WHAT SHE SAW written by Gerard Stembridge is an intriguing
story that will remind you to mind your own business.
Stembridge created a character that not only comes across
mentally unstable at times but also determined to get
answers without thinking of the consequences. This
combination makes it a great thriller. The story brings in
many surprises along the way. A couple of times I wondered
like the character, who or what to believe.
A married American woman named Lana Gibson took a vacation
to Paris without her husband to experience the city life and
her curiosity gets her in over her head. She takes a private
elevator one evening to the penthouse where only the elite
stays and what she sees haunts her for the rest of her time
in Paris. What did she see? She was not even sure herself.
Is there anyone that she can trust?
Such a story as WHAT SHE SAW reminds me to not put my
curiosity where it does not belong, especially in a country
where you are all alone. What a frightful thought. This will
keep you hanging on to every page. Stembridge did not have
any slow parts that dragged on but kept your attention to
the end. It seemed to me that things the main character was
running from at the beginning had her running back to it at
the end. If you love thrillers WHAT SHE SAW is one that I
recommend.
A taut, stylish thriller set over the course of twenty- four hours in Paris—perfect for fans of Chris Pavone's The Expats and Olen Steinhauer's The Tourist. The storied Hotel Chevalier on Paris’ ritzy Right Bank hosts celebrities, dignitaries, and—for one night—Lana Gibson, an American woman who’s escaped the monotony of her staid married life for a cultural jaunt to the City of Light. As long as she takes her meds, she promises herself, her heightened curiosity and manic elation will stay under control. But when that curiosity leads her to the hotel’s private elevator which serves only the ultra-elite penthouse Suite Imperial, she spies much more than plush carpets and gilt chandeliers: a young woman caught in the clutches of a threatening-looking older man. Unable to erase the image of the girl in danger from her mind, Lana alerts the police, plunging herself into a firestorm of intrigue and becoming a target. As she engages in a cat-and-mouse game that plays out across the streets of Paris, it emerges that the older man is a prominent public figure, and the murky situation only offers more questions: Is he being set up? Who stands to gain the most from his downfall? Not knowing who has her best interests at heart, Lana will need to use every ounce of strength and guile as she races to discover the relationship between the truth and what she saw. Set against the glittering city of Paris, What She Saw is a hypnotic, thoroughly compelling thriller that will leave readers guessing until the final pages.
