Resumen del Editor

This program features multicast narration.

The Silent Patient meets Gone Girl in this sharp psychological thriller about a psychiatrist with a shocking past and her dangerous new patient.

Brooklyn psychiatrist Dr. Caroline Strange is certain she knows what's best for her patients, her family, and pretty much everyone else, but that all changes when a troubled young man arrives for his appointment and makes a pair of alarming confessions: I am going to kill someone, and I know who you really are.

Dr. Caroline is accustomed to hearing her patients’ deepest, darkest secrets, but it seems Nelson Schack may be one step ahead when detectives show up later that day, inquiring about a missing woman. It looks like Nelson has made good on his threat—yet somehow it’s Dr. Caroline who becomes the prime suspect.

Convinced the police are incompetent, Dr. Caroline takes matters into her own hands, chasing down the elusive Nelson and running headlong into a past she has spent her entire life trying to forget. As she closes in on her target, all the polished pieces of her manicured life splinter when people begin to question who she really is.

Harrowing, unpredictable, and compulsively binge-worthy, the award-winning author Louisa Luna’s Tell Me Who You Are is an utterly gripping psychological thriller that begs the question: Can a person ever really outrun their past?

A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Tell Me Who You Are is the best sort of thriller—caustic, dynamic, unsettling, and scary. Louisa Luna’s novel is sharp as a blade and hard to put down."—Ivy Pochoda, author of Sing Her Down

“Seriously creepy cat-and-mice games ensue when a sharp-thinking therapist tries to track down a patient who may also be a kidnapper . . . [A] page-turning, twisted thriller.”–Kirkus (starred review)

“Cunning . . . Lisa Gardner fans, take note.”–Publishers Weekly

Perfection!

So well crafted and actually really funny commentary along with a well designed and unpredicted story line. LOVED IT.

intriguing and twisty

Great, interesting character studies. unfortunately I didn't much like any of them. maybe a bit too much interior monolog, not enough acton, I kept losing thread of conversations in the middle. Luna always has such interesting, original insights though, it's usually worth it! in the end I didn't find the present day plot particularly compelling. it was a bit too thinly veiled as a vehicle to set up an unreliable narrative situation.

good thriller/suspenser

A good suspense novel to escape into. I was intrigued the whole time.
Going to check out more from L. Luna. Narration was good, too.

amazing misdirection

I thought within the first two hours I knew exactly what was going on. I feel like that was very intentional. the author does an amazing job at getting you to think a certain way and then shifts the story in another direction. Great book!

F*ed up in a good way

The ending was one of the possible outcomes I was thinking, but it really did keep me guessing which outcome it would be most of the way through. I love stories when the narrator is an anti-hero!

Gripping

This one kept me guessing until the last minute! Loved it!
I would highly recommend!

No shortage of psychology in this thriller…

The psychological thriller category is flooded with books that don’t really belong, but this book earns its place. Somewhat humorous at times, sad at others, mysterious throughout… it has it all for me. And the narration is fantastic. Really really enjoyed.

Well done

I don’t review a lot of books This is not the same 5-star Id leave for some of the more high-caliber literary masterpieces. 5 star bc the story held me. It was well written with an intricate story line. A story line that most of these new-age, “best selling”, domestic suspense writers would have butchered to pieces. About half way through I did an eye roll hoping it was NOT going to direction your mind steers (too predictable), and YAY! It didn’t. It was fresh and original, contemporary (COVID) but it didn’t annoy me like Stephen King did with “Holly”. Ive needed a good twisted/demented fix since I finished all of Gillian Flynns books, and I finally, FINALLY got it.

Loved the Writing Style

The author gives very unique personalities for her characters...witty, snarky, intelligent and brutally honest, Even when they're being dishonest by omission, they tell you they're omitting facts, which is a form of honesty in and of itself. Strong female characters, and some very insightful inner dialog. The story itself kept me engaged, even when it was a little predictable at times, and while there were some "done before" ideas, the plot never suffered with any of the eye rolling, unforgivable tropes that are often found in this type of story. I wouldn't say the story itself is Gone Girl level, but the writing style is, and this author is one I will definitely keep an eye on for future works.

Great twists and turns

Engrossing story with characters who exhibited human frailty in different ways, making none of them perfect and all of them interesting.
