A rip roaring ride with suspense throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and feel there maybe a sequel coming - if so, then I'd love to read it. It's so refreshing to have a strong female fighter - it could so easily have been both parents, but I appreciate that the author chose to have a fierce female protagonist (actually, two fierce female protagonists). A thoroughly well deserved 5 stars

Gripping thriller, although felt a little disjointed - first part very different to the second part and also ended quite abruptly with many things unresolved.

I know where she is by SB Caves was an enjoyable read, was gripped by the start more so than the ending, not due to the pace as the end is fast and action packed. More so the exploring emotions of the characters. often read a new author to see what else is out there and with this one i would be happy to pick up the next book to enjoy

Francine’s daughter went missing leaving her parents devastated.

10 years later with no leads or clues Francine finds a note on her doorstep saying: ‘I know where she is’. Francine fines herself plunged into every mother’s nightmare in a race to save her daughter. To be fair to Francine I did come to believe that she had been preparing herself at least physically for this race and she stepped up to the mark when she needed to. Go Francine!

I cannot believe this is a debut novel as its brilliant. It takes you through the dark underbelly of society and leaves no holds barred. The story is horrid, explicit and terrifying. There has to be sequel – it just can’t be left hanging there I have to know what happens next.

Do yourself a favour lock the door, switch off your phone and be prepared for a rough ride of it.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for my free e-copy in return for my honest review; I loved this.

This is one of those books that hooks you from the very beginning. And holds onto you firmly. I didn't dare start it until I knew I could just sit and read it in one long fabulous read-a-thon. It was well worth it.
The story was strong (like the women) and the turns and turns enough to make you want to read faster, to see what happened next, and slower to savour it.

I found this book very hard to put down. The pace is good, the plot is good, I felt that some of the characters are hard to believe and that the extent of the conspiracy (Francine was warned that the police were in on the plot) is over the top, BUT it is still a damn good read!

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. S.B. Caves is certainly a new name to me in the mystery/thriller department but I do hope this is not his first and only book. The book intrigued me and pulled me in from the first few chapters and although it was a little slow to start it picked up and became a fast-paced read

Francine is a mother whose daughter had disappeared some years previously, unable to move on as she believes her daughter is still alive, she is a psychological mess. When a young girl turns up and says her daughter's alive, Francine really has no one to turn to as nobody believes the girl's story. What follows is a story of how Francine's inner strength propels her to keep digging and eventually find her and rescue her from a depraved group of men who capture and keep girls for sex and to have children to be sold. At times I have to admit I quite enjoyed the book, but I did find the plot to be slightly unbelievable and the ending was somehow underwhelming.

Great book, with interesting women characters - victims turned avengers

Honestly, this book wasn't what I was expecting at all. The blurb made me anticipate a thriller on a similar scale to the Borsch novels or something by Lee Child. However, what I found was a thinly woven tale based around conspiracy theories that just didn't really have any standing. The writing was bland at most and I didn't feel any particular connection to the characters. It was disappointing and I truly don't understand how the plot came to be what it is today.

As an avid fan of Karin Slaughter I was very keen to read this book but I have to say I was disappointed. It was a struggle to connect with the characters as the varying pace of the book at odd points made the characters unbelievable and forced. There were so many different ways this story could have gone but the rushed unnecessary violent ending left me annoyed and glad it was over. That said, I would read more from this author as everyone has their off days

A totally different kind of thriller than the usual ones I would read. Uncomfortable to read at times which also made it at little bit unrealistic too. However the story does have you gripped and is told in three parts. All parts just as good as the other. You can't help but feel sorry for Francine who lost her daughter 10 years previously. Excellent writing that has you gripped from start to finish.

The cover had me intrigued from the start. After reading the first few pages I was deeply absorbed into the story. It's one of those you want to read in one sitting. A mother's fight for her daughter is one of the strongest bonds and the author shows this between Francine and Autumn. The fight for survival against all odds is possible.

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.
