Please See Us (2020) is Caitlin Mullen’s debut novel, set in Atlantic City. The story follows two women: Clara, a psychic working the boardwalk, and Lily, who takes a job at a casino spa. Their stories converge as missing women begin turning up dead in the marshes outside the city.
The novel uses the fading glamour of Atlantic City as a backdrop for a story about who gets noticed and who gets forgotten. Mullen’s writing grounds the thriller elements in the real economic and social conditions of the city.
