About this item
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner, a "frightening, full of twists, and completely satisfying" thriller in which Frankie Elkin must locate the long-lost sister of a serial killer (Karin Slaughter).
Five-year-old Leilani Pierson has been missing for over a decade. Amateur detective Frankie Elkin is an expert at finding missing persons. But this case has unusually high stakes. The request comes from Leilani’s sister Kaylee, a convicted serial killer weeks away from her execution date.
The main suspect in the kidnapping? Kaylee’s ex-boyfriend, a tech billionaire who has hidden himself away on a remote base camp near Hawaii.
Determined to find the missing girl–alive–Frankie embarks on a dangerous mission. Up against a ticking clock and an incoming tropical storm, will Frankie Elkin learn the truth and save Leilani before it’s too late?

She is so gifted with an amazing ability to weave a character's personality with clever and concise dialogue told in the 1st person. She doesn't dwell on the minutiae of describing every detail of a character's past to the point of boredom and ad nauseum. It keeps me wanting more. She weaves the story in such a way as to keep you guessing until the end. I find myself really caring about the characters and wanting to know the truth because with every Lisa Gardner book, the truth is not what it seems.
This last book with Frankie stretched the limits of credulity. The ending is nice. The inbetween is mildly boring. So many paths the story could have taken...
I'm of the mind that Lisa grew flummoxed with stories for Frankie and needed to bring her fans closure, in order to be allowed for Frankie to say goodbye. Or maybe the behind the scenes despair that the missing invoke took it's toll on our favorite author. Either way, thanks for introducing us.
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…
My Thoughts:
Just when I thought this missing person case couldn’t get anymore intense, I found that Still See You Everywhere took the reader down twisty pathways with unexpected and devastating turns along the way.
I enjoyed Frankie’s point of view and how she tackled each aspect of the job. But soon we learn that nothing is as we thought it would be, and our characters might be fighting for their very lives.
I did find the book almost too intense at times, and when we came to the end, we knew that many of them would not walk away from the disasters ahead. A 4-star read because I didn’t enjoy the journey.
