When Quill hears a woman's scream during her run she knows she has to find out who it was and what happened. Quill decides to take matters into her own hands to protect the women of her community.
What follows is Quill making a lot of interesting decisions that put her and her family at risk. Her as a character really irked me. She didn't stop to think and make choices, she was all reaction.
One other small detail that really bothered me was how Quill's son was treated. He was constantly just rushed out of the scene and put in front of a screen so they wouldn't have to deal with him. It made me sad for him.
I am glad this thriller sheds light on the very real missing and murdered Indigenous women, and there were parts of it I liked. I just found the main character difficult to read from.

Where They Last Saw Her is a gripping, emotional mystery that shines a light on the cultural and generational hardships faced by First Nations and Indigenous communities. Rendon’s storytelling evokes raw emotions, immersing readers in the fear, grief, and resilience experienced by Indigenous women in the face of systemic neglect.
The characters are exceptionally well-crafted, each one representing different aspects of the challenges faced by Indigenous women.Quill, in particular, stands out as fearless yet reckless , a stark juxtaposition between the quiet strength often associated with Native women.
While the antagonist was somewhat predictable, it didn’t didn’t take away from the tension or the power of the narrative. The ending, though not what I wanted, was hauntingly appropriate. A harsh reminder too many cases of missing and murdered Indigenous people go unresolved.
