My
Thoughts:
Vivvy Bouchet has always been a little different, like her mother.
Both inexplicably knew things, but Vivvy has always had a love of science.
Her other talents go on the backburner while she studies stars and far away planets
as an astrophysicist for a living.
However, her mother’s death has her back in her hometown and
she’s asked to look the famous cold case of a missing three-year-old, Lizzie
Solomon, by her friend/old crush, Mike, a police detective. Detective Jesse
Sharp, lead on the case, is more than a little skeptical of Vivvy. He’s like a
thorn in her side, showing up everywhere she goes while searching for the truth.
What comes from Vivvy’s examination is a surprise, one that she can’t let go of
even with all the negative publicity she attracts.
Night Will Find You was a mystery that grabbed hold of me and didn’t let go! Atmospheric and thrilling, I couldn’t stop listening! There were a few twists, a bit of romance, and a juxtaposition of science and the unexplained that was highly intriguing! I loved every minute!
As usual, Karissa Vacker’s performance was wonderful! She
nailed both male and female voices, and her accents felt spot on. Her narration
enhanced an already riveting story! I listened at my usual 1.5-1.75x normal
speed.
The publisher shared this Good Morning America interview with Karissa Vacker while narrating Night Will Find You, and an interview with Kate and Charlie Gibson talking about the increase in audiobook popularity. Such a great piece!

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.
