Review: What You Don’t Know by Bianca Sloane

Summary

It’s Saturday morning. April Fool’s Day to be exact. Malcolm Gilbert is on his way to play golf. His wife, Blair, is headed to the hair salon.

That’s the plan anyway.

Then the doorbell rings.

And their nightmare begins.

For the next forty-eight hours, the Gilberts are at the mercy of sadists who unleash a seemingly unending campaign of terror against them.

But the question isn’t who would attack the Gilberts.

The question is why . . .

The next time your doorbell rings, will you answer it?

Review

This was completely unexpected. I was not prepared for this book at all. I’ve read all of Bianca’s books and never had I experienced what I had reading this one. What You Don’t Know is truly something different from her other work. This page turning suspense thriller made me want to go buy a ring doorbell.

What I found fascinating and different was the alternating point of view of the plot developing with the character witness and statement commentaries. Not only were you placed right in the action as it developed but the cased built along side of you as it went. You were given insight to the characters and their relationships to learn about them and also get an inside view into the investigation. This was so brilliant because right from the beginning, we are thrown into the the heart of the action. From there, you’re putting things together like a puzzle pieces.

This was one that sort of glues you to the chair. I don’t want to share too much about the book because the summary is enough. This is one of those that is better to be read than give you too much details. I think my anxiety level went to another dimension because of the build up of this interwoven moving plot. I wanted to put it down but I couldn’t because I had to keep reading. I had to find out how this was going to play out. There was a momentary cringe moment for me because of the subject matter involving a couple of the characters but overall she really brought her best with this one. I’d recommend checking her out.
