Aimee Sinclair is an up and coming actress, but her adoring public have no idea of the secrets she hides about her past life. But her past and present look like they may collide as her world turns upside down.

Her husband, Ben, who she wasn’t on best of terms with, to say the least, disappears, leaving a message – “Sorry”. But when she reports it to the police, there seem to be problems with her story. Why can she not produce any photographs of her husband, for example? But keeping the secrets of her past may well end up condemning her in the present. Someone, it seems, knows exactly who Aimee Sinclair really is, and is determined to punish her…


Another quick review due to the Flynn project. This is the second book from Alice Feeney, another standalone thriller following the highly enjoyable Sometimes I Lie. The narrative is split between past and present, with a change in narrator for one of the sections when we hit the halfway point. The previous book was full of twists and surprises and this one is similar.

The book kept me hooked, with a number of surprises in store for the reader, definitely a superior example of the modern day psychological thriller/unreliable narrator. While obviously when reading such a book, one has to put believability to one side at times, but there are a couple of things that some readers might find hard to swallow. One of them is whether Aimee would not have noticed… something – fair enough, Dame Agatha herself did something even more extreme – but the narrative trick that seems to have been done by the perpetrator in order to fool someone reading about it was a little too tricksy for me.

A page-turning read, with an extremely dark ending, but not as strong as Sometimes I Lie.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest, independent review.

Aimee is an actress, gradually increasing her celebrity status and getting more interest from directors.

Aimee arrives home from filming and finds her husband Ben missing. A note on the table reads “Sorry”....but for what? The police think Aimee is hiding something and they are right...for Aimee is used to acting in her personal life too...she’s played another role, living a lie, all her life.

But what she doesn’t realise is that other people are not who they say that are, and also seem to be playing roles.

By the time I got to the end of the first chapter, I knew I was going to enjoy this book! I was kept guessing throughout the book, always being proved wrong when I thought I was right.

Two timelines run parallel throughout the majority of the book - Aimee as a child, Aimee as an adult. I’m not always a big fan of this and find it confusing, but it worked well with certain points from Aimee’s childhood being dropped in to the childhood chapters at just the right moment to help the reader try to guess where the storyline was going (even if, in my case, the reader did get it wrong!).

I thought I had got to the point where I had guessed where the book was going...but then a big, massive, shocking (and, frankly, sickening) twist was dropped at the last minute!

A brilliant read for all psychological thriller fans!

Thanks to Net Galley and HQ for an ARC of this book in exchange for a review.
Aimee’s career as a movie star is taking off, professionally things could not be better. Her marriage however is a different story, Ben seems to resent her recent success.
Aimee arrives home after a long day filming, she calls out to Ben, but the house is silent, she sees his keys, wallet and even his shoes still sitting, his car is parked in the garage, there is a large bouquet of flowers on the table, a note with just one word ‘sorry’. Where though is Ben?
The story moves between the past and the present.
In the past Aimee is a six year old child and the story is very cleverly told by Aimee, what happened to her after she wondered too far from home.
The present becomes scary as things start to go wrong and the police suspect her of fowl play, she doesn’t know who to trust.
There are many dark twist turns to this page turner which certainly keeps the reader guessing, I was however a little disappointed with the ending.

Lots of twists and turns in this gripping thriller, although I confess I was a little disappointed in the ending.
Well written with sympathetic characters it’s definitely worth the read.
Aimee is an up and coming actress with a dark past. She was abducted by Maggie from Ireland as a young child and brought to England - a replacement for a child who died. It’s a little odd that there seems to have been no effort to find her but ignore that and there is lots to keep you engaged. Her new home is a betting shop and life does not run smoothly. Things come to a head when there is a botched armed raid on the shop.
Her childhood experiences leave her scarred and lacking in self belief, she marries Ben who is coercive and manipulative who suddenly disappears. Aimee becomes a suspect and her life turned upside down.
I enjoyed reading this.

Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read this novel in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first Alice Feeney book I have read and it was an OK book I personally wasn't blown away. The story follows Aimee Sinclair who is a mediocre actress who after an argument with her husband and comes home from work the following day to find that he has disappeared. Aimee goes to the police but quickly becomes as suspect as its clear she is hiding many secrets from her past. The book follows a nice format telling the story of Aimee's past which I acyually liked for me this was the strongest element of the book however I felt the current day narrative was lacking. I also really disliked the final twist. Incest was an awful conclusion and I can't believe of all the options running through my mind this was the one the author went with I can't say I will be keen to read another book.

I Know Who You Are by Alice Feeney is a tense psychological thriller. It centres around an actress who had a very difficult and complicated background and who is determined that her past remains secret. She comes across as vulnerable and somehow, at the same time, ruthless.

The plot is complex, almost to the point of having too much going on; the characters lack some substance and are very much secondary to Aimee/Ciara (the main character).

While the tension kept me hooked, I didn’t really feel completely immersed in the storyline and guessed the big twist at the end.

I did enjoy this book - it kept me guessing. I didn't really warm to Aimee in the beginning, but as the story unravelled, I understood her insecurities and felt sorry in some way for her. I did not see the twist coming at the end and did feel that it was a little far fetched. However, a good read and would recommend.

Thanks to Net Galley for my free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this. I found the first half pretty slow going and I was worried that I wouldn't enjoy it much but it picked up the pace, started to get excited and enjoyed it.....the ending....?! 🤯 I wasn't keen on Aimee as a character but when you realise why she's the way she is, it makes sense. The story is unsettling, weird and has a huge surprise at the end.....I thought I had it figured it out even up to the last couple of chapters but boy was I wrong!! This is so much more exciting than Sometimes I Lie...if you loved that then you'l love this!

This book was a good read but was a little on the far fetched side. Aimee husband goes missing and she her finds herself accused of his murder. After this an already complicated life unravels further nobody appears to be who they say they are. Aimee has already lived a life most could not dream of. It’s a good book and worth a read but the ending was just a little bit too far outside my imagination

I really liked this book and enjoyed the style of writing. I thought I knew the large twist at the end of the book but turns out I didn’t, it was much more twisted than I expected! I am looking forward to the next book by this author.

Aimee Sinclair: the actress everyone thinks they know but can’t remember where from. But someone knows exactly who Aimee is, what she is done, and they are watching her every move.

Aimee is a newly successful actress, having just got her biggest part to date in a new film. She is beginning to be recognised, but is not A-List famous yet, and she is happy with that. Aimee loves to act, but it is a role she has been playing all of her life, pretending to be someone she's not.

She doesn't care about being famous, she just wants to be successful doing something she loves.

Aimee's life is turned upside down in an instant, when her husband goes missing. He leaves his phone, keys and wallet behind, but not a trace of himself otherwise. It is almost as if he didn't exist. Aimee with her fledgling career was not keen on photographs being taken of them in public, and Ben was not a fan of photographs full stop. They weren't that sort of couple.

The Police find it strange that Aimee cannot find a recent photo of her husband, but Aimee does not. She also does not know how to act. For she and Ben has a massive argument the night before he disappeared, and Aimee wasn't sure that she wanted to see him again - but that doesn't mean she is responsible for his disappearance.

Aimee's behaviour doesn't sit well with the Police, who are convinced that she had something to do with her husband's disappearance. But the secrets that Aimee may be hiding and nothing to do with her husband, and more about herself. The sort of secrets that she wouldn't want anyone to know, particularly now that she is on the verge of being an overnight sensation.

I cannot say much more without giving anything away, but I Know Who You Are is a delight of a novel. The kind that will have you gripped and keep you guessing until it's conclusion, and even then you may be guessing wrong ... very wrong indeed.

A complex story of psychological suspense. I loved Alice Feeney's amazing debut, Sometimes I Lie, so had big expectations of her follow up novel. Honestly? I was a little disappointed. It felt like Feeney was trying just a little too hard with this story for the same level dramatic twist of her debut, but it just didn't work for me. I couldn't see the motive behind the actions of some of the characters and I did guess the big plot twist (although I hoped I was wrong). I just really felt that the chances of all these damaged people,coming together was beyond feasible. I do understand dramatic licence was at play here, and the book is a very readable thriller - but for me, Sometimes I Lie set the bar so high that a follow up was always going to find it difficult to reach.
I was given a copy of the book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book it kept me guessing to the end. I loved the twist at the finish. I will definitely be reading more books by this author.

Im new to Alice Feeny books and have actively sought them out after reading this one.

If you like books that make you feel, think and keep you on the edge of your feet, this is for you.

If you enjoyed Alice Feeney's first novel Sometimes I Lie, then you will certainly enjoy her second I Know Who You Are. Filled with twists, an unreliable narrator, and everything you could want out of a psychological thriller that keeps you guessing. Highly recommended to readers who are looking for the next hit psychological thriller.

I desperately wanted to enjoy this book, and I did up until about half way through and then I got bored.

It was predictable and didn't tie up lose ends. It felt like the ending was rushed as if the author was pressurised into an ending. It didn't flow and with all the suspense the book had built prior to the last few chapters it was an awful anticlimax.

It wasn't dark and thrilling the way the descriptions sets it out to be. It's a overdone story with a generic plot twist I'm afraid.

Aimee Sinclair is an actress, and of course actresses play roles. When her husband Ben goes missing she calls the police, but then tries to continue life as normal until her latest role is a wrap. As the police delve into the missing person inquiry all is not as it seems. Aimee also is not who she seems to be. The real story of who Aimee and her husband are takes many twists and turns, not all of which I found completely believable. A decent enough read.

Thanks Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I loved Feeney’s debut, Sometimes I Lie, so was super excited for this, and wow what a rollercoaster this was. I was utterly hooked and transfixed, and couldn’t wait to return home from work to gobble this up.
This follows Aimee Sinclair, who looks familiar but you’re not sure from where. Aimee is an actress working on a movie called Sometimes I Kill that could be the big break she’s been looking for. When she returns home from shooting she realises her husband is missing...But the police suspect her...Also Aimee has a secret she’s been hiding...
The less you know about the plot the better. Each chapter ends on a cliffhanger and every alternating chapter flashes back to her dark past. I loved the added layers of Aimee’s character as an actress and the many masks she wears. The twist at the end is shocking and disturbing, and also a little far-fetched hence the 4/5. Nonetheless this was a truly gripping read with breakneck pace and a compelling protagonist.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and of course the author for this digital ARC in exchange for my unbiased review.
This book is a twisted psychological thriller and was a very enjoyable read!

As always with the new book of an author who has previously blown you away, there was quite a bit of trepidation on my part going into this. Sometimes I Lie, Ms Feeney's debut thriller, was a bestseller and has been optioned for television, but I Know You Know is just as good if not better. Alternating between main character Aimee's bleak, disturbing childhood years and present day we are able to understand and gain a rounded picture of what made her the way she is. Later the two timelines merge into one.

What I particularly appreciated was that Feeney crafted a morally grey character in Aimee so she was a lot more believable and realistic than had she been purely black or white. Despite her incriminating behaviour, she has a very real, flawed and human side to her. Although I'm a seasoned crime reader I was utterly blindsided and dumbfounded by the shocking conclusion which was just so damn clever and a satisfying way to end a superb thriller. Engrossing and utterly immersive from first page to last, this is a thoroughly enjoyable and suspenseful read. Many thanks to HQ for an ARC.
