"The heroine of this psychological thriller is, improbably, an astrophysicist and psychic. Narrator Karissa Vacker captures Vivvy Bouchet's smarts and the urgency with which she goes after the mystery of Lizzy Solomon's disappearance."—AudioFile

“Narrator Karissa Vacker delivers a propulsive performance of Heaberlin’s latest, an intricate and layered supernatural thriller. Vacker’s characterizations are spot-on, capturing stubbornness, impulsivity, and intelligence.”—Library Journal

“An expertly rendered mystery, complete with compelling characters, an impeccably paced plot, and surprising twists...A must-read!”—Heather Gudenkauf, bestselling author of The Overnight Guest

A scientist and reluctant psychic is brought in to find a girl who went missing long ago in the new novel by Julia Heaberlin, the bestselling author of We Are All the Same in the Dark

Vivvy Bouchet, daughter of a known psychic, was ten when she saved a boy’s life by making an impossible prediction. Now she’s an astrophysicist in Texas, devoted to science, but the boy she saved has become a cop who continues to believe she can see things no one else can. When he begs for help on the high-profile cold case of a kidnapped girl, Vivvy steps back into the ocean of voices that once nearly drowned her.

She is forced to team up with detective Jesse Sharp, a skeptic of anything but fact. When Vivvy becomes the target of a conspiracy theorist podcaster, she fights back with both her scientific mind and her inexplicable gifts, hoping to lure a kidnapper, find a child who haunts her, and lay some of her own ghosts to rest.

Sharply relevant, Julia Heaberlin's Night Will Find You explores the mysterious nature of belief—in psychic power, in science, in conspiracies, in a higher power—and the delicate dance between scientific truth and the things we can’t explain.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Night Will Find You is an expertly rendered mystery, complete with compelling characters, an impeccably paced plot, and surprising twists. Heaberlin writes with such aching beauty I found myself pausing to relish her words and then racing ahead because I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. A must-read!”—Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of The Overnight Guest

“Night Will Find You is a mesmerizing, unputdownable love letter to the mysteries of science and the human mind. With an unforgettable cast of characters—a reluctant psychic and grieving daughter, a wildly popular conspiracy theorist, a police officer with shadowy motives—Julia Heaberlin pays homage to everything we don't know about the universe and ourselves. I am already missing my time inside this world.”—Katie Gutierrez, nationally bestselling author of Good Morning America book club pick More Than You’ll Ever Know

“Night Will Find You is a rare thriller that seamlessly straddles the mystic and the scientific. Compelling and compassionate, Hearberlin’s novel has one foot firmly planted in our world of misinformation and the other reaching for the inexplicable. I loved it.”—Ivy Pochoda, acclaimed author of These Women

Another great Julia Heaberlin book

Some books make you really think, others are just an enjoyable way to pass the time. Night Will Find You was an enjoyable way to pass the time. The author returns to a common theme - missing girls, often girls missing in their teen years, on the cusp of womanhood. The book also addresses, in an accurate manner, how the internet and social media has given every conspiracy nut job a platform to espouse their BS. Some who believe the crap that comes out of their own mouths, some who do so purely for the money, twisting themselves into whatever version will sell the most and saying whatever they want to say, no matter how many innocent people are affected.

Are there cliches and tropes? Of course. But it’s a well-written, entertaining story with an unusual premise (the scientist/psychic) and an ending/reveal that wasn’t telegraphed by mid-book, which I appreciate.

A lot of reviews I’ve read in the past 5 or so years for various authors tend to complain about the author bringing in “politics” and the complaint that an author espouses views on one side or the other of the political spectrum, as though fictional characters should exist in a universe completely separate from the one in which we live. For some reviewers, any passing reference to COVID raises their hackles. If anyone considering listening to (or reading) this book has an issue with the author addressing the rise and negative effect of conspiracy nut jobs, then this book isn’t for you.

I enjoyed it.

Cannot get enough of this Author

One of my favorites so far. I'm always so impressed by the amount of research she does for her characters. absolutely stunning.

So good!

Loved it. One of the best I’ve read this year, could not put it down. Karissa Vacker killed it. Fifteen words :)

Please turn this into a series!

All of Heaberlin’s stories are must reads (or listens!) for me, but I especially loved this one. I found the main character so interesting and really enjoyed the slight supernatural tone mixed with the mystery. Although less dark than some of her other stories, I still found it suspenseful enough that I had that “must keep listening” feeling. I would love to know what happens next with the characters and really hope that this becomes a series!

It was pretty good

Story was pretty good. I did like that it didn't have a bunch of silly twist as so many books have now. The narrator was great as she always is. This is 2nd audio I've listened to from this author and it was good.

Pulled me in

I’ve read so many thrillers that it’s difficult to get one past me. This story is so fun and so well written that I couldn’t put it down and wrapped it in two days. This satisfied me with only a couple short dips—ahead of most. I clung to nearly every word in this one. A rare treat!

Entertaining yarn

I enjoyed the story. Loved that it took place in Fort Worth, TX.
The narrative did a great job with all the female voices. I found the male voices annoying

Meh.

It’s good enough to listen to while I’m working. However, it is very pro-lib and insults conservatives. I almost stopped listening as it became too preachy.

Also, the main character is a scientist — the author is not, and it shows.

Fantastic listen!

An astrophysicist w psychic abilities, a missing girl…and a slight love triangle. Vivi is back in her small Texas hometown to bury her mother when her ex BF…now her BIL…asks for help in the cold case of a missing toddler who was presumed dead. She has to work with skeptic, Detective Sharpe, who she is attracted to and maybe it can go somewhere if she can let go of her feelings for her now-brother-in-law. The story certainly keeps your attention throughout….the ending leaves you breathless. Definitely recommend this book.

Loved it!

Found this to be intriguing and kept me engaged throughout. This was the first novel I’ve listened to by the author and will definitely check out her others.
