An instant New York Times bestseller!
My name is Frankie Elkin, and finding missing people is what I do.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner comes a harrowing locked-room style thriller set on a remote island. Frankie Elkin is an expert at finding missing people, but not even she could have anticipated this latest request—to locate the long-lost sister of a female serial killer facing execution in three weeks’ time.
"The very definition of the word unputdownable." -- Tess Gerritsen
Frankie Elkin is an expert at finding the missing persons that the rest of the world has forgotten, but even she couldn’t have anticipated this latest request—to locate the long-lost sister of a female serial killer facing execution in three weeks’ time.
She has called herself "death," but people called her the devil.
The case was sensational. Kaylee Pierson had confessed from the very beginning, waived all appeals. Despite the media’s chronicling of her tragic circumstances—the childhood spent with a violent father—no one could find sympathy for “the Beautiful Butcher” who had led eighteen men home from bars before viciously slitting their throats.
Now, with only twenty-one days left to live, Pierson has finally received a lead on the whereabouts of the sister who was kidnapped over a decade ago, and she needs Frankie’s help to find her. The Beautiful Butcher’s offer:
When was the last time your search ended with finding the living?
Unable to resist the chance for a rescue, Frankie takes on Pierson’s request. Twelve years ago, five-year-old Leilani went missing in Hawaii. The main suspect? Pierson’s tech mogul ex-boyfriend, Sanders MacManus. Now, on a remote island in the middle of the Pacific—the site of MacManus’s latest vanity project—fresh evidence has appeared. In order to learn the truth and possibly save a young woman’s life, Frankie must go undercover at the isolated base camp. Her challenge: A dozen strangers. Countless dangerous secrets. Zero means of calling for help. And then the storm rolls in…

Searching for the kidnapped sister of a death row inmate, an investigator must face her own demons in this intense and fast-paced thriller. When confessed murderer Kaylee Pierson—a.k.a. the Beautiful Butcher—receives word about new evidence in the long-ago disappearance of her baby sister, Leilani, she reaches out to missing-persons expert Frankie Elkin to find out what really happened. With only three weeks before Pierson’s execution, Elkin’s search for the truth takes her to a remote Hawaiian resort where everyone has their own version of the truth. Author Lisa Gardner excels at character-driven thrillers, peeling back each suspect’s history to reveal their dark core. With her unparalleled mastery of plot twists, she forces her tortured series protagonist Elkin to confront her own past as she takes on the tragic family drama at the heart of this gripping thriller. Still See You Everywhere took us to the dark side of paradise and somehow made it so we didn’t want to leave.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Gardner's far-fetched third outing for Frankie Elkin (after A Step Too Far) sees the amateur investigator and recovering alcoholic tracking down the sister of a notorious death row inmate. Frankie, who's made an "unusual hobby" of reopening cold missing persons cases, can hardly believe it when she receives an inquiry from Kaylee Pierson. Dubbed the "Beautiful Butcher" by the press, Pierson admitted to killing 18 men more than a decade ago after luring them home from nights out. Now, weeks before her execution, she wants Frankie to track down her younger sister, Leilani, who vanished 12 years ago at age five. Pierson believes that her tech mogul ex-boyfriend, Sanders MacManus, kidnapped the girl, so Frankie heads to the private Hawaiian atoll where MacManus is constructing an eco-friendly resort. There, she goes undercover to befriend people close to MacManus, but the more she learns about him and Leilani, the less sure she becomes about who's pulling the strings—or why she was sent to Hawaii in the first place. The convoluted plot takes too long to get moving, and when it does, Gardner generates more head-scratching questions than gratifying answers. Readers willing to suspend their disbelief will be treated to some pulpy action and armchair tourism, but for the most part, this misses the mark.

I couldn’t put this book down and my eyes burn from reading too long on my iPhone but it was definitely worth the headache.
