What She Saw

A gripping psychological thriller with a shocking twist

She watched a killer hunt. The people she trusted were hiding everything.

I haven’t left my apartment in two years.

Not since the night I watched my best friend get attacked—and no one believed me.
Not since the police dismissed my testimony because I’d been drinking.
Not since Claire disappeared from my life, and I blamed myself for not saving her.

Now I watch the world through a webcam feed of the Gullhaven Boardwalk. It’s safer this way. Predictable. I catalog the regulars—Jogger Jim, Bench Betty, Phone Guy. I know their patterns. I understand their routines.

Then she appears.

A woman exhibiting behavior I’ve never seen before. Erratic movements. Responding to invisible instructions. Terror written across her body as she backs away from empty space.

By morning, she’s been reported missing from the Gullhaven Grand Hotel.

I should let it go.

Everyone tells me I’m unreliable. My therapist says I’m projecting trauma from Claire’s attack. The detective says I’m seeing patterns that don’t exist. But I’m a data analyst—pattern recognition is what I do.

And the pattern is undeniable.

More victims appear on my webcam, all performing the same terrifying choreography before vanishing toward the beach. The hotel’s night manager gives suspiciously identical statements. Evidence corrupts itself on my devices. My therapist pushes stronger medication to “help with my paranoid thinking.”

The people who should be helping me solve this case seem determined to make me doubt my own sanity.

But what if my instincts are right?
What if the two people I trust the most—the therapist and the detective—are the very ones I should fear?

I’ve spent two years being told I’m unreliable.

Now I’m going to prove everyone wrong.

Or die trying.

Solid story

So aside from the AI reading, which is not ideal, once you get used to it the story is really clever. Definitely need suspension of disbelief, but a solid thriller. I have actually listened to several of Shaw’s books and I highly recommend them. They kept me interested and they were creative and clever. Looks like an independent publisher so please support this author and don’t go on about using AI to narrate because everyone doesn’t have money to hire a narrator

I really dislike the AI voice

The story is not bad, but the AI voice really misses the mark.
The Voice doesn’t emphasize the right words in sentences can sound confusing
