Catch You Later

A Novel

De: Jessica Strawser

Narrado por: Erin Mallon

One impulsive decision changes the lives of two best friends forever in a powerful novel of suspense by the USA Today bestselling author of The Last Caretaker.

If Lark and Mikki didn’t have each other, they’d have nothing in this miserable town. So the best friends stick together, working night shift at the highway travel stop, going nowhere fast. Until a stranger drops in, heading for Florida, and Mikki impulsively leaves with him, never to be seen again.

Eight years later, Lark is finally getting her life back together for the sake of her young daughter and Mikki’s lovably prickly grandma, who can no longer care for herself. People have almost stopped blaming Lark for Mikki’s disappearance, and she’s engaged to the nicest guy on highway patrol. But when the stranger who drove off with Mikki reappears looking for her, nobody knows what to believe.

As the search reignites, Lark fights to find out whether Mikki is really missing or doesn’t want to be found. But piecing together the chain of events set into motion that fateful night could threaten everything—and everyone—Lark has left.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Strawser increases tension by telling both stories propulsively, leading readers hanging from one chapter to the next…Readers will flock to this fresh take on the missing-girl trope.”—Booklist (starred review)

“Where did Mikki go? That’s the central question of this tightly plotted psychological suspense. Jessica Strawser deftly explores female friendships, the ties that bind you to the place you’re from, and the things that can pull you away from everything—and everyone—you know. Along with trying to solve the mystery at the heart of this fantastic read, I found myself wondering whether I’d make the same choices, which is what all the best novels do. Pick this one up. You won’t regret it.”—Catherine Mack, USA Today bestselling author of Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies

“A powerful story about the bonds of friendships and the lengths we’d go to protect the people we love, Catch You Later is full of emotion and nail-biting suspense, propelling you to keep turning pages until the very last word.”—Lyn Liao Butler, Amazon bestselling author of Someone Else’s Life

Sweet

This was a great book and audio. The narrator did a fantastic job. Sweet story that keeps you wanting to know more.

Good story, poor reading performance

The reading was done in a cadence-like delivery. same into action patterns over and over. The story was very good, but the reading was distracting and irritating.

Engaging and warm

This story had me captured from page one, I had to know what happened from chapter to chapter. The characters were made real. I was especially drawn in by the friendship of Micki and Lark.

Great book!

I've never heard from this Author before. the book was fantastic
had me gripping for more right from the first chapter! enjoyable on the level of Frieda McFadden type books. Just awesome.

Absolutely everything I wanted it to be!

What a great book. From the moment it started all the way to the end, it was captivating and I caught myself daydreaming about it when I had to put it down. All loose ends were wrapped up and it was just a great story of friendship and perseverance. Loved it.

Good story

I liked how the story unfolded a little at a time. Things didn’t come together until the very end. I also loved that romance wasn’t the whole point. Good listen.

I couldn't stop listening!

The characters were very well written. I was 100% invested in the story and just had to know what happened.

better as a short story

The story was too long. I fast Forwarded through a large amount of the story and didn't lose anything. The end was unexpected and good.

Excellent

The story was wonderful with a lot of good life lessons. I really appreciated that the author didn’t go for the easy romantic conclusion.

Kept me Guessing

This book kept me guessing and on the “edge of my seat.” This was my first read of this author’s work. I like her style of writing and will look for more of her books.
