I Know You

By: Claire McGowan

Narrated by: Esther Wane

In this tense thriller from the bestselling author of What You Did and The Other Wife, a woman finds a dead body. Will she make the same mistake as last time?

Rachel lives a quiet life in the peaceful countryside, content with her perfect man and her lovely dog. But when she stumbles upon a body in the woods one day, all that shatters. She knows what she has to do: run. Don’t get accused of murder. But when this victim is identified as her boyfriend’s estranged wife, Rachel realises she’s already the prime suspect.

With mounting evidence against her, Rachel’s only hope is to keep her past well hidden. Because before she was Rachel, she was Casey, a young nanny trying to make it as an actress in Los Angeles—and when the family she worked for were brutally murdered, she narrowly escaped the death penalty. Now, she’ll do anything to save the life she’s spent years piecing back together.

But the police are closing in, and Rachel can’t help wondering: Was her discovery in the woods really just an awful coincidence, or is someone framing her for murder? Someone who knows who she is, and wants revenge…

Critic reviews

“This tense, twisty thriller keeps the reader on tenterhooks right through to its breathless ending.”—Good Housekeeping

“You’ll be guessing until the very end.”—Woman & Home

“An addictive pulse-pounder.”—Heat magazine

Entertaining listen, enjoyed the story

Fun listen and enjoyed the performance overall, though the reader couldn’t really do an American accent, which was kind of distracting.

I mean…

I’m not done, so this isn’t a full review, but I find it ridiculous in a story about a murder that the accused person is *shocked* at the idea that she should look at who might want to kill the victim, instead of worry about being set up. I mean… isn’t it a forgone conclusion that you consider who wants the victim gone? Silly.

Interesting but Depressing

I listened to the entire book, as I was interested enough, but I felt the story was depressing. This woman keeps finding herself in horrible circumstances and makes horrible decisions, leaving herself in deep trouble.

So many turns

Kept me guessing until the very end. Suspenseful but no intense detail of crimes. Loved the back and forth between now & then

Really enjoyed the twists and turns.

Interesting parallel stories. A little predictable but we’ll do e. Performance is engaging and I couldn’t quit listening!
