I Know You | Claire McGowan
5 posts | 7 read | 2 to read
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? When Rachel stumbles upon a body in the woods, she knows what she has to do: run. Get away. Do not be found at the scene. Last time, she didn't know, and she ended up 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 the truth about herself well hidden. Because twenty years ago she was someone else--Casey, a young nanny trying to make it as an actress in Los Angeles. When the family she worked for were brutally murdered, all the evidence pointed to her and she went to prison. Back then, she narrowly escaped the death penalty and managed to free herself on appeal. Now she's fighting to save the life she's spent years piecing back together. But with her behaviour raising suspicion and the police closing in, 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...

Mehso-so

This was good enough but I doubt I'll remember it in a few weeks. Rachel finds a body while walking her dog in the woods near her house. As this is not the first body she has found- and as it did not go well for her last time- she runs back home and does not report her find but the police quickly tie her to the murder. We alternate between this events and the previous murders. Between a pick and a so-so.

Three stars because I finished it and it had a good premise but the execution was meh. I listened at 2x speed and thought the narrator was a missmatch, she was good but not for this book.

3.75 stars- I had figured out the murder in present-day pretty early on, but the past murders I didn't figure out. I liked the parallels to true crime stories. As well as the criticism of the racism in the US justice system. It was overall a good book, but not spectacular. Another great narrator!

Rachel finds a body in the woods and is considered a prime suspect because the victim is identified as her boyfriend's estranged wife. 20 years ago, Rachel was Casey, a young nanny trying to make it as an actress in Los Angeles. The family she worked for were brutally murdered and all the evidence pointed to her and she went to prison.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3y
EadieB She narrowly escaped the death penalty and managed to free herself on appeal and changed her name to Rachel. Now she‘s fighting to save the life she‘s spent years putting back together. Was her discovery in the woods really just a coincidence, or is someone framing her for murder? Someone who knows she is Casey, and wants revenge. This book is a hard-to-put-down page turner with interesting characters. 3y
EadieB The chapters switch back and forth from 20 years ago to the present. The suspense builds with surprising twists. It kept me guessing until the very end. I have read and enjoyed all of McGowan's books including her Paula Maguire series except for the Killing House which I will be reading very soon. I would like to thank NetGalley and Thomas and Mercer for a free copy for an honest review. 3y

This is a cleverly plotted & well-written book, but I really didn't like the MC. It's written in dual timelines & both sections keep the reader fully engaged with the story, & although I did guess what had happened, it didn't detract from the reading experience. 4🌟

Thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Amazon Publishing UK/Thomas & Mercer, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
