I wasn't too crazy about Chevy Stevens' previous novel, Still Missing, but I was curious enough about her new thriller to enter the First Reads giveaway, which is how I obtained this book. Thanks Goodreads! 
 Never Knowing is about a woman named Sara who was adopted as an infant. She had always wondered about the identities of her biological parents. She hires a PI and finds out that her mother was the only surviving victim of a serial killer's attacks. Sara's father is the serial killer and he is still on the loose. 
 Never Knowing is like Still Missing, but improved. You can't help but compare the two closely when they are so similar to each other. The format that Chevy Stevens used for her new psychological thriller is the same that she used in her previous novel - protagonist is a woman in her early 30s, first person narrative, chapters broken into the sessions the protagonist has with her psychiatrist, the Vancouver Island setting. The plotting is similar too, down to the climax and the twist at the end but I did enjoy Never Knowing better. The supporting characters generally felt a little more fleshed-out, and Sara herself was generally more likeable than Annie was in Still Missing. The biggest fault in the novel was the somewhat clumsy incorporation of the psychiatrist in the story. 
 But Chevy Stevens does know how to write an entertaining page-turner and Never Knowing did not disappoint.
