It has been twenty years since two eleven-year-old boys were found murdered. Their friend, Cody Swift, has been haunted ever since that day. A man was tried and convicted of their murder, but Cody isn't so sure that the police got the right man. He has returned to his old neighborhood determined to find out what really happened. And he is going to record it all for his new podcast, Time to Tell.
The last thing Jessy Paige wants is for someone to dig up the past. She was just a baby herself when she had her son, Charlie. His death nearly destroyed her, but it was also the catalyst for her to turn things around. She hit rock bottom and then met her husband, Nick. And they had a daughter. Jessy is afraid that Cody Swift's investigation and podcast will stir up more than just bad memories. She is afraid that her past will destroy her future. Will she be able to hold her family together or will the past destroy them all?
I Know You Know is a chilling mystery that mixes the horrors of the past with the popular technology of today. The chapters alternate between the past, the present, and the transcript of Cody's podcast. The chapters of the podcast are written and read just like the popular true crime podcasts that are so popular. I could hear the podcast in my head. I really like Jess and I could empathize with her both now and then. She was so young when she had Charlie and was trapped by motherhood. She was terrified that her husband would find out the truth about what happened. The book moved a little slower than I had hoped, or had come to expect from Gilly MacMillan, but I desperately wanted to know the truth. - CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS
Bottom Line - I Know You Know is a real thriller about one woman trying to forget the past and a young man who is trying to expose the secrets of the past. While it wasn't the most gripping mystery that I have read lately, the ending was not what I expected, and that is always what I want in a mystery.

Wait, your “spoiler” is not what happened! Not sure how you came to that conclusion but you might want to re-read the end.
