I Know What You Did

De: Cayce Osborne

Narrado por: Hillary Huber

Petal Woznewski is content with her quiet, introverted life in New York City: she has her junk food, her movies, and her on-again, off-again boyfriend Gus. That peace is shattered when her name appears on the dedication page of an anonymously written thriller with a cryptic note: “I know what you did, Petal Woznewski. And now everyone else will, too.”

As she reads, Petal realizes the story is rooted in a secret she buried thirty years earlier when she was fourteen—a secret involving the tragic death of her friend Megan, a secret that only one other person knows: their old friend Jenny. Armed with a copy of the book and her own suspicions, Petal returns to her hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. There, she discovers more questions than answers. Jenny has disappeared, and Petal’s old high-school crush Ben doesn’t know anything about the book—at least not anything he’s telling.

As sinister clues pile up and the thriller’s plot detours dangerously from the facts, Petal has no choice but to confront her past and solve the mystery of who wrote it—before her very real life ends as tragically as the novel.

Didn’t like it

Character voice was annoying. Too much inner thinking commentary. Too much time wasted getting to some key points.
Didn’t finish book.

Silly

Silly attempt at serious suspense? Maybe silly was the intent. Hard to get through. Narration was good, though.

Overall Good Storyline

I appreciated the story line. I was surprised at the ending. Would definitely recommend to others.

Entertaining Book!

Loved the humor and the storyline, and it definitely kept me listening. The climax scene stretched believeability, but I would definitely read more by this author.

LOVED this

Original plot, realistic, flawed, but likeable main character instead of the usual "perfect" woman with a "perfect" life. Very satisfying mystery. More, please!!

flimsy

2.5 stars for I Know What You Did by Cayce Osborne. I hate writing bad reviews and typically don't even finish a book that is headed in the 2 star direction, but I managed to finish this one. So here it is. The premise was flimsy ~ the main character finds her name in the dedication of a book about three frenemies. The book is about a real event that happened in her past, but hers is the only name that is legit. In this book the mean ring leader of the frenemies dies at the hand of the other- not a spoiler- the details get disputed to the very end, and I won't share that part. Even though it was supposedly an accident, there is an agreed upon cover up between the surviving 2- why? The actual event when it is played out at some point near the end is fairly lame and quite hard to believe. It is even harder to understand why all the need for this conspiracy of silence. The need, I suppose, is so the author had a story to write about it. The characters are equally thin and none of it was worth it, IMO. Sorry!
