About the Author
Pat Young grew up in the south west of Scotland where she still lives, sometimes. She often goes to the other extreme, the south west of France, in search of sunlight. Pat never expected to be a writer. Then she found a discarded book with a wad of cash tucked in the flyleaf. ‘What if something awful happened to the person who lost this book?’ she thought, and she was off. Pat knew nothing of writing, but she knew a thing or two about books, having studied English, French and German at Glasgow University. A passion for languages led to a career she loved and then a successful part-time business that allowed her some free-time, at last. Pat had plans, none of which included sitting at her desk from daybreak till dusk. But some days she has to. Because there’s a story to be told. And when it’s done, she can go out to play. On zip-wires and abseil ropes, or just the tennis court. Pat writes psychological thrillers. Till the Dust Settles is her debut, from Bloodhound Books.

About the author
Pat Young is a Number 1 Bestselling author of psychological thrillers.
Pat's debut novel Till the Dust Settles was awarded the prestigious Constable Stag trophy by the Scottish Association of Writers and hit the top spot on Amazon one week after its sequel was released. Pat has also won prizes for her short stories, including the Imprint Writing Award.
Pat was born in Ayrshire, Scotland but now lives in Leeds, Yorkshire. She accidentally became a writer when she found a book with a letter and money hidden inside. That was enough to set her hyperactive imagination on fire and she wrote the story during Nanowrimo. That story became Pat's third published novel, One Perfect Witness.
The idea for Till the Dust Settles came later, when Pat watched a documentary about the dust cloud that shrouded Manhattan on 9/11 and thought, 'What if ...?' Readers and reviewers in the UK and the USA loved Pat's debut and asked for a sequel. Pat realised Lucie's story was not over and wrote I know where you live.
All Pat wants is for people to read her stories and enjoy them. If you do, she'd love you to leave a review.

Great characters, nail-biting suspense and a really good plot combined to make both of these two books 'must reads'.
I Know Where you Live, had a lot of twists and turns. Scary moments with a child involved. It makes sense with the knowledge of the first book.
I don't know if there is a third book involved, but it might help make understanding more of the why.Whatever happened with sophie?How long did they stay in Scotland?What did Seth do.? Who sold them out in Texas.
I ordered book one, I may wait and read first book,then second book.
It was well written,and I enjoyed the mystery very much.
I'm giving the story 4 and a half stars.
You won't be disappointed
Also, I found out after I started this book that it actually involves a partial follow-on to a story told in a previous book. I worried that since I didn't read the first book, I may not understand some of the plot points--but that wasn't the case at all! This book really isn't a sequel. It stands completely on its own as a novel, and the events from the other book--though related--aren't really the point of this book.
This novel tells the story of Penny and her husband Seth. They live in Texas, but decide to make the move to France for a great career opportunity for Seth. Penny thinks the move will be good for their two kids and for Seth. But Penny also has ulterior motives for wanting the move--motives that she hasn't told her family about.
Penny believes she is being watched, and she thinks she knows why...
As Penny, Seth, and their two young children are waiting to fly to France, they meet a young woman named Sophie. Sophie instantly charms the little Gates family. She is traveling to France to seek out work as an Au Pair, and to hopefully find her father who left when she was quite young. Sophie is young, fun, and great with kids. She is also fluent in French--something the Gates family is not. As the family and Sophie grow closer, hiring Sophie as their Au Pair seems like a dream come true.
But then one day, while Sophie is caring for the younger child, Ethan, he goes missing...
It is every parent's worst nightmare--living in a foreign country, not speaking the language, and unable to find their child. Sophie says she left him for just a quick moment, and in that time he vanished. The Gates go to the police, who encourage them to use the media to spread the word. Someone must have seen Ethan! But the Gates are hesitant. They don't want to go to the media. You see, the Gates are not who they say they are, and doing what they need to do to find their child may mean revealing their true selves to the world.
The Gates are hiding their identity, but who else is hiding something?
I highly recommend this book, and plan to put it on a list of novels that I recommend to post-graduate readers. The setting in France (and a few other places that you'll see when you get into the story) are fun to read about. The plot moves quickly. Pat Young also uses the tool of alternating perspectives. We see things from Penny's point of view, Sophie's point of view, and a mysterious third person's point of view. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a mystery and the thrill of a fast-paced, secret-driven novel.
There were times when both Sophie and Penny had these incredible moments of reflection and introspection. At first I enjoyed the plot immensely, but didn't necessarily feel a strong connection with any characters. However, as the story progresses, the way the women in this novel have a raw moment of clarity on their lives, or their actions--these really drew me in. By the end, I truly felt for these characters and had a range of emotions about their story progressions.
I want to express my gratitude to NetGalley, Pat Young, and Bloodhound Books for a copy of this novel in exchange for a fair and honest review.
One the other hand, the characters are real. You can identify with them. Hopefully there will be a third book so we can follow up with their story.

The novel has lots of twists and turns as we head to the final spectacular ending. The reader never knows quite where we are going next which adds to the books enjoyment. A great read from start to finish!
