Paranoid,anxious Natalie,motherly Mowenna,serious,reliable Nigel and sweet,anxious Daniel. Four individuals who have flats in a large house in St Ives and who over time have become like a little family. Each one has their own personal issues,each has hidden secrets but is one of them not who they appear to be?
When the friends start receiving postcards from someone who seems to know a lot of personal information about them,mistrust,paranoia and suspension starts to spread throughout the house.
The tension builds,culminating in a deadly confrontation and one of the most shocking,mind blowing,unexpected twists that I have read in a very long time.
The chapters alternated between Natalie,Moweena and Daniel,three believable,complex characters who had very realistic issues. Sarah Simpson's descriptions of the daily struggles faced by people who live with mental issues were spot on. I know because I personally live with anxiety and paranoia and know how tough it is to get through the days when the anxious part of your brain is attempting to convince you that things are not as they appear to be or someone is lying to you and you are wrong to trust them. All four of the main characters had flaws but also had redeemable qualities. They were all likeable but I also had my doubts about each one of them as the twists and turns of the story unfolded. Apart from.the housemates,there was also three other characters who could have been the sender of the cards. There was Natalie's ex convict father and her seemingly,controlling boyfriend Mark who was also hiding a secret. There was also.my least favourite character,nasty,twisted,sinister Jacob. But who was sending the cards and why?
I Know You're There is a enthralling,character driven thriller with a very ingenious title and tag line and a story that keeps the reader guessing until towards the end of the book. Sarah Simpson lives in beautiful Cornwall which is where she also sets her stories. You can tell from her breath taking descriptions of the gorgeous scenery and settings that feature in her well written,complex,unpredictable thrillers that she really loves where she lives. I love Sarah Simpson's books and would happily recommend them.to anyone who.enjoys reading seriously,gripping psychological thrillers.
