I do not like giving bad reviews and the only reason for this one is it just didn't flow for me. For some people it will be good, I just found it slow and a bit hard going.

Thank you for the advance copy,

I would like to thank NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book even though I did not finish this book.

This was a brilliant read. As soon as I started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it. Highly recommended

Dear Publishers.

Firstly, thanks very much for the opportunity to read and review this title.

Unfortunately, I just wanted to let you know that I won't be reading and reviewing this title due to the large number of titles that I currently have on my shelf, and my inability to read them all. Also, I feel that a review at this late stage probably won't assist you or the author. For these reasons, I've decided to tidy up of my Netgalley shelf and I will be removing this one from my TBR pile.

I hope to be able to read and review further titles for you in the future.

Thanks and Regards
Kim

Someone You Know by Olivia Isaac-Henry is a standalone psychological thriller about twins Tess and Edie. At the age of 14 Edie disappears and 20 years later Tess receives a call to say a body has been found.

Thank you to NetGalley for the review copy!

This book was just okay for me. I think this might be one of those cases where I've just read so so so many titles in this genre that they all start to blur together after a little while. Unless a book is really outstanding in some way, it's just hard to hold my interest.

I say that because I know the three-star rating is deceptive: it's not that this book is mediocre based on plot, because it's not. It's actually a very firm mystery with twists and turns and plenty of suspects to choose from. It's just that I never really felt connected to any of the characters. I felt like I was just plodding along until the end.

Tess has been struggling to come to terms with her sister’s disappearance for years. Now, it’s all being brought back again, and she’s plunged back into the horror of that time, questioning everyone around her. She doesn’t know who to trust.
A fabulous twisty-turny thriller, with a great main character, ‘Someone You Know’ is a very accomplished debut. There are some clever red herrings, some very perceptive characterisation, and a real sense of time and place in those parts of the story that take place in the nineties.
I wasn’t completely convinced by the ending, if I’m honest, but this is certainly a great debut in the genre.

The task of repopulating the senior library has been an exciting and daunting task aS in a boarding school our aim is to encourage all members of the community to read. Because of this, I have been searching down a wide and diverse range of books to read that will entice a wide cross-section of the school to come in, browse and find books that they love.
Books like this will ensure that the senior students in the school see the library as a diverse, modern and exciting place with books that speak to them and they want to recommend to their friends, classmates, teachers and tutors.
It is an engrossing and exciting read with fully-formed characters and a plot that ensures that it's hard to look away. It is as far from formulaic as it is possible to be and kept me up far too late in order to finish it. I immediately wanted to read all of this writer's other books as I loved their voice and found that it really drew me into the story and made me think about it even when I'd stepped away from this tale.
This is a thought-provoking read which I'm sure will be a popular and well-read addition to our new library; I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to read it and I know that the students are going to absolutely love it too!

Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

The book was a page turner to the end. I read it in one sitting with my heart pounding. Great job and masterful storytelling.

I should have loved this book. It had elements that I usually love in thrillers. But unfortunately, this book wasn't for me. May check out future books by this author.

Edie and Tess are twin sisters. As children they do everything together, but, then they tragically lose their Mum. Soon afterwards they move to a new home and school for a fresh start but, all of the changes have a negative affect on the sisters relationship. Edie wants to fit in with the popular girls at the posh new school, go to parties and meet boys, but Tess wants it to be like it had always been; just the two of them. When Edie disappears nobody can believe it; only a few years after the death of their mother as well. The police can't find Edie or find out what happened to her until twenty years later when her body is discovered and thdy re-open the investigation. The now, grown up Tess is devastated by the news and wants whoever murdered her sister caught and punished. She's aware that the family, along with old friends and neighbours, have been keeping secrets from her for a long time. Probably because she was just a child and that they were just trying to shield her from the horrible truth. But 20 years have passed; adult Tess wants answers, no matter how painful the truth may be. Will she ever find it? Will it give her the peace and closure she needs to move on with her life?
Read it to find out. It's a great story. The chapters flip from Edie's story in the early 90's to the present day investigation really well. I'll definitely be looking for more from Olivia Issac-Henry in the future.

Someone you know was an okay story. Not as gripping as I had hoped, but I managed to plod on to read it to the end. At times I felt it was going to grip my attention but in the end it didn’t.

Olivia Isaac-Henry's debut novel Someone You Know is a tense, claustrophobic thriller about the need to know the truth following a horrific crime. It follows the story of twins Tess and Edie. Twenty years ago, Edie, the more outgoing twin, doesn't come home after school. Tess never gave up the hope of finding her sister but, one day, Tess receives a phone call that Edie's body has been found. The police reopen the case and they start to look closely at the twins' family and friends. The story is expertly told by Edie in the past and Tess in the present as Tess investigates the life and relationships that her sister hid from her when they were kids. The book particularly examines familial relationships as Tess must face some very harsh truths about her family and the life that her sister was leading before she disappeared.

This gripping read kept me guessing till the end, with the many potential suspects and believable red herrings keeping me on my toes! The ending surprised me in a good way and I liked that each person's motives were explored and there were no stones left unturned.

It missed out on 5⭐ because I felt it lost pace in the middle. I have never known characters to smoke so much and it is constantly pointed out (yes! this is a minor nag but it did break the flow of the narrative and constantly hammering that point home is necessary).

Thanks to Avon Books UK & Netgalley for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fast paced modern thriller - hooked from start to finish, so many twists!! The plots alternates back and forth between the present day and the 90s and keeps you guessing.

A touching, nostalgic twisty mystery. Great imagery which will take you back to the nineties and makes you realise just how much has changed within a relatively short time period. A little slow and repetitive at times but stick with it and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. My thanks to NetGalley and Avon books for my ARC in return for an honest review.
