The Silent Patient meets Gone Girl in this sharp psychological thriller about a psychiatrist with a shocking past and her dangerous new patient.

Brooklyn psychiatrist Dr. Caroline Strange is certain she knows what's best for her patients, her family, and pretty much everyone else, but that all changes when a troubled young man arrives for his appointment and makes a pair of alarming confessions: I am going to kill someone, and I know who you really are.

Dr. Caroline is accustomed to hearing her patients’ deepest, darkest secrets, but it seems Nelson Schack may be one step ahead when detectives show up later that day, inquiring about a missing woman. It looks like Nelson has made good on his threat—yet somehow it’s Dr. Caroline who becomes the prime suspect.

Convinced the police are incompetent, Dr. Caroline takes matters into her own hands, chasing down the elusive Nelson and running headlong into a past she has spent her entire life trying to forget. As she closes in on her target, all the polished pieces of her manicured life splinter when people begin to question who she really is.

Harrowing, unpredictable, and compulsively binge-worthy, the award-winning author Louisa Luna’s Tell Me Who You Are is an utterly gripping psychological thriller that begs the question: Can a person ever really outrun their past?

Critic reviews

"Tell Me Who You Are is the best sort of thriller—caustic, dynamic, unsettling, and scary. Louisa Luna’s novel is sharp as a blade and hard to put down."—Ivy Pochoda, author of Sing Her Down

“Seriously creepy cat-and-mice games ensue when a sharp-thinking therapist tries to track down a patient who may also be a kidnapper . . . [A] page-turning, twisted thriller.”–Kirkus (starred review)

“Cunning . . . Lisa Gardner fans, take note.”–Publishers Weekly

intriguing and twisty

Great, interesting character studies. unfortunately I didn't much like any of them. maybe a bit too much interior monolog, not enough acton, I kept losing thread of conversations in the middle. Luna always has such interesting, original insights though, it's usually worth it! in the end I didn't find the present day plot particularly compelling. it was a bit too thinly veiled as a vehicle to set up an unreliable narrative situation.

Perfection!

So well crafted and actually really funny commentary along with a well designed and unpredicted story line. LOVED IT.

Hard When You Don't Like the Characters

This was a well-written, twisty, suspenseful book. I listened to the last two hours in a "don't care what else is happening, leave me alone I'm READING" session. But I did not like any of the characters, and that makes it really hard to care what happens to them. I love Louisa Luna's Alice Vega series. This book, I could do without.

wow

Such an amazing thrilling book. I was captivated by the first sentence and It continued throughout the entire book. Superb writing, wonderful character building, and story plot. It kept the reader guessing the whole way through but weren't really sure what you're guessing at, It'll make sense when you read the book. Love the female voice but the male voice I felt like he was always asking a question that really high pitch whiny voice. I don't know how to explain it but it seems like everything was a question . Other than that it was wonderfu! I thoroughly enjoyed the read!

A gripping thriller!

Oooh... Dr. Strange wasn't prepared for the turns her day was about to take, and I wasn't prepared for the twists throughout.
