"No-one does suburban paranoia like Shari Lapena - this slowly unfurling nightmare will have you biting your nails until the end." (Ruth Ware, number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Woman in Cabin 10)

The new domestic suspense novel from New York Times best-selling author of The Couple Next Door, A Stranger in the House, and An Unwanted Guest, Shari Lapena

Maybe you don't know your neighbors as well as you thought you did....

"This is a very difficult letter to write. I hope you will not hate us too much.... My son broke into your home recently while you were out."

In a quiet, leafy suburb in upstate New York, a teenager has been sneaking into houses - and into the owners' computers as well - learning their secrets, and maybe sharing some of them, too.

Who is he, and what might he have uncovered? After two anonymous letters are received, whispers start to circulate, and suspicion mounts. And when a woman down the street is found murdered, the tension reaches the breaking point. Who killed her? Who knows more than they're telling? And how far will all these very nice people go to protect their own secrets?

In this neighborhood, it's not just the husbands and wives who play games. Here, everyone in the family has something to hide....

You never really know what people are capable of.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Slyly plotted...Lapena skillfully maximizes suspense with her dual story lines that eventually collide, as well as some deft misdirection...many fans of domestic suspense will be satisfied.” (Publishers Weekly)

"Poised and chilling.” (Wall Street Journal)

“Someone We Know is a tour de force of thriller writing. Shari Lapena proves yet again that she is the mistress of the pacy plot, cliff edge tension and menacing suburban claustrophobia. Fans will be delighted and if you haven’t read her books yet, then why on earth not?” (Gilly Macmillan, New York Times best-selling author of The Nanny)

Predictable but a fun ride

Predictable but a fun ride. Although I had guess the murderer close to the beginning of the book, the narrator had made this a fun listen. If you’re just looking for some light entertainment it is worth the credit.

not my favorite from Shari Lapena

decent book but not my favorite books from her. she's got potential for sure still enjoyed tho

Shari Lapena

excellent narrator I really enjoyed this audible book. Hope to get more books from her.

pretty good. not WOW!

SPOILER ALERT!! It's pretty good, tho at times predictable, which can be annoying. the end is NOT predictable, and frankly, a tad unfair. It seems to be sort of "cheating" to put out a who-done-it with the perpetrator being the most undeveloped, side-mentioned almost-character in the story. The story does have some similarity in mood as an Agatha Christie, but not quite as developed, detailed or eerie. All in all, not a bad read tho, and I would recommend it to a friend looking for a book to read on a rainy day.

Worth the read

Enjoyed the plot. Great character development. A. little slow at first but worth the read.

Very entertaining!

I loved listening to this book! Great suspenseful story, one of those that you can't put the book down. :)

Shari Lapena is my new favorite author

Someone We Know exceeded all my expectations, never would’ve guessed who the murderer really was, the cliffhanger has me wanting more!!

entertaining enough...but not memorable

I had it on my headphones at work and it was entertaining enough to make it through a shift, but glad it was an audio vs hardcover. The audio performance was pretty good.

Kept me interested

I like it ! I thought there was a good twist, although the story did leave me with some unanswered questions wondering if there will be a sequel

Confusing and frustrating

Why did the husband seem so guilty and hide a phone that didn’t implicate him? Did I miss a chapter??? Did I miss SOMETHING. I was very confused by the whole implausible premise. Really no redeeming characters and the cops wanted to believe guilt on the first sign of everyone they interviewed! They seemed clueless. Just kinda dumb with a really stupid ending with the phone missing…. Not really impressed at all.
