I Know You Know

A Novel

De: Gilly Macmillan

Narrado por: Steve Brand, Steve West, Imogen Church

From New York Times best-selling author Gilly Macmillan comes this original, chilling, and twisty mystery about two shocking murder cases 20 years apart and the threads that bind them.

Twenty years ago, 11-year-olds Charlie Paige and Scott Ashby were murdered in the city of Bristol, their bodies dumped near a dog racing track. A man was convicted of the brutal crime, but decades later, questions still linger.

For his whole life, filmmaker Cody Swift has been haunted by the deaths of his childhood best friends. The loose ends of the police investigation consume him so much that he decides to return to Bristol in search of answers. Hoping to uncover new evidence and to encourage those who may be keeping long-buried secrets to speak up, Cody starts a podcast to record his findings. But there are many people who don’t want the case - along with old wounds - reopened so many years after the tragedy, especially Charlie’s mother, Jess, who decides to take matters into her own hands.

When a long-dead body is found in the same location the boys were left decades before, the disturbing discovery launches another murder investigation. Now detective John Fletcher, the investigator on the original case, must reopen his dusty files and decide if the two murders are linked. With his career at risk, the clock is ticking, and lives are in jeopardy....

Simply marvelous!

As a story, it is the sad one, once you think of people really been in similar situations like Jess and Sid, and corrupt police, and all. But THE TWIST!!!! Just outstanding!

STUNNING!!!!! Leads up to an over the top satisfying climax!!!!

Never in a million years will you guess the ending!!! You will be outwitted and fooled by this clever author who knows the fine art of misdirection!!! IMPECCABLY WELL THOUGHT OUT!!! You will be led by a master Pied Piper right past anything you think you know!!!!

Incredible!

I couldn’t “put the book down”!!
Now I have to catch up on sleep! But wow.
I can usually perceive the changes in the story line.
But this one swept me off my feet!

Finally! An Unpredictable Thriller!

I Know You Know has an advantage over other book formats in this instance because it involves a podcast. How better to incorporate a podcast into a book better than in an audiobook? This format lends itself beautifully here. Gilly Macmillan has not disappointed me yet and more than anything, I'm tired of being disappointed by so called thrillers that I either figure out in advance or can't seem to adequately suspend disbelief in order that I might enjoy it to the end. This one surprised me-yes! Yes it contains the requisite plot twist! Imogen Church's melliflulous diction coupled with a subtle unfolding was just the intellectual treat I've been craving. Loved this so much. If there was any reason that I didn't give it solid 5 stars was the Story had a lot of characters who did not seem relevant in the final analysis to the point where (I thought) it muddled the ending somewhat. This could also admittedly be the result of my intermittant fadings out and not having the privilege of long periods of listens. Searching for a thriller that doesn't involve unneccessary graphics and and terrible mind permeating images? A story that gently unfolds, subtly and deliberately but isn't painfully long and drawn out? You won't be disappointed.It was satisfying on so many levels.

Overall pretty good

I think the ending could have been better. I think there was good intensity and suspense up until the end and then it sort of dropped.

I love the twists and turns!!!

She sets you up love a character and hate another then turns everything upside down.

Great Premise

I enjoyed the narrative, although it took me more than one attempt to understand the transitions from present to past. I was surprised by how it all turned out in the end. I’d recommend this one.

Loved

I love this author, and I love Imogen Church narrating so I knew it would be great, but the story kept me hooked! Buy it!

Good listen!

This was a good story. It was different because there is a podcast you listen to that a character does. And the ending really surprised me.

Didn’t Make Sense!

The plot seemed forced and several interesting aspects weren’t developed. I could not understand the motivation of several characters including the purported Murderer, who is already dead.
