You Can't Catch Me by Catherine McKenzie






When the game is deception, nothing is as it seems in this novel of cunning psychological suspense by the #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author of I’ll Never Tell.

Do you want to play a game?

Twelve years ago Jessica Williams escaped a cult. Thanks to the private detective who rescued her, she reintegrated into society, endured an uncomfortable notoriety, and tried to put it all behind her. Then, at an airport bar, Jessica meets a woman with an identical name and birth date. It appears to be just an odd coincidence—until a week later, when Jessica finds her bank account drained and her personal information stolen.

Following a trail of the grifter’s victims, each with the same name, Jessica gathers players—one by one—for her own game. According to her plan, they’ll set a trap and wait for the impostor to strike again. But plans can go awry, and trust can fray, and as Jessica tries to escape the shadows of her childhood, the risks are greater than she imagined. Now, confronting the casualties of her past, Jessica can’t help but wonder.

My Review


This story grabbed me from the first page, and didn't let go. Now I'm familiar with this author's work, which is how I chose this book, and yet, she still was able to surprise me all the way to the end.
Jessica Williams, yup, a name you will be very familiar with as you read, but there is depth here, and most you will never expect.
A little bit of Cults and Grifters here, and how they meld together is quite mind blowing, and con upon con. '
I love how the mind of this author works, and she keeps me guessing with bombshells and twist that I never saw coming, a book that will keep you page-turning and gasping!

I received this book through Net Galley and Lake Union Publishing, and was not required to give a positive review.
