Miranda Rijks writes enjoyable books. Well, enjoyable if you like suspense, psychological thrills, backstabbing, betrayal and reading about characters who, hopefully, live lives nothing like yours. What She Knew is her latest novel about a long time missing college student and her flatmate who has gone on to create a happy life with her former professor and some kids.
Stephanie, stay-at-home mom to two and wife to slightly controlling Oliver is contacted by a documentary researcher trying to solve the case of the missing college roommate. Having had to deal with trauma following the disappearance, reliving this event is hard for her and Oliver wants her to stop cooperating. I swear to you, at various times, I pegged each character as having been involved. There are a couple plot twists, but basically What She Knew is a quick beach read that won’t require a ton of effort and will fill an afternoon with some good storytelling.
I listened to the audio arc and absolutely LOVED narrator Ella Lynch. I have not listened to her work prior to this, but would be glad to listen to more of her work. She has a delightful voice and brought the characters to life.
Thank you to Netgalley and Dreamscape Media for allowing me to listen to this book in exchange for an honest opinion.
