Someone Knows

by Lisa Scottoline

Bestselling and award-winning author Lisa Scottoline reaches new heights with this riveting novel about how a single decision can undo a family, how our past can derail our present, and how not guilty doesn't always mean innocent.

Allie Garvey is heading home to the funeral of a childhood friend. Allie is not only grief-stricken, she's full of dread. Because going home means seeing the other two people with whom she shares an unbearable secret.

Twenty years earlier, a horrific incident shattered the lives of five teenagers, including Allie. Drinking and partying in the woods, they played a dangerous prank that went tragically wrong, turning deadly. The teenagers kept what happened a secret, believing that getting caught would be the worst thing that could happen. But time has taught Allie otherwise. Not getting caught was far worse.

Allie has been haunted for two decades by what she and the others did, and by the fact that she never told a soul. The dark secret has eaten away at her, distancing her from everyone she loves, including her husband. Because she wasn't punished by the law, Allie has punished herself, and it's a life sentence.

Now, Allie stands on the precipice of losing everything. She's ready for a reckoning, determined to learn how the prank went so horribly wrong. She digs to unearth the truth, but reaches a shocking conclusion that she never saw coming--and neither will the reader.

A deeply emotional examination of family, marriage, and the true nature of justice, Someone Knows is Lisa Scottoline's most powerful novel to date. Startling, page-turning, and with an ending that's impossible to forget, this is a tour de force by a beloved author at the top of her game.

[Molly J(Cover To Cover Cafe)]

We’ve all been teenagers. We all know that as a teenager, we just want to fit in, be cool, do whatever the cool kids say to do. Sometimes, we do a little too much and we find ourselves in over our heads and struggling with the rights and wrongs. Lisa Scottoline brings us that scenario in Someone Knows, an unforgettable, mind boggling, emotionally gripping thriller of the highest proportions. Every second of this novel will have you wondering, even when you 99% sure you’ve figured it out. Don’t be so sure you’ve got it all figured out.

Allie’s character was deep. She was emotionally moving for me. She was struggling with what happened in the woods with some of her new friends when she was a teenager. Something that changed their lives forever. I can understand that! Secrets from the past aren’t always good for the here and now. They can eat at you and make you feel the incredible guilt, just like Allie is dealing with. Sometimes, friends know more than they should. Sometimes, someone shouldn’t know so much.

Someone Knows is a novel that will make you think, make your grip turn white, and leave you on the edge of your seat. When you reach the end of this perfectly penned novel, you’ll back track to find out just why it ended this way because Scottoline throws a whopper of a punch into the story and you won’t feel it coming. Allie, Sasha, Kyle, David and Julian are life like and you really feel yourself becoming them with each page turn. Each breath you take as you read this novel brings you closer to the truth about the teens and what their lives are like now that they’ve held the secret for so long.

Who knows what happened? Who knows why it happened? Who doesn’t want the truth to be uncovered? Grab this incredible 5 star novel from the uberly talented author , Lisa Scottoline, and read for yourself. Her style of intense mind clustering events never fails to hook me.
