Book Review: I Know You by Annabel Kantaria

I Know You by Annabel Kantaria
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I wonder how many readers out there remember the old song from Sesame Street? you know the one that goes,One of these things is not like the others,one of these things is not quite the same. Well almost all the relatable,vivid characters in this twist packed thriller have secrets,lie and are totally untrustworthy. But one of them is so many sandwiches short of a picnic,they need to be thrown into a padded cell and the key conveniently lost somewhere were no one will ever find it,ever,ever again.What the reader has to figure out is which one of our cast of characters is the victim and which one or is it more than one is our psychopath. We have Taylor who had recently moved to the UK from the USA,she is married to handsome Jake and is heavily pregnant with their first child.Then there's Taylor's new BFF Anna, they met after Taylor decided to join a walking group,hoping to do exactly what she did do,find a new best friend.Anna is married to Rob and is also pregnant.Taylor also becomes friendly with another walker called Simon.There is also Sarah and Caroline,two women that Taylor becomes friendly with after Sarah invites her to join their book club.

Most of the story is voiced by Taylor,a complex character who I struggled to like at times. I had my doubts and suspicions about all of the characters as this riveting story unfolded,the misdirections and suspicious behaviour of the characters certainly keep the reader guessing. The feelings of tension and anxiety increasing as the story moves towards the final shocking,nail biting confrontation. Throughout the book there are chapters that give the reader a insight into the twisted mind of the devious,cunning,manipulative antagonist.It was really scary and eye opening how much this person was able to learn about their intended victims life through that person's activity on social media. You don't stop and think how much you are giving away just by posting that innocent picture of the tree or plant in your driveway that also includes a shot of your car or front door.The selfie that you post as you enter a park,shop,pub,hotel or any other location,the selfie that informs any potential stalker exactly where you are. Anything that we post on line gives people who intend to harm us a open window into our lives.

This thriller is not fast paced but it is #creepy,#intense and #Thoughtprovoking. This is the first book that I have read by this author and it most definitely will not be my last.
