You Know Her had fascinating characters and a well-developed plot. The narrator did a great job. I would read this author again.

I love this book!! It’s a cat and mouse thriller about a bar tender named Sophie. The characters in this story are so well developed you really become invested in them This book is so detailed and exceptionally written anyone that loves a good thriller will love it.

OMG. Don't sleep on this book y'all. First, I am so thankful to Meagan Jennett, MCD, and NetGalley for granting advanced audiobook access, and I'm super grateful to MCD/FSG for sending a physical galley as well. You Know Her is set to hit shelves on April 4, 2023, and I'm seriously raving about how fantastic this book was written.

You Know Her is a book that SCREAMS "Good for Her" vibes and is the feminist serial killer saga mixing Promising Young Woman with Aileen Wurnos and equaling out to be a masterpiece.

Sophie Braam is sick and tired of the men in her life, town, and bar, which get away with the sexual, physical, and emotional assaults they call their daily life. When a local drunk, Mark Dixon, gets a bit too handsy with her one evening after a closing shift, she takes matters into her own hands and eliminates him.

As the reader, we hear from another point of view, that being Nora Martin, the town's local cop tasked with investigating the case of several missing men; Mark is one of them. The only indicator deeming these killings to be serial is the timing and the killer's calling card, which is tongue removal... As the reader, we know that Sophie is the murderer.

I was almost cheering her on at a lot of points because she was fed up with the years and years of torturous slander that come down on women for wearing something that tempted a man to act the way he did, angering a man for saying the wrong thing, or generally just anything that went against the likes of a man. It's only a matter of time until the local detectives begin to chomp at her scent and work to deliver justice where it's deserved. This small-town gothic thriller is accordingly-paced and equally enticing to keep you wanting more, page after page.

Police officer Nora Martin is chasing a serial killer. Little does she know she’s already met the killer, bartender Sophie Braam. Sophie claims to have no knowledge of the latest victim, other than he didn’t pay for a glass of wine at her bar; in reality, she’s responsible for the somewhat distressing condition he’s been found in. As the murders continue, Nora founds herself drawn to Sophie, and even begins to suspect her. Will Nora’s girl crush keep her from stopping a serial killer? There have been comparisons made to Killing Eve for good reason even if the gross factor is a little higher here
