen roadblocks in her quest. I Know You Saw Her was a really good read, and I was pleasantly surprised as I turned each page and accompanied Fiona on her quest through each dip and turn in the plot. I would recommend this read!

I can’t say enough good things about this book and to just pick one favorite would be too difficult! I loved the twists and turns! Read it, you won’t be disappointed!!

As a fan of thrillers, this one was very predictable to me. I was getting into it but after some time, I was able follow the storyline and knew what was going to next. the suspense that I was craving was lost.

Interesting intense to say the least I loved it so much chilling page turner you will not be disappointed thank you for this read

Gripping story about a missing sister, a creepy rented room and a burnng desire to find the truth.
Where nothing, and no one, is as they seem.

This one kept me guessing from the start right up till the end there's so many unexpected twists you won't see coming and the secrets that are uncovered will leave you speechless. I was completely hooked on this book and found it impossible to put down it's definitely a five star winner in my opinion.

📚MY REVIEW:

I Know You Saw Her was one of those suspenseful and tense thrillers where there's a pervasive sense of foreboding on every page. I read this unhinged psychological thriller in one sitting and loved every single minute of it!

Told in dual timelines from the dual POVs of sisters Fiona and Amy, this was one of those reads where you trust no one and feel as if everyone is just one spontaneous decision away from going completely off the rails.

Here's the gist: Five years ago, Fiona’s big sister Amy vanished without a trace. Determined to find out what happened to her, Fiona assumes a new identity and rents a room in the same boarding house where Amy once lived. And this place is creepy, with a capital C. The landlady speaks to people who aren’t there while her son Keith silently observes Fiona from the shadows. Little by little, Fiona starts to piece together the truth about the life her sister was living – and the web of secrets and lies in which Amy became entangled.

Reading the story from the POVs of Fiona in present time and Amy 5 years ago was brilliant! The alternating short chapters kept me on the edge of my seat as I tried to figure out which of the suspicious people in Amy's world had to do with her disappearance. It seemed like both Fiona AND Amy were surrounded by people who were manipulative (at best), gaslighters (at least), or potential killers (at worst).

While I do have to admit that I immediately guessed one of the twists and predicted another one too, there was still a huge twist that I DID NOT see coming. And it was THIS unexpected twist that made me love this book the most, because I don't think it's a common one.

I was REALLY close to calling this a 5⭐ read, and it was only the predictability of a couple twists that stopped it a little short for me. However, even guessing those twists couldn't stop me from flying through this suspenseful read and loving the wild ride!

You'll love this read if you love unhinged characters as much as I do, if you love wondering if someone is a gaslighter (or just weird), and if you love twisty stories that keep you guessing! I'm looking forward to more of this author's backlist -- and this one is available NOW!

This book was full of twists and turns and had my jaw dropping at every turn! This is a new to me author and it certainly won’t be the last book I read by her.

The mystery kept me on the edge of my seat and I just kept reading until I could figure out what was going on. I never saw the twists coming even though I was taking guesses throughout the entire book on who could possibly be the one at fault.

I will definitely be reading more from this author.

Fiona & her sister Amy were always close but when Amy moves away for university they drift apart until Amy suddenly goes missing one day & hasn't been seen or heard of since. Several years later, Fiona rents a room in the same house where Amy had been living & pretends to be a new student all so she can find out what happened to Amy.

The house is shabby & in bad repair & her landlady acts oddly at times. Meanwhile the landlady's son seems annoyed with Fiona for no reason & watches her silently. The only bright spots seem to be a tentative friendship with Amy's BFF, & a burgeoning relationship with her landlady's charming nephew, but someone has a secret they’ll do anything to protect.

This started off well but the twists quickly became far fetched & yet remained oddly predictable. Fiona, who was supposed to be there to investigate her sister's disappearance, saying she'll trust no-one, immediately falls for someone she hardly knows. She was difficult to warm to as a main character & I also felt that the ending was unsatisfactory. Overall this is a slightly disappointing thriller. 3.25 stars (rounded down)

My thanks to NetGalley & publisher, Inkubator Books, for the opportunity to read an ARC.

This was a creepy suspense novel that I raced through. Fiona is determined to find out what happened to her sister Amy who disappeared five years previously. When she assumes a new identity and takes a room in the boarding house where Amy lived, we're introduced to a cast of complex characters, all of whom are suspicious. This is a fast-paced, twisty thriller, packed with lies, romance and heart-stopping moments. I really enjoyed it.

Thank you to Ann Girdharry, Inkubator Books and Netgalley for my advance copy.
