Description
Five years ago, Rosa walked to the pier in the dead of night, looked into the swirling water, and jumped. She was a brilliant Cambridge student who had just lost her father. Her death was tragic, but not unexpected.
Was that what really happened?
The coroner says it was suicide. But Rosa's boyfriend Jar can't let go. He sees Rosa everywhere - a face on the train, a figure on the cliff. He is obsessed with proving that she is still alive. And then he gets an email.
Find me, Jar. Find me, before they do...

Reviews / Votes
Intricately woven and heart-stoppingly believable, this has bestseller written all over it -- Clare Mackintosh The most ingenious thriller you will read his year. I couldn't put it down -- MJ Arlidge An intricate puzzle of a thriller... Simultaneously romantic and horrifying' -- Lucie Whitehouse Interesting and fresh approach to a psychological thriller because it is also a tender love story... The twists and turns mean you really are still in the dark almost right to the end' * Strange Alliances * An intriguing novel, lots of twists and turns and a dark underbelly * Frost Magazine * You have to work quite hard at this multi-layered break-out thriller, it features several timelines and narratives, but stick with it and you will be rewarded with intelligent writing, original and disturbing ideas and a tightly coiled and crafted plot * Daily Mail * The best book of the year for me so far... I'd recommend it to anyone who wants some intelligent and slightly different escapism with digestible language and a lack of flowery prose in the descriptions. It's a novel for people who want a bit more and it performs on every level' * Nudge Book * A highly convoluted and skilfully told story with many twists and turns and apparent reversals of narrative * Promoting Crime * An entertaining page-turner * Irish Times. * Monroe effortlessly switches gear from spy thriller to psychological thriller... the two stories are intriguing, complex and equally plausible... Shocking and absorbing' * Out and About magazine. * A gripping, unpredictable read. Monroe has managed to write a very clever, claustrophobic book where you genuinely don't know who, apart from Jar, you can trust * Go Buy the Book * A thrilling read * Woman Reads Books * Has everything that a good suspense thriller should have and the writing is amazing' * Rambling Lisa's Book Reviews * [A] richly textured, wholly absorbing and multi-layered thriller where nothing is quite what it initially seems... Find Me is a taut, tense and heart-stopping read that will shock, delight and entertain... Should not be missed!' * Bookish Jottings *More details
