When They Find Me

A cabin off the beaten path in Expanse, Colorado, where people only use first names and no one asks questions. An incoming snowstorm. A clash of memories from a time before, when they all lived happily as a family. A wounded family intent on revenge. Wilson doesn’t take his foot off the pedal for a single moment in this thought-provoking and thrilling tale of desperate people who are on the run and lonely. Annie has done everything to protect her daughter, Coral, including homeschooling and having security cameras, no phone, and a safe room. But none of that matters when the bad people on the hunt are outside her door. Alternating timelines allow readers to build their story one clue at a time, and set up the characters’ mindset when Annie and Coral’s bubble of anonymity and protection is broken. Parental abuse, brainwashing, survivalism, and mental illness are treated seriously in the plot without weighing the tale or action down. The author’s playlist, a map, and illustrations provide excellent bonus content. When They Find Me is both a locked-cabin mystery and a psychological thriller that deeply examines the role of violence and cruelty that results in dizzying acts of revenge—with finesse.—Dodie Ownes
