Praise for Look for Me

Jessica Barry's debut novel opens at full throttle and never lets up. A young woman staggers away from a plane crash on the side of a mountain. Thousands of miles away, a mother struggles to understand what happened to the daughter she thought she knew. Set aside a few hours before you open this book...once you start reading, you won't want to stop.

Karin Slaughter, International Bestselling Author

Most debut thriller writers would be happy to have one amazing story to tell. Jessica Barry's come up with two, and the way she weaves them together will have you on the edge of your seat. [LOOK FOR ME] is an electric mix of action and emotional drama that never stops, never slows down.

Liv Constantine, bestselling author of THE LAST MRS. PARRISH

A gripping page-turner. Freefall is exactly what a great thriller should be.

Renee Knight, bestselling author of DISCLAIMER

Wow. I barely drew breath as I galloped through this gripping debut thriller. I loved it!

Laura Marshall, bestselling author of FRIEND REQUEST

Jessica Barry's Look for Me is not only an enthralling, impossible-to-put-down mystery that keeps the pages flying, but it is also a gorgeous, resonant tale of a mother's unconditional love for her daughter. I could not recommend this more!

Aimee Molloy, NY Times bestselling author of THE PERFECT MOTHER

Jessica Barry has written a page-turner; a taut and compelling story which is difficult to put down. At the same time, through her convincing and sympathetic characters, she captures the complex relationship between mother and daughter brilliantly.

Jenny Quintana, author of THE MISSING GIRL

A daring tightrope walk of a novel. Exhilarating, emotional - a thriller charged with genuine depth and raw power.

A. J. Finn, author of THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW

Look for Me is an easily devourable and pacy page-turner - but what really got to me was the mother-daughter relationship in it. Prepare for your heart to be wrenched.

Emily Koch, author of IF I DIE BEFORE I WAKE

Freefall is the explosive debut thriller from Jessica Barry. It's about a woman who survives a plane crash and is forced to go on the run. It's a page-turner of a book, nail-biting and compelling, and I loved the relationship between mother and daughter, both powerful female characters.

Fiona Cummins, author of The Collector
