You Don’t Know Me By Sara Foster
Paperback published by Legend Press 30th June 2020
Lizzie Burdett was eighteen when she vanished, and Noah Carruso has never forgotten her. She was his first crush, his unrequited love. She was also his brother’s girlfriend.
Tom Carruso hasn’t been home in over a decade. He left soon after Lizzie disappeared under a darkening cloud of suspicion, and now he’s back for the inquest into Lizzie’s disappearance–intent on telling his side of the story.
As the inquest looms, Noah meets Alice Pryce on holiday. They fall for each other fast and hard, but Noah can’t bear to tell Alice his deepest fears. And Alice is equally stricken–she carries a terrible secret of her own.
He’s guarding a dark secret, but so is she.
My Review
I’m so happy that Sara Foster’s new book You Don’t Know Me has been published by Legend press. It wil be a great pleasure to see Sara Foster books published more with Legend Press in the future.
I got into this mystery straight away, because it’s one of those thrillers that I can’t let go of until I know for certain who did it.
Lizzie Belhaven was a popular young girl who disappeared one winter’s night in 2006.
Tom and Lizzie, seemed happy together. Lizzie had been in Tom’s life and in the eyes of his brother Noah, for a short six months and then without warning wasn’t.
With taking this situation into account I had the strongest feeling that there must of been a bit of jealousy between brothers Tom and Noah. Wickedly, Tom spent most of his childhood tormenting his brother Noah,
Twelve years ago Tom’s brother Noah had a secret crush on Lizzie. After reading that I became aware of what I was in for. Young Noah thought Lizzie was glorious, confident, and sassy.
In to the story further more, Noah hadn’t known that were any problems between Tom and Lizzie until that final night, the last time Noah had seen her alive. He had been the only one to witness Lizzie’s anguish at Toms vicious fury.
Tom never volunteers to talk about Lizzie to his family, and he only spoke the police when he had to. He had hidden from journalists who turned up at the school, but Tom declares he didn’t kill Lizzie.
It’s now twelve years on and after Lizzie disappeared Tom Carruso is coming home for the inquest into Lizzie’s death, he’s wants to tell his side of the story for the first time, as he is still protesting his innocence.
This one of the most quite convincing stories that I have read just like in real life a family would want answers to a missing daughter or the death of a daughter. Here we see that Lizzie’s father wants answers and justice, of course someone knows what happened to his beautiful daughter. I felt the pain Lizzie’s father was going through, it’s difficult not to feel the wounds that have reopened for him.
With a few suspects, I couldn’t quite work out who killed Lizzie, although it was fair to say I pointed my finger at one particular character, but I need disclosure of this jigsaw puzzl to see if I was right or wrong.
Noah falls in love with Alice in Thailand, but Alice has a terrible secret of her own, and Noah can’t bring himself to tell Alice his deepest fears.
You Don’t Know Me by Sara Foster is the only book I have I have read, although Sara has written five other novels.
I recommend reading You Don’t know Me, as I know you are good hands by this talented author, who has gripped readers with all characters lives and thoughts that keep will keep your attention drawn to each page.
I would like to thank Legend Press for sending gme this fantastic gripping paperback to review and for inviting me to be part of the blog tour today.
