Ten years after teen-aged Sydney vanished on a camping trip in the Azores, counselors, fellow campers, and her family come together to reconnect, remember her, and dedicate a newly renovated synagogue in her honor. But while old resentments resurface, what no one expects is the sudden arrival of a dead body—bringing long-buried secrets to the surface. Can the island finally reveal the truth? Join me for a conversation with Jaclyn Goldis about her latest thriller mystery, The Last Time We Saw Her.
