Someone Knows, by Lisa Scottoline
*
Told from SO many perspectives, this chilling tale moves between the past and present and the twenty years in between a tragic event, which now seems to be resurfacing to haunt those involved. 
*
Five teenagers, each with their own family drama to fuel their angst are an unlikely group, considering their different backgrounds. But like most teenagers, they are ruled by the moment and the desire to push boundaries. One night, the group gathers for some rule-breaking and what they think will be a meaningless prank, when things go tragically wrong and one of them dies. Terrified of the consequences, the survivors run and vow to never to speak about what happened ever again. The death is ruled a suicide, leaving the truth about what really happened one night in the woods an unanswered mystery for twenty years. 
*
Now, on the anniversary of the first tragedy, another member of the group dies and everything from that night comes crashing down on those who made it out alive. Forced to finally deal with the unanswered questions, some want to come clean and others want to buy the secret deeper. 
*
Lisa Scottoline skillfully moves between points of view and the past and present in Someone Knows — one of the plus forty novels the best-selling author has written. Each character is thoughtfully developed and brings a whole other level of complicated to the story. The twists and turns are very well balanced with the comprehensive understanding that the readers get with so many points of view. 
​*
The main character, Allie Garvey, has spent the past twenty years punishing herself for what happened that night as a teenager, but she proves that she’s a strong, determined lead on a path to set things right. I was desperately rooting for her.
*
This book reminds you that you never really know what’s happening in another person’s life. Everyone has their own fears, dramas, family issues, and inner truths. It’s just as shocking for the reader as the characters when they learn the truth about even their closest friends and family. ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ / 5 
*
Trigger warnings: sexual abuse, suicide, violence, substance abuse, depression.
