I KNOW SHE WAS THERE

COMING SOON: FALL 2024

 

The only witnesses to a shocking crime in the perfect neighborhood, a new mom is forced to solve a mystery that no one believes happened...

"With perhaps the world’s most unreliable narrator at its core, Jennifer Sadera’s debut psychological suspense I KNOW SHE WAS THERE will have readers questioning what seems to be the truth at every turn. “Twisty” doesn’t begin to describe this compelling and complicated story. Don’t even try to guess how this turns out – just put yourself in Sadera’s capable hands and enjoy the ride!"

 – Karen Dionne, author of the #1 international bestseller THE MARSH KING’S DAUGHTER and THE WICKED SISTER

"A knockout debut—sharp domestic suspense that combines taut prose with a complex, artfully crafted unreliable narrator, and plenty of twists and turns that readers won't see coming. I Know She Was There proves Jennifer Sadera is a voice to watch."

 – Elena Hartwell Taylor, bestselling author of the Eddie Shoes and Sheriff Bet Rivers Mystery series, including the upcoming A Cold, Cold World

"Jennifer Sadera’s intense debut about a troubled young mother on a passionate mission to discover the truth kept me awake all night! It’s a gut-wrenching and addictively readable thriller."

 – Bonnar Spring, author of Toward the Light (2020), Independent Publishers' bronze medal winner for Best First Novel New Hampshire Literary Awards -- People's Choice winner for fiction and Disappeared (2022) 'Best of 2022' from Bookreporter and Crime Fiction Lover

short fiction: 2023 Al Blanchard Award, 2024 Derringer

"Twisty and compelling, I KNOW SHE WAS THERE deftly explores how well we can truly know each other — or ourselves."

 – Tracy Sierra, author of Nightwatching

“In the world of thrillers, few conceits are more alluring than a ‘mostly harmless’ habit gone terribly awry. Such is the premise in Jennifer Sadera’s addictive I Know She Was There, where protagonist Caroline Case’s proclivity for sidewalk-spying on her wealthy neighbors turns into her own living nightmare. Sadera’s deeply psychological novel, echoing nicely to Rear Window, has Caroline guessing not only what she saw, but whether she saw it at all, and her struggle becomes ours through effective first-person narration. An impressive and thrilling debut…Sadera is an author to watch.”

 – Carter Wilson, USA Today bestselling author of The Father She Went to Find
