Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. What a great great read which had me hooked from beginning to end and with such a twist. A worthy 5 stars

3.5 rounded up to 4. Very mixed feelings with this book.
The only reason for the low score is that this book made me feel so uncomfortable in some parts that I considered not finishing it. I rarely feel uncomfortable reading so this was quite disturbing.
The reason I did carry on was because of the plot, I needed to know what was going on, it seemed so bizarre.
The quality of the writing was really good and helped my decision in carrying on with this book.

Thank you to Net Galley for the opportunity to read this advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

When Ciara is five, she goes missing in Ireland. Thirty years later, Aimee's husband goes missing in London. These two stories are told in alternating chapters, bringing with them harrowing details of an abusive eighties childhood, juxtaposed with the money and fame of a modern-day celebrity lifestyle.

I got completely engrossed in this book, desperately trying to fit together the two narratives to find out what was happening in the present. The novel becomes more twisted and dark as it progresses, as do many of the characters. What starts as merely a bad childhood, eventually turns into a Psycho-esque thriller.

It's very difficult to say much more without writing spoilers. However, without giving anything away, the end of the novel is really worth waiting for!

I discovered Alice Feeney last summer when I read her debut novel, Sometimes I Lie. On the back of that. I was very excited to find I Know Who You Are.

Now I could give you a synopsis, but if you've come this far, you've already ready at least one already. So here's what you really need to know.... I opened the book on my Kindle last evening before going to sleep. It hooked me enough to know I should sleep, but could read a bit more first thing in the morning. It's about 20 hours later, and I've slept, woken, worked, done chores, and managed to read the entire novel at an addict's pace because I had to take it everywhere with me because I NEEDED to know what next. From 1987 to 2017, just how did Aimee get to where she's got, and why was she so broken, yet on the brink of such success, and why on earth would someone want to stop her.

Feeney is settling very comfortably into a style of thriller where the reader really doesn't know which path she is going to lead you down. Occasionally it is the one more travelled; I did make some accurate predictions, but mostly it's like some undiscovered ravine in the wilds of the Amazon, twisting and frolicking and backtracking enough to know you're on an unstoppable whitewater raft with no way to control which direction you're heading.

Suffice to say, you should be very satisfied with the result, coz you'll still be in one piece!

This novel introduces Aimee (alias Ciara). Her husband is missing, but his keys, wallet, phone and shoes are still in situ at home. Aimee is a suspect. The evidence against her is compelling. Either, she is telling lies to the police, or she has forgotten. It’s unclear for a while. Even Aimee, damaged by her childhood is unsure if she’s killed him. Put that against the fact that she’s an actor and her current role in her latest film is of a woman getting rid of her husband – it becomes complex. She’s apt to emulate and live inside the character she’s acting. Has she killed her husband? Thank you to NetGalley and HQ

Aimee is an actress on the verge of stardom when her husband goes missing, along with the contents of her bank account. Who is behind it and what do they know about Aimee?

A gripping plot and a cleverly written duel-timeline story of Aimee today and as a child, explaining why she has become the adult she is, make for an excellent follow up to Sometimes I Lie. I kept saying to myself 'just one more chapter' but each chapter makes you HAVE to read on. The final twist is as disturbing as it is unexpected, but some readers may find it a little too unbelievable when compared with the rest of the book.

I look forward to more from Alice Feeney.

I Know Who You Are is a clever psychological thriller told in two timelines ,it tells the story of Aimee an upcoming young actress who comes home one day to find her husband missing but his phone ,wallet and coat still there, from then on the story grips you and never lets go .The story twists and turns this way and that, just when you think you know what is going to happen something else is thrown in the mix .I did find the story very dark and at times horrifying and disturbing and sometimes quite difficult to believe and the ending well I don't quite know what to say !! Many thanks to the Publisher ,the Author and Net Galley for my copy in return for an honest review

When Aimee’s husband goes missing her celebrity and fame means that everyone is watching her every move as she struggles to deal with what may have happened. But can her memories truly be trusted?

I Know Who You Are is a deep and complex thriller with a sinister and dark undertone running throughout which culminates in an ending I did not see coming! I really enjoyed the use of alternating flashbacks to tell the story of Aimee’s childhood to show you how she became the woman she is today. I liked the narrative voice of Aimee’s younger self and how she was trying to work out what phrases and words meant in a scary and menacing new world. I also enjoyed how unsettled and confused you become as a reader trying to work out the facts from the fiction with this very unreliable narrator. The plot is nicely crafted and builds pace and suspense nicely, making you change your mind repeatedly about what you think will happen next.

However, there were some writer quirks that I didn’t like as much and the beginning few chapters almost put me off the book completely. Aimee starts off speaking in never-ending clichés which just felt cheesy and did little to put me in the right frame of mind to introduce me to the story. For example: ‘It certainly changed our bank balance, but our love was already overdrawn’. Eurgh! Luckily these quickly calmed down. Alice Feeney also really enjoys segueing chapters together by tying the last phrase from one chapter to the first phrase of the next. Although this is used well in places, it started to get a bit tenuous after a while as she struggled to stretch to get to a link – it should have perhaps been used sparingly to give a better effect.

Overall I Know Who You Are is an extremely dark thriller that will keep you hooked and guessing throughout. Thank you to NetGalley & HQ for a chance to read the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley, Alice Feeney and HQ for an ARC of this book, in exchange for an honest review.

I'm really pleased I received this book as an ARC, and I really enjoyed this one. I wasn't blown away by Sometimes I Lie and I am glad to say this book is so much better than that one!

I devoured this in a couple of days. It is easy to read and a page turner. It didn't sacrifice itself for the sake of plot twists and an unbelievable turn of events, which is one of the main reasons that I liked it.

I did kind of guess what was going to happen at the end. But I wasn't ever annoyed or infuriated with the outcome, and I wasn't a hundred percent sure the whole time. I read a lot of thrillers so this happens to me a lot, so I was happy with the way it ended!

I will definitely recommend this one to my thriller-loving friends! Bring on the next one!

4 stars!

This is a tale of two stories. One is about Aimee Sinclair - a well known actress who is on the verge of becoming famous. One day towards the end of her shoot, Aimee comes home from filming to find her husbands mobile phone and wallet on the dining table. He never goes anywhere without them. When she goes to her favourite coffee shop the next morning, her card gets declined. The bank tells her that her account has been emptied. She suspects her husband but the bank says that it was Aimee who withdrew the money. Alternatively with Aimee's story is that of a little girl who wandered away from home.

This is one roller coaster ride you won't want to get off. This story is told from the present day where Aimee is an actress, to the past when she was just six years old. This is another book where you can't say too much as it would give away far too many spoilers. I kept telling myself just one more chapter then I must get things done, but I could not put it down as there were so many cliff hangers at the end of the chapters. There were parts that made me feel sick to my stomach though.

I would like to thank NetGalley, HQ and the author Alice Feeney for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book, felt it got a little lost in the middle, but I loved how the story was split into 2 parts and the twist at the end was a good one!

Let’s just take a moment ....That ending !?!? OMG.

This thriller is dark and shocking . I could not turn the pages fast enough , just when you think you know , you will be wrong.
This book kept me guessing right to the end.
I Know Who You Are is book that will have you thinking about it long after you have finished it.
If you love psychological and suspense thrillers then you need this book in your life . Be prepared to be shocked you have been warned!
Set in one of my favourite ways , alternating dual time lines between 2017 and 1987 we meet Aimee Sinclair a six year child and Aimee Sinclair the actress everyone thinks they know but can’t remember where from.
When Aimee comes home and discovers her husband is missing the police think she’s hiding something and they’re right, she is – but perhaps not what they thought. Aimee has a secret she’s never shared, and yet, she suspects that someone knows. As she struggles to keep her career and sanity intact, her past comes back to haunt her in ways more dangerous than she could have ever imagined.
But I know exactly who you are. I know what you’ve done. And I am watching you.⠀⠀⠀

5 Stars from me!

There's a song by the Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow, and is what this book is BOOM, BOOM, POW!

I loved 'I Know Who You Are' and I devoured it in one day, I just had to keep reading and going back to it as I couldn't for the life of me fathom how it was going to turn out.

I was hooked very early on and found both story strands to be equally compelling and brilliantly clever even though they each have a completely different pace and tone. Alice Feeney has created hugely engaging story and I am thrilled to note this is her second book so there is another out there for me to read too.

I've just spotted from her twitter bio that she's had 10 years of rejections - wow, I guess there are some agents out there who are kicking themselves now!

Also, this book is SO devious, SO clever - you know you can sometimes win competitions to have 'lunch with an author' (I saw one earlier today in fact to win lunch with Lee Child - something I could never do as all I would end up doing is saying 'Really? Really, Tom Cruise? Are you kidding me?' which is probably rude) well suffice it to say if you end up going for lunch with Alice Feeney's dark and ingenuitive mind it might make sense to let someone know where you are!

Synopsis: l Know Who You Are is the brilliant tale of two stories. One is about Aimee Sinclair—well-known actress on the verge of being full-on famous. If you saw her, you’d think you knew her. One day towards the near-end of her shoot on her latest film, Aimee comes home from filming to find her husband’s cell phone and wallet on the dining room table. He never goes anywhere without them. But he’s nowhere to be found. She’s not too concerned—they had a huge fight the night before. They both said things they didn’t mean. He might have done things he didn’t mean, things she can’t forget. Even though she has a history of supposedly forgetting. After all, she’s a very good actress.The next morning she goes for her morning run and then goes to her favorite coffee shop. But her card is denied. When she calls the bank they say her account has been emptied of $10,000. She immediately suspects her husband. But they say no, it was Aimee herself who closed out the account. And thus begins a bizarre rabbit hole into which Aimee finds herself falling where nothing is at it seems.Alternating with Aimee’s story is that of a little girl who wandered away from home. We always tell our kids not to talk to strangers or bad things will happen. Well, bad things happen.In I Know Who You Are, Alice Feeney proves that she is a master at brilliantly complicated plots and twists after twists.

I received a free ARC of this book from Netgalley in return for a review.
A one sitting read! The story gripped me from the start and although I guessed the twist (and what a twist!) at about 80% in, it was still brilliantly executed. The characters were well developed, even the minor characters like rival actress Alicia White and trashy journalist Jennifer Jones who readers will love to hate!
An absolute must must read for fans of psychological thrillers.

Aimee Sinclair is just on the edge of making it big time as an actor. Right now she’s the sort of person whom you think you know but can’t quite remember where from, but that’s all about to change. That’s a little worrying for Aimee as life has changed for her before and she knows that she’s not really Aimee Sinclair, she’s Ciara: Aimee is simply the name she was forced to take when she was snatched as a child. That’s not at the front of her mind though when she comes home one day and finds that her husband, Ben Bailey, has disappeared. Disappeared completely. Along with considerable funds from their current account.

You probably won’t warm to Aimee: you might even wonder, as I did, if she’s on the autistic spectrum, but then you think back to what she’s had to go through and you try to imagine how ‘’you’’ would have coped. She’s very rational, encountering every problem head on and she knows that ‘’ignorance isn’t bliss, it’s fear postponed to a later date.’’ She has no family that she knows of and friends are in short supply. There’s no shortage of competitors and fellow actor Alicia White will go to any extreme to unnerve Aimee and even her co-star, Jack Anderson might not be all he seems.

In fact no one seems to be quite who they appear to be. Even the Inspector who is investigating Ben’s disappearance looks rather childlike in comparison to the detective constable who accompanies her. Aimee consoles herself with the thought that she just pretending, as she has been all her life. Nothing fundamental has really changed.

Did I enjoy the book? Yep - I did. I didn’t really have time to think about what was happening. By the time you get to the bottom of the first page you know that your real problem is getting the page turned over quickly enough. The characters are all convincing, which is saying something when so few of them are who they really appear to be and just about every chapter brings a shocking twist. I wasn’t ‘’completely’’ convinced by the denouement, but it didn’t spoil my enjoyment of the book and I’ll be looking a Alice Feeney’s back catalogue as well as looking forward to her next book.

I’d like to thank the publishers for making a review copy available to the Bookbag.

I Know Who You Are is a tense, twisty and terrifying thriller. The characters are vibrant and different and some are so well drawn that I feel like I've spent a whole series with them instead of just one book. I was like a kid in a sweet shop in the childhood chapters, having been a little girl in the Eighties it all felt so real. These chapters glowed for me.

Most of the book is absolutely enthralling and is right up there with the best psychological thrillers, other parts were just too hard to believe (is she blind?) or not possible (that "legal" item under the bed). I could have done with a bit less repetition in the baddie's chapters because it left no way you could miss the big twist. However, these didn't stop me enjoying the book because there is much to love.

The writing is brilliant, Feeny can paint a picture in so few elegantly chosen words. Characters thoughts and feelings are displayed or hidden in the turn of a sentence. Some of her images and ideas will stay with me. The writing style is so lovely that I will read anything she writes and I'm impatient to read her first novel and the many I hope will follow.

Wow. A roller-coaster of a book. I read, and very much enjoyed, Feeney's debut novel, and this one didn't disappoint. I was hooked from the start and could not stop reading, loving every moment of the journey along the way. It is extremely dark in places, and touches on some very difficult themes, but is done well.

Aimee Sinclair is an actress. When her husband goes missing, she's forced to question everything she knows about herself. But her 'self' is a fabrication of it's own, due to the events of her childhood.

I didn't love the ending as much as I would've liked, but it was a shock twist that worked and was still enjoyable enough to make this a 5 star read!

This was full of twists and turns and was truly a rollercoaster of a read.
Whilst I loved the beginning and the premise, they left me wanting to hurtle through the book to find out what was going to happen and what on earth was going on. I felt that towards the end it got a bit gory and the twists got a bit too unbelievable. It was almost as though they were there to shock and not to progress the story.
There was also a little too much introspection from the main character for my liking and a little too many cliches.
But altogether it was a good read.

Really enjoyed this book. One of those reads that you think about long after, trying to work out the twists and turns.. Amazing story line but a little disappointed at then end, what the main character to have someone explain that the first death wasn't her fault!

This book was fantastic: just when you thought you had a handle on what was happening, the goalposts changed and you were wrong footed. I loved the plot twists and the clever use of actors to disguise and blur the truth. Not for the faint hearted, but a deliciously dark drama for all those who enjoy a psychological thriller.
