This was an unexpectedly great read! It was an excellent representation of the domestic suspense sub genre, as it contained many familiar tropes I love and expect to find in such books. I was captivated by the story from beginning to end. There are so many surprises throughout and I finished it in a single day.

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for providing me with an ARC of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

This was a very well written book. Keep in mind that it can be disturbing for some readers depending on the traumas or life events one is having. Look up trigger warnings before reading.

Lily and Violet are two sisters who have been lied to their whole lives and whose family has been keeping those lies and betrayals hidden away. Determined to let it all come to the light, Violet decides to take matters into her own hands. This one had lots of twists and turns, and it was a very good read!

Thank you so much for this ARC and the opportunity to be able to read another of Olsen’s amazing books.

I found this to be very disturbing, but it could just be my life and the similar traumas. It was well written, and the fact that I was disturbed is a testament to the talent of the author.

First time reading a novel from Gregg Olsen and I was happy that I received an arc from him. The writing was great but the subject matter would not be for everyone. It would be a great read for a book club as there are many instances that would bring different opinions out. I look forward to reading more from Gregg Olsen.

I always thoroughly enjoy Gregg Olsen’s books, and this one was no exception! Lily and Violet are two sisters who have been lied to their whole lives and whose family has been keeping those lies and betrayals hidden away. Determined to let it all come to the light, Violet decides to take matters into her own hands. This one had lots of twists and turns, and it was a very good read! Thank you so much for this ARC and the opportunity to be able to read another of Olsen’s amazing books.

Wow. This book isn’t/ wasn’t anything I expected! I read it in 3 days. And wow. This is my first book by this author, and I definitely will be reading more!

This was a good read. I would recommend it to anyone that likes True crime books. I would give it four out of five stars.

Strong novel dealing with a difficult subject matter - another great book from Gregg Olsen

Thank you Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer for this ARC in exchange of an honest review. This book handles difficult subjects , I definitely should have looked up the trigger warnings before I read this. Written well, but very slow pace. I DNF at 40% because I just couldn’t get through all the heaviness.

I’m a big fan of all things true crime, especially books. This one was very intriguing and I found myself having a hard time putting it down.

“Revenge, justice or closure? Family crimes can’t be hidden forever in this provocative novel suspense by #1 New York Times bestselling author Gregg Olsen”

Family secrets always fester and become something that has to be dealt with one way or another. In this book Violet finds her own way to deal with the past. Lots of great twists and turns and the end was great!

This was goooddddd. Gregg Olsen is becoming an auto read for me. If you tell was incredible, and this did not let me down.

When Violet's grandfather shows up to her wedding, she is furious. Many years earlier, her grandfather (aka Papa) hurt her in the most unspeakable way. Violet's sister knows the truth. Violet's mother and grandmother are in denial. During the wedding reception, Papa suffers a fatal heart attack. Violet can't help but feel happy. After all these years, and all the hate, Papa is finally out of her life.

The story alternates between the past and the aftermath of Papa's death. We learn what happened all those years ago and how it shaped Violet and her family. In the present, Violet is determined to move on with her life now that Papa is dead. Does she want revenge, justice, or closure?

This book deals with some pretty dark and heavy issues. However, the author handles these issues in very well and in a realistic manner. I enjoyed how the author portrayed how various characters were affected by these difficult themes. Again, this felt very realistic.

Overall, this is a gripping read. I liked Violet's character and the exploration of what past trauma can do to people.

Thank you Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was a very good book! I was so surprised at the twists and turns in this book. I read it in one day as I couldn't put it down! I would definitely recommend this book.

✨I Know Where You Live by Gregg Olsen✨⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

📖 I received this digital copy of I Know Where You Live from @netgalley! This is the second book of Gregg Olsen’s I have read. The first being “If You Tell” which is non-fiction, this was my first fiction by him.⁣
⁣
Violet is reclaiming the power stolen from her as a child. Predator by predator, she's coming for them.⁣

To be honest I was a little disappointed in this story. I really enjoyed my first read but this one kind of fell short. The writing was a bit more crude than it needed to be and I didn’t really connect with the characters. It was just 𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘺 in my opinion 🤷🏼‍♀️

A hard to read topic involving sex abuse and family secrets. My first read by this author certainly won’t be the last.

2.5 Stars rounded up
Take heed of the trigger warnings for this book: incest, rape, abuse

I ended up not enjoying this one as much as I thought I would. The premise sounded good, but reading it was a different story.

None of the characters were really likeable, so it was hard to want to keep reading. This was hard to get through sometimes because the subject matter was heavy. I'm still grappling with whether I thought what Violet did was the "right" thing or the "wrong" thing.

Thank you, Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer, for the eARC. All opinions are my own.

I like this author's writing style. This topic wasn't my favorite but his crime novels are terrific. I did not see many of the twists in this book. I guess because I've recently met some offenders this was uncomfortable for me. It's good for me to be reminded these crimes never go away. Gregg Olsen is a great storyteller.

I thought this was well written, gripping, and an interesting read. It kept my interest throughout, and had me turning the pages. Strong writing, characters and plot. A good read!

Have you ever read a book, really loved it, and just really disliked pretty much all of the characters in the book? That’s how I felt about I Know Where You Live by Gregg Olsen. I loved the book, loved the premise of the book, but really didn’t like the characters.

Violet and Lily were just irksome to me. Violet’s holier-than-thou attitude and Lily just basically doing her best to ignore everything that was going on just annoyed the daylights out of me.

I understood Rose and her mother’s dynamic because I lived through that time when you didn’t speak of things like sexual assault/molestation – even though we got the talks about “if someone touches you inappropriately, tell someone”, no one really did… it just wasn’t something you did. So I totally understand Rose and her mother’s dynamic in that respect.

So if I didn’t like the characters, what kept me reading the book? The plot. The things that were going on with Violet, the things she was doing. The things that were alluded to in regards to her grandfather’s death. The possible plot twists, which came and did not disappoint. That’s what kept me reading this book.

I’m not going to say much else about it. The plot alone was worth 4 stars. If I’d liked the characters, I might have given it 5 stars.
