Emotionally engaging and shot-through with edgy paranoia, Susan Lewis’ I Know It's You will have fans of female-centred thrillers on the edge of their seats as past events come back to bite a publisher in terrifying style.
On the face of it, wealthy publisher Marina seems to have it all. A handsome second husband, who happens to be the company’s CEO. Loving thirteen-year-old twin daughters. A big house in an expensive part of London. A weekend home in the Cotswolds. But she also has secrets, as comes to light when the first chapter of a manuscript is sent to her by an esteemed literary agent, who’s also one of her closest friends.
After reading a few instalments of the novel, Marina’s blood runs cold — who’s the anonymous, shot-calling writer? And how come their manuscript seems to be a version of events from her past?
The novel-within-a-novel structure creates tremendous tension and intrigue, putting the reader in Marina’s shoes as she reads the submission episodically. As her paranoia mounts, Marina decides:“What she knows for certain is that there’s a deeply sinister intention behind this book. It’s aimed straight at her…So what do they have to gain? What do they know? What have they discovered to make the sending of dolls and the carefully crafted retelling of an old story seem like a good idea?”
With Marina pushed to the edge, her life on the verge of imploding, this highly readable story of revenge, buried secrets, suspicion and ambition rises to a thrilling crescendo.
