In Find Her, did you enjoy ...

... a visceral, captivity-driven survival story anchored by a woman who refuses to break?

Still Missing by Chevy Stevens

If what gripped you in Find Her was Flora Dane’s years under Jacob Ness and the raw will it took to outlast him, you’ll be riveted by Annie O’Sullivan’s ordeal in Still Missing. Told in searing, confessional sessions after her rescue, Annie retraces the meticulous control of her abductor, the brutal choices she had to make, and the hard climb back to a life that makes sense. Like Flora, she’s not just a victim—she’s a survivor whose grit propels every page.

... the back-and-forth between present-day interrogation and chilling captivity flashbacks?

The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison

If you liked how Find Her braided Flora’s past imprisonment with D.D. Warren’s present-day casework, The Butterfly Garden uses a similarly haunting structure. A rescued young woman recounts the Garden and its “Butterflies” to FBI agents, revealing the Gardener’s methods piece by piece. That shifting timeline steadily reframes everything—much like how Flora’s flashbacks recast the stakes of the Boston investigation.

... fierce, complicated women confronting long-buried crimes and fighting back?

Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter

If the partnership of Flora Dane and Detective D.D. Warren hooked you—two tough women pushing into the darkest corners—Pretty Girls delivers that same ferocity. Sisters Claire and Lydia reunite after a tragedy and dig into a missing-person case that spirals into a violent conspiracy. Like D.D.’s relentless pursuit and Flora’s fearless tactics, their courage drives them straight at the monsters.

... an intimate, trauma-deep portrait of a survivor’s mind shaped by her captor?

The Marsh King's Daughter by Karen Dionne

If the psychological pull of Flora’s trauma—and how it informs every choice she makes—kept you turning pages, The Marsh King’s Daughter sinks you into Helena’s psyche. Raised by the man who abducted her mother, Helena knows her captor better than anyone. When he escapes, she must use that hard-won knowledge to hunt him. The headspace is as gripping as any chase, echoing Flora’s haunted, hypercompetent drive.

... a relentless, clue-by-clue hunt for a predator led by a determined detective?

The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen

If D.D. Warren’s procedural tenacity and the high-stakes hunt in Find Her are your sweet spot, The Surgeon will scratch that itch. Detective Jane Rizzoli and a driven medical examiner track a killer who targets a survivor with chilling precision. The forensic breadcrumbs, tight Boston setting, and escalating danger mirror the investigative urgency that powered D.D.’s case.
