Summary

Some secrets are better kept. Ella-Rose is convinced she’s being watched when anonymous letters and gifts are delivered to her home. With a secret past stopping her from seeking help from the authorities, Ella takes matters into her own hands. As paranoia tightens its grip, Ella's desperate search for answers leads her down a twisted path of suspicion and deceit that forces her to accuse everyone she knows. But as the web of deception unravels, she makes a shocking revelation that threatens to unearth a family secret she's guarded for over a decade. Somebody knows.

In a world where trust is a luxury and deception is the norm, IF THEY KNEW explores the depths of betrayal and the question of how well we truly know those we hold dear. Brace yourself for a journey that will leave you questioning the very foundations of trust and the sinister secrets that lie within the shadows. They say it's always someone you know. But how much do you ever really know anyone?

Very slow burn thriller

It took me a while to write my thoughts about this novel because I had to reflect on why by the time I reached the end, I felt deflated. I enjoyed listening to the audiobook as I think the narrator Laura Greaves impersonated the main character especially well, as well as the others, but I’m not convinced by the plot.

There was a lot of suspense and a lot of self loathe and self pity from the protagonist, and hints at major secrets and events. Throughout the book my senses were heightened and the tension was high, but by the end of it I didn’t feel that the high hopes I had were met.

I realised one of the twists easily which probably didn’t help, but even then, the anticlimactic ending, plus the fact I had to endure the main character whining for 90% of the book didn’t work for me. I really found Ella annoying, which probably didn’t help either.

This is of course my opinion, and it might not be the same for others, but I feel sorry this one didn’t work for me because I enjoyed the writing and the suspense up to a point. I will try reading another work by this author though.

Thanks to the author for the opportunity to listen to it and this is my honest opinion.

if they knew

I loved the narration of Laura Greaves

Ella finds her life and mind in turmoil. Believing she can not even trust herself? Ella can not understand or believes what is happening in her world. Suffering from severe anxiety.
Unable to know who is friend or foe. As Ella is convinced she’s being watched as anonymous letters and gifts are delivered to her home. Because of a secret, in her past , she can not ask for help for the authorities, so Ella takes matters into her own hands.
You are kept guessing, lots of suspense and unexpected twists and turns.

so many twists

At the beginning I thought I knew what was going to happen, it was nothing like what I thought it was going to be. I got so addicted and it really was brilliant.
the author really captured the feelings of working from home.
