Last Time We Saw Her By Jaclyn Goldis

Some secrets don’t stay buried. They wash back ashore, glinting like gold in the sand.

“A fun, dark, and twisty novel. I tore through it, eager to see who was playing who in a clever cat and mouse game.” —Jessie Garcia, author of The Business Trip

Ten years ago, a group of American teenage summer campers traveled to a lush, isolated island in the Azores for a hiking and heritage trip. Then a clue to a local legend of buried treasure surfaced—and the summer spiraled into a frenzied hunt that ended in the disappearance, and rumored murder, of golden “it girl” camper Sydney. She was never seen again. The treasure was never found.

Now, a decade later, her closest circle returns to honor her memory: her sister Olivia, a tight knot of childhood camp friends, and their beloved counselors. They’ve all agreed to participate in a documentary digging into what really happened that summer.

But not everyone came back with innocent motives. As the cameras roll and old hints resurrect the tantalizing treasure hunt, the group begins to implode. Feuds reignite. And then one of them turns up dead.

Which means a murderer has surfaced… again.

From the critically acclaimed author of The Chateau, this is the kind of clever, sun-drenched, slow-burn thriller you’ll want to devour in a single sitting. Crater lakes, steaming hot springs, buried gold, and a circle of friends who all have something to hide.

Perfect for a foggy afternoon by the cove, when the sea air rolls in and you’ve got nowhere to be but lost in these pages. Grab a copy, find a cozy corner, and settle in. We think you’ll lose track of time.
