This book grabs
you from the first page and you want to keep reading until the last. It kind of sits in your brain and you keep
thinking about it once it’s ended. The
characters were well written and interesting and the mystery and suspense were
there as well. Catherine McKenzie hasn’t
ever let me down, at least not yet in any of her books. They were always a great yarn and delivered
as promised. I absolutely recommend this
book to those who love a good mystery!
I received this
book free in the kindle format from NetGalley.com. I wasn’t required to write a review positive
or otherwise. The opinions expressed are

A riveting new novel of suspense about a disgraced young journalist
caught up in a grifter’s game, and the trail of identically named victims she
uncovers, from the instant bestselling author of I’ll Never Tell and The
Good Liar.
Assumed
identities. A con game. Unwitting victims.
After being
fired from her investigative journalism job for plagiarism, Jessica Williams is
looking for a break from the constant press coverage. She decides to escape for
a week to a resort in Mexico boasting no connections to the outside world.
While waiting at the airport for her flight, she encounters a woman with the
exact same name, who she dubs Jessica Two. Drawn together by the coincidence,
they play a game of twenty questions to see what other similarities they share,
and exchange contact information.
A week
later, Jessica returns home and discover that large cash withdrawals have been
made from her bank account. Security footage from the bank confirms her
suspicions—Jessica Two has stolen her money. She goes to the police, only to be
told that the crime is a low priority. Frustrated, she meets up with a trusted
old friend, Liam, who is an investigator. When the two Google “Jessica
Williams,” they get thousands of hits—Jessica was the most popular
girl’s name in 1990 and Williams is almost as ubiquitous
as Smith. Convinced that this isn’t the first time this scam has
been run, Jessica is determined to catch the imposter, and writes a Facebook
post hoping to chase down some of Jessica Two’s other victims. When she gets a
number of responses, she sets a plan in motion to catch the thief, encountering
a string of identically named victims along the way.
Then, the
threatening messages start arriving.
Filled with
incredible twists and turns, You Can’t Catch Me is a
tantalizing, character-driven exploration of how far people will go to get
revenge.
