Everyone Knows but You

A Tale of Murder on the Maine Coast

De: Thomas E. Ricks

Narrado por: Graham Rowat

After his wife and two children are killed in a car crash, Ryan Tapia starts a new life in Maine. But his first case there is a puzzling oddball—the corpse of a fisherman washes up on federal land, while the man's boat drifts into waters that are part of an Indian reservation. Ryan quickly learns the nuances of Maine life as he delves into two illicit coastal trades: hard drugs and rare fish. Many of the locals are happy to see that particular fisherman dead. What's more, they are not shy about noting that Ryan must have screwed up pretty badly to be posted to such a remote location as Bangor, Maine.

Undaunted, Ryan works to understand the unforgiving way of life on Liberty Island, where people live by an older, harsher code. Adrift on a sailboat one day, he encounters a man from the Malpense tribe, living as a hermit on a remote island, who witnessed something that fateful day.

In his riveting crime debut, New York Times bestselling author Thomas E. Ricks turns his literary talents to land he knows deeply, from working in the Maine woods and trapping lobsters year-round. Everyone Knows But You is a rich and dynamic crime novel that brings a unique part of America to vivid, thrilling life.

Everyone Knows But You

This was a good book from beginning to end. I thought it was very enjoyable. It was one of the “Deals of the Day”

Good

Liked the characterizations, plot and scenes. Felt Maine, hope this is the beginning of a series.

Great story

This story made me feel like I was in the islands! Great descriptions and characters. It moved along at a perfect pace. Kept my interest till the end.

So so

I bought this audiobook based on great reviews. I thought it was a very mediocre murder mystery story. The narration was flat and kind of annoying. In the end it was a pleasant listen but unimpressive

Understated and very worth the time

Well written, beautifully crafted. Not a "fun" nor "funny" book... a piece of "real" life. This was my story for a Sunday afternoon when all alone. I found it completely worth the 6 hours of time plus those quiet moments in memory. (And I'd like to find someone with whom to discuss it.) YMMV, but the understated narration was absolutely perfect once I got over my thinking it "should be" different.
