If You Knew Her: A Novel
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
From a terrific new voice comes a standout debut thriller in the vein of What She Knew and I Let You Go.
"Emotionally charged and tautly plotted, Emily Elgar's debut is a stunning example of psychological suspense."—Clare Mackintosh, international bestselling author of I Let You Go and I See You
A woman in a coma. The man who could save her life—if only he could speak.
When young, beautiful Cassie Jensen arrives unconscious to the intensive care ward at St. Catherine's hospital after being struck in a hit-and-run while out walking her dog, chief nurse Alice Marlowe thinks she looks familiar. She starts digging deeper into Cassie's relationships, only to discover something about her patient that she'd been keeping secret from everyone, including her devoted husband and family. Soon Alice finds herself obsessed with her patient's past and future, even willing to put her own career on the line in her single-minded search for answers.
Frank, a patient on the same ward who has locked-in syndrome, can hear and see everything around him but cannot speak. Soon he comes to understand that Cassie's life is still in danger. While the police continue to look for clues, only Frank holds the truth, but he's unable to communicate it.
As the novel flashes between points of view, the listener will get closer and closer to the truth of who Cassie Jensen was, and why she was out on the road that fateful night . . .

Cassie Jensen appears to have the perfect life. She and her handsome young husband are head-over-heels in love, and her mother-in-law is devoted to the young couple. All is well until Cassie leaves a Christmas party alone and is later found in a ditch, with hypothermia and injuries that suggest she was run over. She ends up sharing a hospital ward with Frank, a patient who, like Cassie, seems to be in an unreachable state. But Frank actually has locked-in syndrome, meaning that he can see and hear but not move or communicate. As time goes on, Frank comes to realize that Cassie is in great danger. Finding out who exactly bears the vulnerable young woman ill will is a mystery that unfolds via shifting points of view, exposing betrayals new and old as well as wretched regrets. Elgar's gratifying, well-written tale of family predicaments will be a good match for women's-fiction readers looking for something a bit darker.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
