Thanks to Netgalley and Random House for the ARC of this book.
Absolutely outstanding book from Lisa Gardner. So different to anything else I've read lately I just could not put it down. It's almost a shame that most of her books are stand alone as some of the characters almost beg for another story.
Thank you so much for writing this Lisa and look forward to your next book.

This latest read by Lisa Gardner is an excellent read and by far one of my most favourite so far. Frankie Elkin finds missing persons - the cold cases that the law have closed, having exhausted all lines of enquiry. She doesn’t get paid for this service, it seems to be a calling, something within her needs to occupy her restless mind and travelling the US to find people helps.

However, Frankie’s latest case involves female serial killer Kaylee Pierson, nicknamed “The Beautiful Butcher’ requesting that she find her long lost sister. Kaylee , now known by her native Hawaiian name Keahi, has her lawyer Victoria bring her to her death row prison to find her younger sister.It appears that her 5 year old sister was kidnapped over a decade ago in Hawaii, and the kidnapper is thought to be Pierson’s tech mogul ex-boyfriend, Sanders MacManus. It now comes to light that on a remote island in the middle of the Pacific—the site of MacManus’s latest tourist project that he will bring Leilani to visit.. With very little time before Keahi’s execution Frankie finds herself undercover on a remote atoll in the Pacific, in the hope that she can rescue the young woman from MacManus.
This is a fantastic, gut wrenching edge of your seat read that had me hooked from the beginning.

This cautionary tale about someone being employed by a serial killer on death row keeps the reader guessing right to the end as to who is in control. They end up in a remote island when things turn out not as they appear to be. Recommended.

I’ve not read a Lisa Gardner book before. I was surprised to see some of the negative reviews for this book. I will have to read some of her others that are said to be much better.

Frankie Elkin, is an expert at finding people. She’s hired by a female serial killer “the Beautiful Butcher” on death row to find her sister that was kidnapped a decade before. The main suspect was a millionaire tech mogul in Hawaii who happened to be the serial killers ex boyfriend. With a letter purporting to be from the sister and with time running out Frankie is enlisted to travel to the remote Hawaiian atoll where the mogul is building a new eco friendly resort to gather information on him and the missing girl.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4. This book was a real page turner for me. The remote Hawaiian atol and band of social rejects that make up the workers were vividly brought to life, it’s not surprising since both location and characters were inspired by real people the author met travelling the year before. A fast paced book with a few twists and enough drama to be an easy beach read. Thanks to @netgalley for the arc.

Lisa Gardner is another of my favourite authors and this is the second book I’ve read in the Frankie Elkin series.
Frankie is an expert in finding missing people. A recovering alcoholic, she has a better understanding than most of why some people don’t want to be found. When a brutal killer on death row asks for her help to find her missing sister Frankie has serious doubts about accepting the task, She eventually accepts but soon regrets her decision and ends up getting far more than she bargained for. Thrown in to a situation outside her comfort zone she struggles to decide who she can trust.
Lots of suspense, twists and turns along the way. Another brilliant book that had me hooked from start to finish.

Book three in Frankie Elkin series. I haven't read the previous two books but I really enjoyed this book. Very well written, great descriptions and characters in the book.

Lisa Gardner delivers another heart-pounding Frankie Elkin thriller in "Still See You Everywhere." This sequel throws Frankie into a unique challenge: finding a missing person on a secluded island far from Hawaii. The twist? The plea for help comes from a death row inmate with a mysterious past.

Gardner masterfully builds suspense as Frankie navigates unfamiliar territory, both geographically and personally. The island setting adds a claustrophobic tension, making it unclear who to trust and where danger might lurk.

Fans of the series will be thrilled to see Frankie's return, while newcomers can dive right into this fast-paced adventure.

This book was a page turner as you weren’t sure who was going to turn out to be the perpetrators of the things which went wrong and how the Beautiful Butcher would strike. The plot twists and turns as you work out who to trust and the story gets more complicated.
I found the ending a little disappointing but not sure how else it could have ended.

I loved this book. Its fast paced and lots of twists and turns which I love. You think you've worked the story out and then it twists again and I never saw anything coming.

Its well worth a read if you like 'Who Dunnits'.

I just reviewed Still See You Everywhere by Lisa Gardner. #StillSeeYouEverywhere #NetGalley

This is the first 'Frankie' book I've read and really enjoyed it. Fast pace, lots going on, plenty of twists, a tiny bit far fetched at times, but it didn't spoil the story line for me. I didn't want to put it down. Thoroughly recommended.

Thank you to #netgalley and the publishers for allowing me to read this. I thoroughly enjoyed it; it was well structured, fast paced and exciting. The setting - an atoll near Hawaii- was a great choice as it was one the writer could adapt to suit the story, whilst being exotic and interesting. I found myself irritated by the name “the Beautiful Butcher” as I don’t think it was realistic and by the speed that Frankie gains the trust of Vaughan. However, that was easy to overlook and I was keen to find out the fate of the characters. Leilani was a particularly interesting character. A good escapist novel.

I'd read the first in the series so was pleased to see another by Lisa Gardner and Still see you everywhere does not disappoint. Loved the story and all the characters from the first page onwards. A real page turner to keep you awake into the small hours.

Really exciting storyline of an inmate on death row inmate Kaylee Pierson (nicknamed the beautiful butcher) whose last wish is to get in touch with her sister Leilani who was kidnapped over 10 years ago and has a lead as to where she may be. She need's Frankie's help to find her and this takes Frankie over to a very small remote island hours from Hawaii where she must fit in and find out what has happened to her.

This was a really exciting thriller and gets a full 5 stars throughout.

I'll definitely be reading the previous book in this series very soon.

A big thanks to Random House UK, Cornerstone, Century for the e-Arc.

A new luxury resort is being developed on a beautiful remote island off the coast of Hawaii, the crew are left for weeks on end to fend for themselves, teamwork and trust are key.
Frankie is a self-confessed lone wolf from nowhere, her specialty hobby is finding missing people, her latest mission has brought her to this island on the word of a convicted murderer – what could go wrong?
I enjoyed this book immensely, it was fast paced, dramatic, had a lovely pinch of sarcasm and humour. The characters were pretty loveable, well the ones that didn’t kill people!
I was never quite sure what the next move was going to be, the ultimate page turner – Brilliant.

My Thoughts: this is the first Frankie Elkin book I’ve read, but luckily for me it made sense as a stand-alone

The book opens with one hell of a prologue, it does job of reeling you in and leaving you excited to find out more.

I found it a little slow going after Frankie was on the atoll, it was more about meeting the selection of characters and getting to know the island and its other inhabitants, the descriptions of the surroundings were beautiful and really made it easy to picture it in your mind whilst you were reading!

I really appreciated how the comradeship between certain characters throughout the book, some of them could be trusted from the outset whilst others took some warming up to, I’ll let you figure out who was who!

The real action didn’t really start until maybe the last 1/3 of the book, but it’s at that point that you realise just how many lies and secrets have been weaved into the story and then the book really had sunk its teeth into you.

Definitely one that is worth the read and not to be taken lightly.

This was a fabulous read, it gripped me from start to finish from action packed moment to moment. It was a different setting than I have usually read about and it added to the suspense and intrigue. I liked the characters (mostly) and loved as the plot came together an exceptional read.

Still See You Everywhere is, I believe the third in the series following the adventures of Frankie, an alcoholic managing by the skin of her teeth to stay sober whilst intent on following her 'hobby' of tracking down missing persons, but it works just as well as a standalone novel.
As is usual for Lisa Gardner this book is high on detail of the environment, which in this case is a remote atoll off Hawaii whose main inhabitants are less than friendly crabs. The characters are varied and colourful and the mystery has more twists and turns than you could shake a stick at. A great read!
My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for my copy.
