MelanieTheresa (997 KP) rated I Know Who You Are in Books

Jun 15, 2019

I enjoyed Alice Feeney's first book, Sometimes I Lie, very much, so I was definitely looking forward to reading I Know Who You Are. I was not disappointed!

Meet Aimee Sinclair: the actress everyone thinks they know but can’t remember where from.
Except one person.
Someone knows Aimee very well.
They know who she is and they know what she did.

For fear of spoilers, I'm going to be purposefully vague. I don't want to ruin the ride for anyone!

I will say that this book was disturbing in so many ways, and completely twisted in more than one way. So.Many.Twists.

I enjoyed the back and forth between past and present. It kept me guessing in a way that meant I never truly figured it out, so the big reveal definitely got me.

A great sophomore effort and a great read! Looking forward to seeing more from this author!

Going Out with a Bang

Criminal psychology has always been a very interesting subject for me. Criminal Minds (an amazing tv show for those of you who haven't heard of it) first introduced me to the subject of profiling which is when you can predict certain characteristics of a person based on the crime committed. It reminds me of Sherlock Holmes and the deductions he makes through his observations. Honestly, when they explain how they got to that conclusion, it always seems so simple, but I would have never been able to guess.

Profiling is now used by lots of detectives to narrow down the suspect pool and to try and give them a lead. But it had to start somewhere, and this case was the one that started it all.

Love the characters chemistry and was a bit more sexier lol (0 more)

Needed a Darker Christian Gray Ian would of been a better choice in my opinion as he can go dark looking incredibly sexy (0 more)

Not Like The Book But Not Bad

Contains spoilers, click to show

First off I loved the actress and actor playing the roles both are incredibly and sexy to boot the sex scenes were better in my opinion the story line was a bit more on track with the book but so much was cut out I would love to see the movie made as in the book but take it a bit darker and more erotic only thing I had issue with was christian in the book based to the movie was a way darker person but it's a good movie I'd suggest it to all your friends it's a good date night movie to get you in the mood ?

I think I read one of these Adam Hall (Elleston Trevor's pen name) Quiller books years ago and wasn't really that impressed, but things (and tastes) change. When this one was recommended to me as being 'better than Ian Fleming' I thought I would give it a second chance. Unfortunately, I now remember why - generally speaking - I don't really read spy novels.

Written and set during the mid 80s, this is the time of the Cold War, when the Iron Curtain was still up and when the Iron lady (Margaret Thatcher) was still in power. In this, Quiller has to go undercover into Soviet Russia to investigate the sinking of a US submarine. Told in first person as Quiller remembering the mission, I found this hard to get into, slow moving and - unfortunately - not really that exciting.

Doubt I'll read any more anytime soon.
