No One Saw Her Go: Thrilling and addictive psychological suspense

Zoey Montgomery, a criminology student, accepts a summer job at Camp Medley, the same place her aunt Heather vanished from over thirty years ago. Hoping to uncover the truth about her aunt’s disappearance, Zoey begins to investigate the camp’s dark history. As more missing girls and eerie patterns emerge, she starts to question her own sanity. The deeper she digs, the more dangerous her search becomes, leading her to a chilling discovery that changes everything. This book is all about family secrets and the truths that have been buried and it’s exactly as dark and twisty as that sounds. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I looooove a good missing person thriller. No One Saw Her Go by Sally Royer-Derr delivered all the suspense I crave, but added something even better: a chilling summer camp setting, a decades-old disappearance, and a determined main character who refuses to let the past stay buried. I also appreciated that this was a super quick read and it pulled me in fast and didn’t let go, with short chapters, eerie flashbacks, and just enough twists to keep me flipping pages. If you love thrillers with creepy atmospheres, unreliable characters, and long-buried truths clawing their way to the surface, you’ll want to pick this one up. I received an advanced copy of this book and am leaving this review voluntarily. No One Saw Her Go publishes on August 1, 2025.

Zoey Montgomery’s aunt, Heather, disappeared from Camp Medley 35 years ago. Zoey, a criminology student, takes a summer job as a counselor at the camp to investigate her aunt’s disappearance and to try to provide answers for her heartbroken mother. The book follows her search for answers while raising questions about Heather’s fate and Zoey’s own safety. The plot includes elements such as murder, mystery, and intrigue, with multiple character developments and unexpected turns throughout. I was drawn in by the first chapter and was franticly flipping pages to find out what happened next.
