Nobody Knows You're Here: A Psychological Suspense Thriller

By Bryn Greenwood

A desperate woman fights to escape captivity in this gripping thriller from the New York Times-bestselling author of All the Ugly and Wonderful Things.

Beatrice is about to lose everything when a kind stranger offers her a cup of coffee and a job. It seems like a promise of a better life . . . until she wakes up under lock and key in an isolated mansion in the woods.

On orders from a shadowy criminal organization, armed jailers make the rules for their captives, enforcing them with unflinching violence. Beatrice has always been a "nice girl," but that won't save her now. Nobody helped her when she lost her job, her car, and her home, and nobody's coming to give back her freedom. The only person she can rely on is herself. And now, several child hostages are relying on her too.

When the situation gets more dire--deadly even--Beatrice has to become the hero she and her fellow prisoners need. To escape she'll have to outsmart her captors and do terrible things that would horrify her former self. If she succeeds, there's no telling who she'll be when the ordeal comes to an end.

This book surprised me. Honestly, I quickly threw this one on in the car bc I needed a new audiobook so I went into it not even knowing the synopsis. I feel like this book has an identity crisis though...is it thriller? Romantic suspense? Dark? I'm not sure how to label it but it's definitely a more gruesome read than my typical choices. At first I had no idea where the book was going. If anything, this book showed me that trafficking, while it may seem far fetched, can happen to anyone. Without giving much away, Beatrice was down on her luck and was given some help and BOOM. She wakes up in a mansion and is basically doneso. This book shows how a simple act of kindness can be a trap, which is a bit disappointing because the world needs more kindness, but you can’t trust anyone.

⭐⭐⭐ I liked it. There were parts that dragged on a bit and I felt they didn't add much, if anything, to the story. Overall, I don't regret reading it. 3/5 stars

I have no words for this book. I definitely couldn't have lasted as long as Beatrice.

I'll just say it had really tough and dark content but also even for fiction accurately depicts certain facets of human trafficking. I had to know how it ended so I binged it. I would say if you are sensitive to or a survivor of violence that it could be challenging. I would definitely read the author again.
