Book Review: "Please See Us" By Caitlin Mullen

A great new thriller involving several missing women near the northeastern new jersey region.

Summer has come and gone. The tourists are barely seen. The boardwalks are nearly empty in Atlantic City. Yet one thing is active the crime rate and murder.


Two women have just been found in the marshland behind the Sunset Motel and only one person knows they're there.


A young woman trying to make ends meet as a Tarot Card Psychic is our main character and is lively and vibrant. In fact she gets premonitions about these women. Visions that are all too real. Visions that are simply too hard to forget.


Meanwhile, Lily is a art gallery gal working at a desolate casino spa who struggles in her own daily battles.


These two are an unlikely pairing but when lives are on the line it's urgent that these women be heard.


Sadly this is all too common scenario and sadly the 'Atlantic Cities' of the world are becoming more frequent as the quest for the almighty dollar precedes the safety and concern for those around these blighted out properties.


What's left after these casino giants leave is what we are experiencing here in NorthEastern Pennsylvania. Nothing more than high crimes, drugs, prostitution, and blighted properties with high unemployment and no living wage jobs. Plenty of minimum wage retail, factory, hospitality, and food establishments that pay below poverty wages. Those with families can't make it work and can't get out. It's a locked into poverty scenario that is on rewind.


This was a great read for thriller fans.
