Publisher's Summary

From the bestselling author of The Ex and Those Other Women comes a thrilling family drama about the secrets we keep, the lies we tell and the truths that won't stay hidden.

Everybody's hiding something ...

Jill, her three sons, their wives and children are driving in convoy on Christmas Eve. But something sinister is simmering behind their happy smiles.

Mimi is struggling with her new twins, but at least a glass of wine smooths out life's jagged edges. Andrea's starting to wonder if her marriage is as happy as she'd thought. Darren is reeling from a surprise request and teenager Callie has become increasingly withdrawn.

On the way to their holiday house, a terrifying car accident devastates them all. But someone unexpected was in one of the cars. No one is searching for them. And their time is running out.

You Need to Know is a dark domestic drama about family secrets and lies, fractured relationships, tragic mistakes and the ultimate betrayal.

"Nicola Moriarty has a gift for domestic drama, cracking pace, and skilful narrative timing." Kerryn Goldworthy, Sydney Morning Herald

"Dark, twisty and utterly enthralling, You Need to Know is a gripping domestic thriller [and] yet another unputdownable read from the very talented Nicola Moriarty." Better Reading

"Moriarty has delivered another gripping domestic drama about secrets, lies and fractured families. She builds the tension so expertly, with twists and turns leading towards one cracking end, that you may well need to see a chiropractor afterwards." The Australian

"A tense, well-crafted storyline, interesting, multifaceted characters, and a sensational climax." Book'd Out

An absolute pearler.

Having read The Ex I was expecting everything to be turned on it’s head, but I didn’t see any of the twists and turns coming. Another fabulous book that I can unreservedly recommend.

Compelling family drama.

I’ve been trying to widen my listening choices a bit recently and this was certainly a good one! The characters were well drawn and there were a number of storylines which all came together with no glaring plot holes or threads left dangling. The narration was pleasant and easy to listen to, though I did have to rewind a couple of times to catch which female character was supposed to be speaking. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it and I’ll be checking out more books by the same author.

Great female characters

FYI, the book contains stories of sexual assault which might be triggering.

I really liked this book. A story told through the voices of strong female characters.

The audiobook is really good, the narrator did some great voice work.

What a beautifully written book.
Layers of love and pain and suspense.

Missed the mark for me unfortunately..

Although I finished this, I can’t say I was drawn into it too well. I kept waiting for something big that never really came.. I predicted a lot of what did come, but even so.. It seemed disappointing. I would hardly call it a thriller unfortunately. Super disappointing as I love a good Moriarty book!

Not worth the read

As I was listening in the car on a long journey, kept hoping this book would improve but, instead kept fast forwarding the long boring narratives and jumpy story line.

Enjoyable read

Good read. Easy to distinguish voices when Narrator quoted so characters were established early. Recommend as a great holiday read!

Had me hooked from the start

I really enjoyed this story. Felicity Jurd narrated the book brilliantly and the story had me on the edge of my seat from the start. Highly recommend it.
