I KNOW WHO YOU ARE

by Alice Feeney

(HQ £7.99, 302 pp) aCtrEss aimee sinclair’s husband suddenly disappears and the police are suspicious of her behaviour. But aimee has secrets they couldn’t even begin to imagine, and these are gradually revealed to us in a riveting dual narrative that switches between her present life and her traumatic childhood.

aimee’s smart- talking openness immediately draws the reader in, despite her fondness for cookie-cutter mottos such as: ‘the lies we tell ourselves are always the most dangerous.’

there is a touch of reese Witherspoon’s legally Blonde character about aimee. she is a touching — if untrustworthy — heroine.

the showbusiness backdrop is convincing, and there is a constant flow of excellent one-liners. But best of all is the superb no-holds-barred plotting. this story romps towards a startling and totally unexpected conclusion, which will satisfy the most experienced thriller fans.
