I decided to start this last night and finally finished at 3am!
I could not put it down.
The characters were realistic and the main character is likeable which is always the key to a good book.
I would definitely recommend buying this and once published will buy for my friend's birthday.

I just love this book! Although the beginning takes some time to take off, the rest of the book just fly through without you noticing. The time line is actually quite short, but the writer manages to pack it with loads of excitement. It's a tense, and gripping book. A compulsive read that has wonderful plot twists that leaves you breathless. There were times where I have to stop, as it gets too intense.
I would definitely recommend this book!

4.5 stars for I Know Where She Is by SB Caves.

I hate to think how I would have coped had one of my children been abducted. In the beginning I was judgmental of Francine, whose daughter Autumn was abducted some 10 years prior to the start of this book. Francine coped by becoming a functioning alcoholic who regularly consults psychics. Her husband Will coped by turning his daughter's disappearance into an industry.

Fast forward, and Francine receives a hand delivered note with only the words 'I KNOW WHERE SHE IS '.

And so begins an unpredictable, and at times improbable and unbelievable, but utterly riveting roller coaster ride as Francine follows her gut instinct to try to save her daughter. Is the note a cruel hoax, or does someone really know where her daughter is?

I Know Where She Is deserves to be made into a movie. I could see it all unfolding before me as I read.

Caves leaves me in no doubt that she is an author to be watched. Her writing is dynamic. Her characters are flawed, unpredictable and all too human; her descriptions of the settings so realistic I could picture myself there.

Don't be surprised if there is a sequel; the door has been left wide open for this to happen.

Thank you to Canelo via Netgalley for providing a digital copy of I Know Where She Is by SB Caves for review. All opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Firstly I found the start of this a bit slow. Over two days I was reading the odd pages. Then I sat this afternoon and thought I better give it a chance. I'm so glad I did. The pace picked up and apart from making dinner I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it.

At the beginning we meet Francine. Her life fell apart ten years ago when her daughter went missing. She struggles each day and the only thing keeping her going is hope- hope that her daughter Autumn is still alive. Francine ex husband is no help to her. I can understand his need to move on but I really did not like him.

Francines life changes when she finds a note hand delivered to her house saying 'I know where she is'. Francine is given hope by a stranger.

So I really don't want to give too much away. This was one of them kinda reads that if it was a movie I'd be watching it behind a cushion. You know the type where you wanna see what's gonna happen but your also afraid lol

If your looking for a really well written thriller then I certainly recommend this read. If like me you find it a tad slow at the beginning keep going as it's certainly worth it. Looking forward to reading more from this author. Maybe a book two? 4.5 stars

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishers, Canelo for this advance review copy in exchange for an honest review. Also thank you to Ellie Pilcher for allowing me to be part of the Book Blog Tour for this great book.

10 years ago Autumn went missing. Francine, Autumn’s mum, has been looking for her ever since. Whilst everyone else seems to be getting on with their lives and moving on, Francine has never been able to do that. She wants to know what happened to her daughter. The desperation in this leads to Francine becoming an alcoholic who visited psychics, hoping they could provide some answers. Her marriage to Autumn’s dad, Will has broken down and he is now living with someone else. One day, Francine receives a note simply saying “I Know Where She Is”. She has no idea who sent it or what it means, but she takes it to mean that Autumn is still alive. She takes the note to Will, but he dismisses it as a hoax. A mystery stranger, Lena then turns up and tells Francine that Autumn is still alive and she knows where she is!

Now, this may be difficult to review without giving too much of the plot away. It’s obvious that Autumn is still alive, but what isn’t obvious is why she was taken all those years ago. Lena tries to provide some of these answers to Francine, and whilst she believes her when she tries to include Will on what Lena has told her, he again dismisses it as lies and insinuates that Lena is a fraud. The story unfolds quickly with Francine starting her own investigation into what happened and what is still happening now. It’s not an easy subject matter with some descriptions of child abuse and child kidnapping, but it picks up a fast pace through to a great ending!

I feel for Francine in this book, she has obviously found it difficult to move on with her life like everyone else seems to have. Her ex-husband thinks she is a clingy, depressed alcoholic. He seems to be using his daughter’s disappearance for book signings and TV appearances, obviously generating an income from this. Whilst no one, unless they have been in this situation, would know how they would behave in this situation, you would like to think that they would hold out one little thread of hope that your daughter was still alive, even after all this time. Thankfully, Francine goes with her gut instinct and does what she needs to do to find her daughter!

An excellent roller coaster of emotions with some great twists and turns. Well recommended if you love a gritty psychological thriller! Five stars!

4.5 stars. Throughly enjoyed this psychological thriller. It had me hooked from the first page and I didn't want to put it down. Would definitely recommend this book.

We have Francine and Will very much in love they have a daughter Autumn who disappears. Will goes all out to keep Autumn in the publics thoughts he does Tv interviews he writes a book and turns to counselling people who have lost children. Whereas Francine turns to the bottle unable to cope with the loss she falls to pieces but all that's about to change coming up for the 10 year anniversary of her disappearance she finds a note saying I Know Where She Is it was written by Lena who tells Francine she's being held as was Lena until she escaped. Francine immediately contacts Will who doesn't want to know he has remarried and he doesn't believe what Lena is saying.... I like the way it's written it shows how a tragedy can effect everyone differently it also shows when there's hope we get strength from within.
There are some subjects which people make not like sadly this is a fact of life in this day and age, I think it has been tackled with care and respect while still getting the point across.
Would definitely recommend it.

Gripping and twisty throughout, kept me gripped from the word go. An absolute must read!
Definitely one of the best books of it's genre that I have read this year.

It has been ten years since Autumn was taken from the supermarket and she hasn't been seen since. Her mother, Francine, lives alone and drinks to hide her pain. Her father, Will, has a new wife and a baby on the way and has made a career out of his daughter's disappearance. One day, Francine receives a note from a strange girl; it says, simply, 'I know where she is'. Autumm has been renamed Mel. She lives in a house in the woods with other girls. They are used at parties. The girl is scared: the authorities know about it and she fears for her life. Will Francine ever get her daughter back? We're about to find out.

This is a dark thriller with themes of kidnap, violence and sexual abuse. The characterisation is brilliant. All the  characters are realistic and complicated and my feelings towards them xhanged throughout the book. At times, it made for uncomfortable reading because of the themes and because it is so well-written that it feels real. The suspense is held until the very end: there were times when I was holding my breath hoping for a particular outcome. At the end, it is left as though there could be a sequel and I hope there is, because I'd like to know what happens next. Definitely one to read if you like thrillers!

*Thanks to NetGalley and Canelo for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.* This novels starts with a bang and doesn't let up from there. It is a hard-hitting, fast-paced novel, that will have you guessing what is going to happen next. I will warn potentially squeamish readers that there are some relatively graphic scene in the book... but I just dealt with that by skim reading a few sentences here and there. It is not gratuitous and fits with the plot, as well as being important for establishing the characters and the setting, but I can be a bit soft. The book begins with Francine receiving an anonymous note that claims 'I KNOW WHERE SHE IS.' Francine's young daughter, Autumn, was kidnapped from a shopping centre a decade ago and hasn't been seen since. A failed marriage behind her and now a functioning alcoholic, Francine has never given up hope of finding her daughter alive. So begins her hunt for the truth of what really happened to Autumn.

Highly recommend this book, gripping debut thriller

I loved this book , I raced through it in less than a day ! I loved the strong women who really showed up the weak men . Francines daughter was kidnapped more than 10 years and she has never given up hope of finding her unlike her ex husband Will who has moved on with a new wife and baby on the way . Francine gets an annonymous note saying I know where she is this sets Francine on an exciting thrill of a ride as she delves deeper into what happened to her daughter . What an exciting read and I thoroughly enjoyed it , dare I hope it's been set up for a sequel
Thank you for the opportunity to read this

The introduction to this haunting novel left me enthralled for what lay ahead in what can only be described as a dark and troubling thriller based on a child kidnapping. It is every parents worst nightmare… the question is though, are Francine and Autumn reunited?!

Francine lives alone and drinks neat vodka as a form of coping mechanism which leads you to believe that she is a functioning alcoholic. She is obviously trying to suffocate the pain she feels inside from losing a child. Francine though is an admirable character. The extent she goes to, to try and find her daughter is painstakingly beautiful. She has been through a lot over the last ten years but she has always had hope in her heart which has kept her head above water during troubling times.

Francine receives a note through the door which she can only assume is regarding her missing daughter. Straight away her mind is drunkenly racing with possible scenarios of what this note could mean. She contacts her ex-husband – Will, who is reluctant to have anything to do with Francine anymore, but he agrees to meet with her when she mentions it is about Autumn… is Will going to be of any help to her though, or will he think she is crazy?!

I would love to write more about Autumn, the missing child, but I fear that I would give too much away by doing so. What I will say though is that she is a very strong character who has endured a lot since going missing. S. B. Caves imagination for her central characters is perfect, these could be real people she has created as they are all flawed just like every human.

What has been produced here is an exquisite novel which is easy to keep up with, exhilarating and takes you into a dark world which we all hope doesn’t truly exist. There are some tense moments which left my fingernails in a right state, and there were moments that left my heart breaking. The storyline would make a perfect film adaptation, and I think there is room for a possible sequel too (well I hope so anyway!).

Canelo Publishers and Netgalley amazingly provided me with an advanced e-copy of I Know Where She Is in return for my opinions. It is out to buy on the 14 August and I think it is definitely one you should give a read.

My final word: Chilling.

Exciting, fast-paced thriller. I loved the premise and the characters. It was action-packed and didn't have a dull moment. Can't wait for the next SB Caves book to come out!

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!

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 know where she is by s b caves.
On the tenth anniversary of her daughter Autumn's abduction, Francine receives an anonymous note containing just five words: I KNOW WHERE SHE ISWhen a young woman approaches her the next day claiming to have sent the letter Francine wants to dismiss it as a cruel, twisted joke.But the stranger knows things that only Autumn would know.It soon becomes clear that Francine must go to dark places in order to learn the truth about her child’s kidnapping.She will discover that danger comes from unexpected sources. 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.

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 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 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!!

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

This is one of my favourite reads this year by a mile. Hard reading at times but such a fantastic story. Huge 5 stars.

This book is absolutely brilliant. I didn't know what to expect when I downloaded this. It's heartbreaking in parts, especially how they where treated by their captors. It's the best psychological thriller I have read in a while, I would love to see this on the big screen. It would be an absolute brilliant film. The ending I thought went too quickly I would have liked for just a bit more. Thank you for the opportunity to read this book.

This book is a real page turner. The 5 word title gripped me from the beginning as it showed a glimmer of hope for one mother who's life had been almost destroyed by every parents worse nightmare - child abductiion. Ignoring the total denial of her ex husband she carries on alone to discover the truth of what did happen to their daughter who she has always believed is still alive. The descriptive text hooked me in to almost see, feel and hear the story unfolding, albeit at times some of the action became a little unbelievable. The final chapters did not bring a finale of happy ever after that most thrillers do but left me knowing there is more to come. Roll on the sequel!

This was a really gripping read, which completely drew me in. The story centres around the aftermath and destruction caused to a couple when their child is abducted. Seen through the eyes of Francine, it revolves round her attempt to find her missing daughter after she receives a cryptic note. Dismissed by her ex husband she goes after her daughter alone. Truly gripping.

SB Caves is on to a winner with his debut novel, a spine tingling thriller about every parents worst nightmare, it's about a young girl, Autumn and her mothers struggle to find her abducted daughter who went missing 10 years before and who she is convinced is still alive, even though every one else believes she is dead, and then one day she finds a note with 5 words on it, I know where she is. Once started I didn't want to put it down, it has a terrific pace and doesn't slow for a second. It's well worth a read.

I was gripped by this book before it even came out. I remember receiving an email from Canelo which featured a newspaper article and a short paragraph about a young girl being kidnapped and the 10th anniversary of her disappearance is slowly coming up. Immediately, I knew I wanted to get sucked up in to this book and was straight on the go for requesting it on NetGalley.

Whilst the first couple of chapters started off a little slowly, the book really began to pick up the pace and I found myself having to take little intervals to calm the nerves and stress it was causing me, because it was THAT GOOD!

We meet Francine, a mother who lost her daughter, Autumn, ten years ago. She struggles every single day of her life to accept her daughter's disappearance and move on with her life; the only thing giving her hope to live is believing that her daughter is still out there somewhere, just waiting to be found. Her ex-husband on the other hand, is ready to move on with his life. With his new wife and expected child, Francine can't help but feel that he doesn't want to get to the bottom of his daughter's disappearance and prefers his new family instead.

When Francine receives a note stating "I know where she is", the question "how far will you go for the ones you love?" becomes more serious than you could possibly imagine. No mother ever wants to go through the loss of a child, I'm not a mother myself, however, I can't imagine being put in this situation and it would completely devastate me the same way it did for Francine, I would most definitely not be able to cope if I ever lost a child. So when Francine is given the opportunity to get her daughter, back, she is willing to go all lengths and show strengths she didn't even realise she had.

This book took a turn that I was NOT expecting at all. The reason for Autumn's disappearance was absolutely sick and twisted, I found my head wanting to explode because of how angry the story-line was making me. (In a good way, because I wanted these girls to be safe). It's the roller-coaster journey of a lifetime and you will not expect the twist and turns that are about to be thrown your way. The book completely keeps you guessing and it's hard to put it down.

As I completed the book, I was pretty much speechless. I didn't know how to deal with the events that had just happened in the book and when a book makes you feel like that, then you've got a good one in your hands. I would absolutely love it if S.B. Caves brought out a sequel to this, as I feel like there's so much more that can be put in to this story and I just want to know the details of how life is going for everyone prior the disturbing scenes before them. I loved each character (excepted the ex-husband), as they all bought unique personalities to the story and being a fan of psychology, I loved trying to think why such things were happening and what caused these people to do what they did. Francine and Autumn were my favourites, they both portrayed feisty personalities, as they were both so head strong and determined in any type of situation. I really believe it's a purchase you will not regret!

This book draws you in from the start and builds up pace and suspense. If work hadn't got in the way, this would definitely have been a read-in-one-sitting kind of book! Very absorbing and a set of varying and not necessarily likeable characters - but for reasons that you understand. My mind is obviously accustomed to dark plots now as I was expecting a far more sinister outcome but can see that the door has been left open for a sequel. I really enjoyed this book but did find that the latter chapters were a little far-fetched for me, hence an overall 4.5* rather than 5* rating. But a rattling good read and one I'll be recommending

I Know Where She Is by SB Caves was a thriller about Lena who was trying to find her young daughter who had gone missing almost a decade before. I enjoyed this book, it was fast paced and I could not put it down and read it in one day. The subject matter is not for the faint hearted. I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

Really enjoyed reading this book - one of those you want to know what the next chapter brings. I really felt for Autumn's mother and then once Autumn was introduced into the book for her too.

This book really got under my skin! I was invested in the story from the word go - started at breakfast, unfortunately work got in the way but as soon as I got home I had to finish it -up till 2am!! Francine is a very real character - we see the effects losing her daughter had on her and how it has affected her life for the past 10 years. And when she gets a message saying "I know where she is", will anyone believe her? And will she get her daughter back? With current stories of widespread corporate child abuse nowadays nothing about this story couldn't happen, and yet it was so awful that reading it was like watching a horror film with my hands over my eyes. I had to know what happened, and yet I was afraid to. Brilliant suspense writing, showing the far reaching effects of a mother's love.

I'm going to skip to the end here and say that this better be the first book in at least a series of two, or I'm not going to be happy! It's left open as if it is, but that isn't to say that ''I Know Where She Is'' isn't complete - it is, don't panic! And it's good!

I was plunged right into the world of Francine, the alcohol-dependant mother of the lost/abducted Autumn who has been missing for 10 years. At first I was a bit unsure how it was going to play out with Francine rather than the police on the search for Autumn, but (despite the extraordinary luck she had) it worked pretty well. The lack of police involvement is explained quite believably, and though it does miss that authority involvement and discussion, I was always willing Francine to succeed.

The story is controlled well with the novel being split into three parts; the switch between the first two in particular being really successful in their joining and their ability to shock. The story did have echoes of relatively contemporary and despicable crimes though on a (hopefully) exaggerated scale; which in turn meant that the whole plotline was also believable.

The writing is fluent and it is an easy read which I managed to finish in a day. Oh I almost forgot to mention the fact that I didn't like Francine's ex-husband Will, I got a bad vibe from him for some reason!

Anyway, ''I Know Where She Is'' is a good, enjoyable story (which hopefully will lead to another). If you like a good crime thriller this is definitely worth a read.

I received a copy of this book from Canelo in return for an honest review.


The first thing that I noticed about this book was the front cover of the book. You can tell that it is a thriller and the name of the book pops out. The synopsis of the book was also very interesting to me and I had no idea how the book would go once I started reading it.


You meet Francine, Autumn’s mother, who has never given up on the search for her daughter despite it being 10 years. She arrives home to find a note on the floor which says “I know where she is”, there is no return address, name or contact details from whoever has left this note, but immediately, Francine knows this is about her daughter, and contacts her ex-husband about the discovery. However he writes off this discovery as the work of trolls and tells Francine he won't help.



Francine doesn't give up hoping to find her daughter and meets Lena a short while later who tells her about a girl called Mel. Francine is convinced Mel is her daughter and takes Lena in to find out all the information she can so that she can get back her daughter. There are however many obstacles as Lena isn't exactly mentally stable and she is alone as her ex-husband refuses to help.


We learn soon after what has happened to Autumn and why she was abducted and how she is still alive. I didn't expect the book to take this turn in the subject of what happened to her, but the book kept you on your toes switching in the parts of characters so you learn more about what is happening to them and their view points.


Overall, you're rooting for Francine to get her daughter back as you can see that she will do whatever it takes to get her back, even if it means killing people! The book ends with the whole family being reunited and Francine's plan for the future; even though she is reunited with Autumn, the danger isn't over and I could see the story possibly carrying on into another book. I'd recommend this book if you like thrillers!

When I picked up this book I had no idea I was about to be thrown head first into an action packed, utterly gripping, edge-of-your-seat ride. There’s no gentle introduction – right from the beginning this is high tension reading, with dramatic, explosive scenes coming one after the other at breakneck speed.

The book starts at the approach to the 10 year anniversary of Francine’s daughter’s disappearance. Francine is a mess – drinking to excess then overexercising to counteract the damage. Her fragility and brittleness transcends from the page, and with the help of her aloof, distant and exasperated ex husband, it’s unclear how reliable she is. When first the letter and then the strange and disturbing Lena appear, I had no idea if this was a trick, a desperate delusion or in fact real.

As Francine discovers more about Autumn’s disappearance and the intervening years, a sense of dread and horror settled over me. There’s some disturbing and upsetting themes covered, and I was physically shaken at some of the scenes. This book is pretty dark – more so than I originally anticipated. Yet there’s a sense of determination, unbreakable spirit and a fight for survival throughout, which had me gripped and praying for a positive resolution.

What I really liked about this book was the developement of Francine, from broken and unstable to quite frankly, kick ass. Yes, there’s quite a lot of suspension of belief needed here (for reasons I can’t really go into to avoid giving away spoilers) but the action scenes towards the end literally had me holding my breath. I thought I’d worked out another big secret, which I expected to be revealed at the end and was surprised when the book petered out much more quietly than I expected. I may have misread the hints, but it just felt slightly unfinished and could have done with a little more closure in my opinion. Overall though, this is a gut-punching, fast paced read which I couldn’t put down. I’d definitely read more by this author in future.

I am really pleased to be part of the blog tour for this book, as part of the Canelo tour. Firstly, I do love the unreliable narrator type of thriller books, which I assumed this was, but it is so much more. I did gender stereotype the author too, as I assumed that the writer was in fact a woman. The reason why I thought this was because of the main character, Francine. The best part of this book is her transformation. At the beginning of the book she is just how you imagine a mother with a missing child to be: broken, abusive and abusing, isolated, alone. By the end of the book she is so much more, and I assumed the writer was a woman because of the way he portrayed just what a mother will go through, inflict and endure to get her child back. This book is dark, and delicious . I loved it - 5 stars from me.  It's only 99p right now, so I would grab it while you can, and delve in.

I Know Where She Is was a brilliant and captivating read. A mother dealing with the grief and guilt of losing her daughter Autumn, Francine holds on to some glimmer go hope that she is still alive. Yet she wasn't prepared for an inconspicuous letter to lead her in pursuit of her daughter. Francine uncovers a web of child abuse that is deeply embedded within the higher echelons of society, muddying her hunt for Autumn.

A tale that should be filled with woe and sorrow, instead shows courage, determination and the strength of a mother's love.

I was instantly hooked and devoured it in one sitting. I would highly recommend this book!

Thanks to Canelo and Netgalley for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

Fantastic story full of unexpected twists and turns. This was an original storyline for me and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.

One day Francine and Will's little girl, Autumn, is kidnapped and taken to a house deep in the woods.

Fast-forward 10 years and Francine and Will are now divorced living separate lives when one day Francine receives a letter in the mail saying "I know where she is". A strange girl then turns up telling an unbelievable story on how Autumn, now known as Mel, is still alive and captive in a house with lots more girls. Could it really be true? Is her little girl still alive? Will doesn't believe her so Francine goes off on her own rescue mission.

What follows is a heartbreaking story of love and what a mother would do to find her child. I found the story fast-paced and tense. The writing was descriptive and put me on edge and I read this book in one sitting.

Many thanks to S.B.Caves, the publishers and Netgalley for an ARC of this book!

Wow! I was hooked from the first page of this book.
The story starts with a broken family whose daughter disappeared 10 years previously and becomes a thrilling,exciting discovery of crime and secrets. The characters and their actions were written so well - I could imagine them in my mind perfectly as if in a film.
I was disappointed when it ended!

From start to finish this book kept me gripped. A horrifying story of a child sex ring and a mother who would do anything to rescue her stolen daughter. So well written and descriptive you can almost feel you are in the book. Thanks for the great read.

I read a lot of books. I started this one late at night and it got into my head! I dreamt about it! Probably being a mother and knowing that I would do anything to get my children back! Well written and left open, I really enjoyed this.

I found this book to be gripping, a page turner that left me wanting more. The book is set in parts and part one tells of the pain and suffering of Francine a mum whose daughter went missing 10 years before. Her ex husband has moved on and remarried, but Francine just can't and drinks to numb her pain. Unexpectedly she gets a mysterious message saying I know where she is. Believing she is finally going to get her Autumn back she goes to show Will who isn't interested at all. Next comes Lena who tells Francine she has been living with Autumn in a big house in the woods held with lots of other kidnapped girls too. Part two gives you Autumn's side of the story. And then the last part tells what happens next. No spoilers just read for yourself you won't be disappointed.

Oh my goodness this was so NOT what I was expecting but in a good way so don’t worry! From the moment Francine got that anonymous letter through her letterbox, I was hooked! Do be warned that although this hard hitting thriller does contain scenes that some people may find upsetting, it will also hold you hostage to its powerful story of a mother determined to bring her daughter home.

And Francine is very much on her own in her quest to find out what happened to Autumn 10 years ago and whether or not that letter is another hoax. Her husband has moved on with his life, not believing or trusting his alcohol soaked ex wife and certainly not willing to go along with any of the propositions she has for a new search for their missing child. And although Francine isn’t the most reliable or likeable character at the start, she comes alive again when she realises there’s a real chance Autumn is still out there. Will, her ex husband, was an uninspiring figure and I knew straight away that Francine would be far better off without his support anyway.

This storyline would actually work really well as a film! It had a visual feel and a similar vibe to other action films I’ve seen recently-it actually reminded me of Taken at times with Francine as a female Liam Neeson! Her grit and determination shine through the narrative and I was behind her 100%, cheering her on every step of her journey to reclaim not just her daughters freedom but to take back her own life too.

Do be aware that this book cover themes of child abduction and abuse which some may feel is handled too deeply at times. There was one scene where I thought I might have to put the book aside for a bit as I found it hard to read, but the subject is handled so well in this authors hands that everything existing within the plot was needed to enhance the sheer horror of the situation. And once you find out more, you will begin to see how the full extent of the years of horrific abuse has shaped its victims.

This is a clever, fast paced and gripping thriller, brought to life by a truly outstanding lead character who never gives up. And I’m still feeling goosebumps after that final chapter!! A really creepy and intriguing ending that just surprised the hell out of me, keeping me on my toes till the final word of that final page. I can’t wait to see where S.B Caves goes from here with an imagination like that!

This book was brilliant, it had me hooked from the first page right through to the last page. The story line was great and it kept me interested. I read this book in one evening as I couldn't put it down. I wanted to keep reading, but didn't want it to end. I would definitely recommend this book

I Know Where She Is is the debut novel from S. B. Caves. I’d already taken part in one blog tour for a Canelo thriller this year so when I was asked if I’d like to take part in this one I jumped at the chance, and it didn’t disappoint. Now I have the slightly unenviable task of reviewing this wonderful book without spoiling it for any of you. The less you know going into this book the better, so apologies this review is short, but you’ll thank me once you’ve read the book and been able to experience each twist and turn for yourself.

I Know Where She Is tells the story of Francine, a mother still trying to deal with the kidnapping of her daughter many years ago. Francine is a character that grew on me as the story went on, I definitely felt sympathy for her from the beginning but it took a little while for the empathy to kick in, probably because I’m not a mother myself. Over the course of the book we’re introduced to a number of characters, who I won’t go into in any detail but include Will, Francine’s ex husband, and the author of the mysterious note.

There is no denying that I Know Where She Is is a dark and disturbing book, as we learn more about the kidnapping the book covers some difficult topics. It truly is a credit to S.B. Caves that in places this book was so hard to read, the writing creates a world so realistic I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d woken up this morning to read the story in the newspaper. At the same time he creates a suspense that keeps the reader turning pages, desperate to find out more, he kept me second guessing my opinions on all of the characters, were they good, should I be on their side? or are they actually involved in some way? I was genuinely questioning one character in particular right up until the last page.

Would I Recommend?

Yes! I Know Where She Is is a fantastic debut from S.B. Caves, it’s suspenseful, it’s dark, it deals with particularly current topics and it will keep you up wondering what’s going to happen in the end. If I have any issues with the book it’s that it ended where it did, you’ll understand when you get there! I just hope that S.B. Caves has a follow up in him!

If you decide to pick it up, which you should, please feel free to drop me a DM on Twitter or send me an email to let me know what you thought!

Wow one of those books i just couldnt put down, the story of a mothers search for her abducted daughter with plenty of excitement and action. Some references to the abuse suffered but not to descriptive which I found good. I hope there is another book to follow as I feel there should be more to come and questions that still need to be answered.

This was certainly a gripping read and one which was fast-paced and hard to put down. It's always intriguing when you are reading and wondering how on earth things can be resolved. At times some of the subject matter was uncomfortable. I'm not sure about how I feel about the ending and wonder whether there will be a sequel. Certainly a good psychological thriller, which keeps you thinking!

If you happened to watch The Missing then this is the book for you. It is written from two perspectives one the mother Francine who took her eyes off her little girl for a minute and she was gone. And also from the girls who have been taken.
The author of this fast paced novel almost makes you feel a part of the story and a mother's Instinct to never give up on her daughter
I simply couldn't put it down I read it in one long go because very chapter left you on the edge of a cliff (metaphorically speaking) and I needed to know what was going to happen next
I only hope the author is writing a second book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book really well written and a good story line. This book didn't disappoint, it was gritty and full of twists and turns that kept me turning the pages and wanting more. I had a real job putting this one down. A solid 5 star read.
