    About this audiobook


    ""Blade-sharp, whip-smart, and genuinely original — a thriller to refresh your faith in the genre, your belief that a story can still outpace and outsmart you.""— A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in The Window

    ""Clever and surprising...The superb character-driven plot delivers an astonishing, believable jolt.""—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

    ""Deserves two big thumbs up. Readers will be gripped by this astonishing story in which one gasp-inducing twist follows on the heels of another. A unique page-turner that just begs to be turned into a movie."" —Booklist (starred review)

    ""Sly, sinister...a white-knuckled read. There are gasp-worthy surprises, of course, and the exquisite and lurid twists will reveal themselves in time.""--Vanity Fair

    A smart, witty, crackling novel of psychological suspense in which a girl from a hardscrabble small town meets a gorgeous Instagram influencer from the big city, with a murderous twist that will shock even the most savvy reader.

    On a beautiful October morning in rural Maine, a homicide investigator from the state police pulls into the hard-luck town of Copper Falls. The local junkyard is burning, and the town pariah Lizzie Oullette is dead—with her husband, Dwayne, nowhere to be found. As scandal ripples through the community, Detective Ian Bird’s inquiries unexpectedly lead him away from small-town Maine to a swank city townhouse several hours south. Adrienne Richards, blonde and fabulous social media influencer and wife of a disgraced billionaire, had been renting Lizzie’s tiny lake house as a country getaway…even though Copper Falls is anything but a resort town.

    As Adrienne’s connection to the case becomes clear, so too does her connection to Lizzie, who narrates their story from beyond the grave. Each woman is desperately lonely in her own way, and they navigate a relationship that cuts across class boundaries: transactional, complicated, and, finally, deadly. A Gone Girl for the gig economy, this is a story of privilege, identity, and cunning, as two devious women from opposite worlds discover the dangers of coveting someone else’s life.

     ""Both amusingly satirical and darkly bloody.""—The Washington Post

    • 5/5
      In a book filled with people no one will miss if they are gone, a local woman is found dead in a small-town. At the same time, a fire is set in a local junkyard. The police have their hands full and local authorities call in the state police. Suspects center on Lizzie’s husband who has disappeared and a wealthy Boston woman who has had an affair with the husband. You think you know where this book is going, but you don’t. With characters deeply developed and a variety of disliked people, the story makes for one of the best psychological thrillers of the year. And the ending is a real surprise. The audio version is told from the view of multiple characters and includes a different narrator for each voice. Hearing the variety of voices makes following the storyline so much easier.
    • 4/5
      This book is definitely one I haven't forgotten even writing up my thoughts a few months later. It starts off with a gruesome discovery - and then the investigation into what happened goes from there. The story started off a bit slowly for me but trust me on this and stick with it. There comes a point in this book where things change and the book really takes off from there. I'm trying to be as vague as possible because I don't want to spoil anything. After that point, this book became one of those books that I just couldn't set down. I HAD to know how it was all going to end. I'm honestly surprised that I haven't heard more readers talking about this book because it was really good. It has characters that you might not necessarily like but I found myself still rooting for. I can't explain more than that because again spoilers - suffice it to say that I found this to be a really solid four star read and I plan on reading more by this author in the future.

      Readers who enjoy suspenseful reads, darker mysteries, and those readers who just want an unexpected thriller should pick this book up.

      “People see what they want to see,” could be the overarching theme of Kat Rosenfield’s No One Will Miss Her. When a mutilated body is found in a small Maine town, all assume that it must be that of Lizzie Ouellette, a pariah in the community. Her husband is the obvious suspect since he is unaccounted for. State Trooper Ian Bird is dispatched to gather evidence and lead the search for the missing culprit. What he discovers runs deeper than a standard “open and shut” case. More bodies are found that are linked to two couples of vastly different social standing. Rosenfield uses this familiar frame to explore identity and the irreversible judgements people make when someone is labelled. The book presents the downfall of being constantly observed and scrutinized, versus being invisible and disregarded. It also touches on themes of stereotypes, loneliness and self-protection through embraced callousness. No One Will Miss Her is an unpredictable and twisty mystery that requires a good amount of suspension of disbelief. When the author veers away from plausibility, it can be excused due to the fascinating puzzle it presents.

      Thanks to the author, William Morrow and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.
    • 5/5
      Lizzie Ouellette is trailer trash. Not because of anything she did; just because her father is not a Copper Falls, Maine native and because she lived in a trailer in the junk yard her father owned. Once labeled, you can’t get unlabeled. She got pregnant by small town has-been baseball hero, Dwayne, married him, lost the baby but the couple still hung on. Too what, Lizzie’s not sure.

      Along comes the beautiful and sophisticated internet influencer, Adrienne Richmond and her husband Ethan to rent Lizzie’s lakeside cottage for a month in the summer. While Lizzie is known as trailer trash, Adrienne is known as trash of a different sort. Although the authorities couldn’t prove it, it was known Ethan (possibly with Adrienne’s help) embezzled millions from his company, causing many a hard-working family to lose their savings. Yet, Adrienne, too, stayed with her husband, leading a luxurious, but lonely life.

      The two women, one high class and one low class develop a bond that first summer, which is strengthened the following year when Adrienne returns to the cottage. Adrienne is what Lizzie aspires to.

      It all comes crashing down when the Ouellette junkyard catches fire and the wind starts spreading the flames. Copper Falls Police Officer Johnson goes house to house making sure all occupants evacuate. But when he gets to Lizzie’s rental property, he is stopped short by a body with its face blown off lying on the floor. The only way to identify the body is the mole on her breast, which apparently all the men in town know about! It’s Lizzie.

      Dwayne and his shotgun are nowhere to be found and thus he becomes the prime suspect.

      Maine State Trooper Ian Bird is called in to investigate and while Dwayne still appears to be the perpetrator, Bird must follow all leads, even those leading back to Adrienne. But what motive could she possibly have?

      As with Amelia Anne, the setting is a small New England town where everyone knows everyone else’s business and newcomers and strangers are barely tolerated but never welcomed. Again, she explores the dynamics of a small, insular town with a large, wealthy summer population.

      The story unfolds through a first-person narrative from Lizzie beyond the grave, as well as third person narratives from Officer Bird, Adrienne and others.

      The book has received several starred reviews and one reviewer called it “…grisly, gut-twisting blockbuster of a mystery.” Part police procedural, part psychological study, Now One Will Miss Her does have a lot of twists and turns.
    • 4/5
      No One Will Miss Her is Kat Rosenfields' new suspense novel.
      Lizzie Oullette has lived her whole life in the town of Copper Falls, Maine. Or I should say that in another way - she lived in Copper Falls, but now she's dead and her husband Dwayne can't be found. Detective Ian Bird is called in to investigate. He soon finds a connection to Adrienne Richards who had been renting Lizzie’s lake house as a country getaway.

      The story unfolds from beyond the grave, with Lizzie recounting her life in Copper Falls from her childhood to the present. Lizzie is the town pariah and Rosenfield really emphasizes that with Lizzie's life basically being hell. (There are some trigger situations gentle readers.) I started to grow weary of the ugliness that Rosenfield foists on Lizzie's shoulders. And I really wanted to know why the heck she stayed in town at all, give the treatment she receives from the townsfolk.

      Well, then Part Two came along ... and my perceptions did a quick about face! And this is where I mentally started to clap for Rosenfield's plotting. You'll find an excellent twist in Part Two! And there's no way I'm going to spoil that for you so I won't say anymore. (But I did wonder if I went back and re-listened to the first part if I would catch any clues....)

      There is a part three as well, that tidies up loose ends. Again, I thought there was going to be one outcome to only be (happily) fooled again. Kudos to Rosenfield for keeping me guessing.

      I chose to listen to No One Will Miss Her. Cassandra Campbell, Sophie Amoss and Chris Andrew Ciulla were the readers for this title. I always enjoy a cast of narrators as the conversations seem more 'real' and it's easy to know who is speaking at any given time. Amoss reads the part of Lizzie and her voice suited the role. She's got a gravelly undertone to her voice. She captures the mindset and personality of her character, injecting lots of emotions into her reading. She speaks clearly and is easy to understand. Cassandra Campbell is a perennial favorite reader of mine - I always enjoy her narrations. She reads the role of Adrienne, the rich woman renting the lake house. Oh, Campbell captures the snark and entitlement of this character perfectly! The condescension drips from the words. She paces her speaking well and is also very easy to understand. Ciulla reads the role of Detective Ian Bird. Ciulla has a measured way of speaking that suited a Detective. Calm, efficient. Again, very easy to listen too and well enunciated.
    • 5/5
      4.5/5 for this dark, unique read!

      Lizzie is known as trash bag, trailer trash. She lives with her father who runs the local junkyard. When Lizzie is found brutally murdered, the locals have a lot to say….not all kindly. Her father’s junkyard is burning at the same time, oh and her husband is missing! Adrienne is on the other end … rich, lifestyle influencer. They have one thing in common….no friends and lots of secrets.

      This book starts with Lizzie speaking from the grave and follows her story, and goes into Adrienne’s story and how these 2 women, from completely different lifestyles, intersect. I found this story compelling, and could not put it down. Lizzie, her life, her story, will totally tug on your heartstrings and I found myself rooting for her…whether right or wrong. Adrienne is so totally on the other end of the spectrum and found her cold as ice!

      The plot is unique, writing is compelling. Characters are raw, real. Plot twists abound, some I could see coming, others not at all. My imagination was running wild throughout and I sat with my nose in this book whenever I could…even reading during a long car ride, something I usually can’t do. I look forward to reading this author again.

      Thanks to Ms. Rosenfield, William Morrow and Custom House and NetGally for this ARC. Opinion is mine alone!
    • 4/5
      Thanks to NetGalley for the audiobook of this psychological thriller. When a woman is found dead with an identifying mark on her chest, Lizzie Ouellette is pronounced dead, and the town isn't at all concerned. In fact, they don't miss her at all. In the minds of the townspeople, Lizzie was known as trouble for years, and her husband Dwyane Cleaves, a good ol' boy, was saddled with her. Ethan and Adrienne Richards, a wealthy couple who rented Lizzie's home on the water, are the likely suspects for the murder..
      If you think that is all there is to the story, you will be surprised at the twists and turns! People see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe, but you need to look deeper!
      I enjoyed this thriller and will look for more from this author. I also liked the narrator.
