I'm weak for stories about people behaving badly, especially upper middle class to upper class people. There's something so satisfying about it, and this books has it in spades. You know from the beginning that Anton was murdered- but by who? And why? That's the major question, but there are other, serious questions to be answered, as well. Where is Scott? And why did he disappear the night he planned to tell his wife, Amy, all that he had gotten tangled up in? Just when you think you have all the answers, the last chapter throws everything off, completely changing everything you just read. This was a really fun, well-written, well-thought-out book, and I really enjoyed it. I'm excited to see what Aggie Blum Thompson writes next.
Thank you to NetGalley and Tor Publishing Group for providing this book, with my honest review below.
How great was You Deserve to Know? Trust me, you need to read it and find out for yourself. A thriller that focuses on the mysteries in an affluent neighborhood, this had at least three to four different plot lines that intrigued and worked together. But the best part was really the end, the literal final pages, and I encourage anyone who loves a strong twist to devour this book to enjoy the feeling of wanting to read it all again to see if you can pick up on any clues.
You Deserve to Know follows three neighbors an and friends. Aimee, Lisa, and Gwen as they navigate their friendships (and frenemyships) through the suspected murder of Gwen’s husband while Aimee’s own husband is clearly hiding something from her. Did the two men get caught up in a conspiracy? Who could have murdered Gwen’s husband, Anton, and why would they do it? Will Lisa kill Gwen before anyone can find out?
All these questions and more are answered in this delightful book which will appeal to fans of the genre!
