"Have You Seen Her"

Catherine McKenzie was born and raised in Montreal, Canada. A graduate of McGill in History and Law, Catherine practiced law for twenty years before leaving the practice to write full time. An avid runner, skier and tennis player, she’s the author of numerous bestsellers including Hidden, Fractured, The Good Liar and I’ll Never Tell. Her works have been translated into multiple languages and Please Join Us and I’ll Never Tell have all been optioned for development into television series.

McKenzie applied the Page 69 Test to her new novel, Have You Seen Her, and reported the following:

There are two things that happen on page 69 of Have You Seen Her:

(1) The main character, Cassie, is dealing with the fallout of her lunch with her mother (who she hasn’t seen in a long time) when her mother reveals that someone from Cassie’s past may have answered the phone. Cassie is left to decide whether that person might be able to find her now or not.

(2) Cassie also finds out that a bear has been bothering the campsite that she is responsible for patrolling.

The Page 69 Test is a good one for Have You Seen Her. It happens to encapsulate two themes and mysteries that are developed throughout the book—Cassie’s past, and one of the challenges that she’s facing in the present. Without giving too much away, the person from Cassie’s past is looking for her, and the bear that’s been bothering camp will play a pivotal role in the book in more ways than one.

I guess that means it passes the test!
