I KNOW YOU KNOW is it a mystery. It is not an exciting one and seems pretty bland at times during the first half of the book. But it becomes more and more of a page turner until the last couple of chapters become a delightful surprise.

Twenty years ago two boys were murdered. Although someone was found guilty of the murders and put away, was he really responsible?

Now a 20-year-old skeleton of a man is unearthed near where these murders occurred. Are they related?

Although the subject matter is definitely meant for an adult, the writing style often sounds young adult, which bores this reader. Some adults prefer “easy reading,” so this may not detract you. It is, however, one of the reasons I do not rate I KNOW YOU KNOW highly.

I prefer books that are not so easy to put down as this one is. But, because it does become a really good mystery with an unpredictable finish, I am tempted to call I KNOW YOU KNOW a four-star book. In all honesty, though, I have to consider that it bored me in the beginning. So I rate it three.

If you are not put off by a book with a YA writing style, consider this, and try I KNOW YOU KNOW.
