Two sisters. One life. A deadly secret.
Five years ago, Fiona’s sister Amy vanished without a trace.
Determined to find out what happened to her beloved sibling, Fiona assumes a new identity and rents a room in the boarding house where Amy once lived.
It’s an eerie place. The landlady speaks to people who aren’t there while her son Keith silently observes Fiona from the shadows.
Little by little, Fiona pieces together the truth about the life her sister was living–and the web of secrets and lies in which Amy became entangled.
Then Fiona realizes she is putting herself in grave danger, because someone close has a secret they’ll do anything to protect.
But she has to know the truth. She’ll follow in her sister’s footsteps–even if they lead her to a place darker and more terrifying than anything she could ever have imagined.
Five years ago, Fiona’s sister Amy disappeared without a trace. With her parents dead, Fiona investigates by renting a room in the boarding house where she lived while attending college. The home belongs to Mrs. Meecham and her special-needs son, Keith. From the outset, Anne Girdharry pulls the listener in as Fiona discovers a photograph of a green-eyed child in Mrs. Meecham’s living room that could have been her own sister-but that is impossible.
The tale that unfolded was atmospheric and started with Mrs. Meecham talking about her dead daughter as if she were about to come home from school, and how Keith stared at Fiona. Fiona reaches out to Sarah. She was Amy’s friend in college and now works there. We meet Harry, Mrs. Meecham’s nephew, and learn that his father went missing around the same time as Amy.
The author gives us flashbacks, and strange things happen in the boarding house as Fiona digs deeper. She also begins seeing Harry, whom she isn’t sure she can trust. Twists and turns kept me listening as the suspense built until the pieces all slipped into place and the danger escalated.
If you are looking for an engaging, atmospheric thriller, I recommend listening to I Know You Saw Her. Sophie Roberts does a splendid job capturing the tone and voices of the characters. She enhanced my overall enjoyment of the story.
