I Know What You Did Last Summer

By: Lois Duncan

Narrated by: Dennis Holland

The novel that inspired the classic horror film and the 2025 major motion picture starring Jennifer Love Hewitt and Madelyn Cline.

Four reckless teens fight to outsmart a brutal killer determined to avenge a young boy's death in this suspenseful thriller.

After a party, four teens are in a hit-and-run accident that results in a young boy's death. Unable to deal with the consequences, they leave the body behind and make an anonymous phone call to the police, tipping them off.

The group makes a secret pact to bury the memory of that night and never speak of it again, but when one of the girls receives a note that reads "I know what you did last summer," their dark lie is unearthed. With twists and turns at every corner, they'll have to fight to stay steps ahead of a killer determined to make them pay.

"Does anyone write scarier books than Lois Duncan? I don't think so." ―R.L. Stine, New York Times bestselling author of the Goosebump and Fear Street series

Excellent light suspense

Nice teen drama with some good twists and turns. The 90's "updates" are clunky--bring back the vintage version and you'll have a 4 star book.

The climax

I liked how well he read the book and how he emphasized the way that they talked

Good Story

I didn’t know this was a book when I watched the movie and was interested in seeing how close the story would be. The movie is completely different!! Like completely different there are minor similarities between the book and the movie but the book is so much better to me than the movie which is usually the case. Definitely work a read/listen I listened to the entire thing in one sitting.

I loved this book

I loved this book I loved how there was so much detail from the narrator and how the voice changed.

I love this book, I've read it multiple times and it's so much better than the movie.

Some of the twists in the story are great, and it's not a slasher as the movie portrays.
