Description

She’s your oldest friend and you tell each other everything. So you’d know if she’d done something terrible, wouldn’t you?

Maddie and Kiara have been best friends since they met on their first day at university. They have always shared everything with each other, everything except one big secret, which Kiara knows would tear them apart…

When the police knock on Maddie’s front door as she and husband Nick are getting ready for the morning school run, she’s not expecting to hear what they have to tell her.

Kiara is dead.

And when Kiara’s death is ruled as suicide, Maddie can’t believe it. She knew everything about her best friend, didn’t she?

Walking into the plush apartment Kiara only recently moved into, Maddie soon discovers that her best friend’s life wasn’t as happy as she thought. Is that blood on the kitchen floor? And why didn’t Kiara tell her about secret meetings with a man Maddie knows well?

What Maddie learns next has her questioning who her best friend really was. And now she’s discovered Kiara’s web of lies, could her own life be in danger?

My thoughts

Queen of the prologue, Sheryl, didn’t disappoint one bit! The opening to this book set the tone brilliantly and send a few shivers down my spine. As a person with a severe phobia, Do I Really Know You, had me on edge. I could well understand the intensity experienced. This is psych thriller and more. It’s terrifying at times.

The mystery of ‘who’ had me double guessing throughout. Maddie and Kiara were fantastically intriguing characters, both had plenty to tell. Their pasts played a super role and I enjoyed the chapters and moments, that took me as the reader, back to those times.

I have to praise the research that went into Nathan’s job. It must have taken ages and it was so worth it.

I’m sure my heart pounded as I read some of the scenes. I think I need to go and blow into a paper bag to calm down – haha. What a story!

Thanks for reading!
