This is only 20 pages long and it ends quite abruptly. I recommend reading it before Always Watching.

An enjoyable short focusing on Staff Sergeant McBride, the chief investigator working tha Campsite Killer case from Steven's second novel, Never Knowing. The mystery is not hard to solve but the short story serves to both recap key elements of Never Knowing along with beginning to develop the backstory for Nadine Lavoie. Lavoie is the central focus of Chevy's third novel, Always Watching. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 in anticipation of her new release.

Quick and fast read. Continuation from Still Missing. Advise to read that one first so you aren't lost.

The Campsite Killer case has been dragged out for quite some time but the recent discovery that the killer fathered a child with his one surviving victim has given the police hope of finally catching him. The case hits a little too close to home for Staff Sergeant Sandy McBride, though, bringing up bad memories of her own mother's murder. And while Sandy herself was witness to the event - her own father brutally killed her mother while the young girl hid in the bedroom closet - her father disappeared and the case was never closed.
This one is more of a bridge and refresher for Stevens fans. The upcoming ALWAYS WATCHING features Dr. Nadine Lavoie, the therapist from both STILL MISSING and NEVER KNOWING. "The Other Side" is told from the perspective of Sandy McBride, one of the officers on the Campsite Killer case in Never Knowing, touching on some of the events of that previous release but also going into much more detail about Sandy herself. Considering it's been a couple of years since NEVER KNOWING hit shelves, it was a nice refresher course and a fun little short as well. And while Nadine is only a tiny part of the story, "The Other Side" is a nice way to jar the memories of both of Stevens' previous stories just in time for Nadine's starring role in ALWAYS WATCHING.

Very short story, telling part of a story of one of the characters from Never Knowing. Nice to get the other perspective.

This short story was exactly what I needed it to be between books. Short, sweet and straight to the point.
