About The Author
My Review
This is a gripping, timely mystery that blends emotional depth with modern-day intrigue. When Romy Kaplan suddenly vanishes—her phone unanswered and her social media active—her terminally ill friend Beth grows desperate. Beth’s daughter, Layla, turns to the Hindsight podcast team—Cristy, Connor, and Clove—for help. Through Cristy’s perspective, the investigation unravels secrets, lies, and a chilling conspiracy tied to cybercrime and AI manipulation.
Lewis’s storytelling is sharp and immersive, balancing tension with heartfelt character moments. Cristy, in particular, stands out as a determined and empathetic lead whose own story adds texture and realism. The podcast format offers a fresh narrative device, revealing clues and emotional insights naturally. With smooth prose, brisk pacing, and clever twists, the book keeps readers engaged throughout.
While Romy’s character occasionally feels too idealized, the mystery’s momentum and the timely themes make up for it. Never Look Back is an absorbing, contemporary thriller about friendship, truth, and the dark side of technology.
