Her written style is a strength: lots of dialogue to move things forward quickly, and plenty of telling details sprinkled over the course of a highly engaging story. Feeney uses short chapters and puzzling / shocking revelations to good effect. Twisty and compelling, this is a narrative that pulls you forward. Is Aimee’s past about to destroy her? What’s it like? When Aimee’s husband goes missing, it’s obvious to the police that she’s hiding something from them, but is it what they think?Īimee has a secret she’s never shared, but it seems someone knows. People recognise her, though they’re not quite sure from where, but one person knows more than anyone else: they know who Aimee used to be. What’s it about?Īimee Sinclair is an actress who is just beginning to make her mark. Would it live up to the twisty masterpiece of her first book? The short answer is, not quite, but it is very good – until a deeply divisive ending. Having read and LOVED Alice Feeney’s debut novel, ‘Sometimes I Lie’, I was delighted to spot her second book, ‘I know who you are’, at Crimefest this year. ![]()
