They Only Found Her - by Emy McGuire (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Laura Dave meets Succession in this riveting, dual-timeline suspense novel about a Gatsbyesque family who goes missing and the podcaster determined to find them.

Few people know the Delamores. But everyone's heard of the parties.

When the five Delamores vanish from their own island party, the police find only one: reclusive heiress Aphrodite. In the aftermath of the disappearances and Aphrodite's mysterious return, the world is captivated. But to podcaster Maddie Pokersnik, the investigation is more than just usual true crime fodder: it's a chance to finally address her heartbreaking past.

Invited to spend a weekend on Delamore Isle, Maddie and her brother Kit are determined to unravel the many secrets of the reclusive heiress. And one of those secrets happens to be Jamie Delamore, Aphrodite's young missing husband--and the love of Maddie's life.

As Maddie is plunged into a glittering world of excess and unchecked power, she uncovers the long-buried truth behind the lengths a person will go for survival...and the price she'll pay for finding it.

Review Quotes

"Absolutely irresistible, They Only Found Her is propulsive, sharp, and gripping. McGuire has cemented herself as a suspense star; I inhaled this novel in a single day. Fans of Ready or Not and Succession will be immensely satisfied with this confident, engaging exploration of wealth and deceit."
--Saratoga Schaefer, USA TODAY bestselling author of Trad Wife

"A family disappears. One woman is found. They Only Found Her takes that premise and turns it into something far more psychologically charged than it first appears. With clean, confident prose, Emy McGuire is fully in command here, building tension through shifting perspectives and withheld truths until nothing ever feels fully stable. Dark, intimate, and deeply unsettling. This is my kind of thriller."
--Carter Wilson, USA TODAY bestselling author of Tell Me What You Did

"Deliciously creepy and disturbing. They Only Found Her is a masterpiece. I have found a new auto-buy author in Emy McGuire. Her novels are full of atmospheric dread, sinister secrets, and dark motives--everything I love in a thriller."
--Jennifer van der Kleut, author of The Better Mother
