Publisher's summary

A psychological thriller about the murder of a teenage girl, from the author of Lacy Eye.

On a cold December day in northern upstate New York, the body of high school senior Joy Enright is discovered in the woods at the edge of a pond. She had been presumed drowned, but an autopsy shows that she was, in fact, strangled. As the investigation unfolds, four characters tell the story from widely divergent perspectives: Susanne, Joy's mother and a professor at the local art college; Martin, a black graduate student suspected of the murder; Harper, Joy's best friend and a potential eyewitness; and Tom, a rescue diver and son-in-law of the town's police chief. As a web of small-town secrets comes to light, a dramatic conclusion reveals the truth about Joy's death.

Captivating and intriguing

This book is very well written and I loved the narrators. I have listened to over 100 books and this is one of my top ten.

The story is interesting and kept me on my toes. It had a few twists and a well written and read plot!

I enjoyed the entire book and was disappointed when it was over. Highly recommended if you enjoy a good mystery with back stories along with various characters side stories.

Pretty Good Mystery

This book had its ups and downs. I enjoyed most of the mystery/suspense aspects, but there were several instances of character dialogue and thoughts that didn't sit well with me. It simply felt unnatural. Overall, it was still worth reading if you like mysteries with a twist, and I gave it 4 stars. I felt like some of the race-related writing came across as forced rather than as a part of the story.

SECRETS AND LIES

What did you love best about How Will I Know You??

I listen to a lot of books but this had a unique sound, performance and feeling. Really hooked me with the characters and made me fully invest in finding out what happens to ALL the characters.

What other book might you compare How Will I Know You? to and why?

I'm not sure if everyone will think this (and I liked this book much better) but The Finch.

Which scene was your favorite?

Too many to count.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No. But definitely kept me listening into the wee hours to find out what happened.

Any additional comments?

When you listen to as many books as I do you really look for those occasional book that stay with you. This will stay with me for sure. Made an impact on how I see the world around me. Bravo!!
