The Last Time We Saw Her

“The Last Time I Saw Her is a brilliant, sharply-written destination thriller that ingeniously combines two cherished tropes—an exotic setting and a documentary poised to unravel a cold case—into a book that delivers on every level, narrated by an incredible cast of characters, each with their own compelling voice. Juicy secrets, tension that simmers on every page, and a stunning conclusion make this a can’t-miss book. Jaclyn Goldis just became an auto-buy author for me. What a star!” – Ashley Winstead, USA Today-bestselling author of THIS BOOK WILL BURY ME“An exotic location that thrums with dread, a long-lost treasure, and a documentary exploring a mysterious death set the stage for Jaclyn Goldis’s latest page-turner. A cast of complex characters carry grudges, old feuds, and murderous intent until the ultimate betrayal. An atmospheric, beautifully written thriller.” – Robyn Harding, internationally bestselling author of STRANGERS IN THE VILLA“Jaclyn Goldis masterfully combines the youth camping experience, complicated relationships and an exotic locale into a fun, dark and twisty novel. I tore through it, eager to see who was playing who in a clever cat and mouse game.” – Jessie Garcia, author of THE BUSINESS TRIP“[E]ngrossing page-turner… Goldis makes shrewd use of several possibly unreliable narrators, including Olivia and two of her fellow campers. Riley Sager fans will relish this dark, crafty puzzle.” * Publishers Weekly *“An intriguing story of murder and treasure set on the island of São Miguel… [an] enjoyable read by a popular author.” * Booklist *“A lively thriller…both dark and joyful.” * Hadassah Magazine *“Goldis manages the revelations with an expert touch and keeps readers guessing at every turn.” * Crimereads, “The Most Anticipated Mysteries, Thrillers, and Crime Novels of Summer 2026” *“When it comes to thrillers, Jaclyn Goldis knows how to write — and how to write well!
