Review: Someone Knows

Someone Knows by Lisa Scottoline
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lisa scottoline is by far one of my favorite authors of all time. I always get excited when I find one of her books I have not read. This one does not disappoint.

This book focuses around Allie Garvey a girl returning to her hometown for a friends funeral. A town she has not been to in the past 20 years. A secret she ran away from 20 years ago. Allie was an outsider then and she is an outsider now. She’s never gotten over the guilt about what happened and it’s affected every aspect of her life. When she reconnects with the last two remaining students, she sees the mean kids are now the mean adults. Are we already who we are going to be as adults by the time we are teenagers?

You know from the start that five kids went into the woods and four came out, so as each character is introduced you wonder if that’s the one. Every time they go into the woods you wonder if that’s the time. The suspense just keeps building.

Through the book each character’s perspective is shown and their story is told. Everything starts coming together and you just cant stop page turning, because you are now dying to know what happened.

As the story progresses Allie learns some new facts which just adds to the suspense and makes you question, do really know our family, our friends? Would you keep a secret to protect your family? What happens when the secret is told and everyone’s lives come crashing down?

What would you have done.

Great book!
