I think it will be important to let people know that the subject matter could be triggering. As a person who has experienced childhood sexual abuse, I didn't feel triggered. I do see how it could be for others.
I love how Mr. Olsen jumps right into the story and creates a setting that immediately draws the reader in. I enjoyed this book and felt that it kept a good pace. I felt the humanity and vulnerability of the main characters.
I Know Where You Live shows that we really are as sick as our secrets, and how those secrets haunt, not only us, but the generations to come.
The only other book I had read by this author previously was If You Tell. By Chapter 8 of this book, I was already looking for more of his work. Gregg Olsen has quickly become one of my must read authors.

Family secrets of the worst kind! Violet and Lily lived a very dysfunctional life where lies were cover ups to the horror that went on for generations. Violet does not want her "papa" to attend her wedding. She hates him. He was told to stay away but he doesn't. Your wedding day is supposed to be the day you remember for the rest of your life. For Violet, it was a day that began a horrific series of events that you can't even imagine. This book is one you will get lost in... unable to put it down until it all unravels. It won't be what you thought! Bravo Gregg Olsen! Another one out of the park!!

To say I enjoyed this book is an understatement. I was so anxious through the majority of the book. I give it a 4/5.

I Know Where You Live
by Gregg Olsen

This ARC was provided to me via Kindle, from Thomas & Mercer, and #NetGalley. Thank you for the opportunity to preview and review.

I Love Gregg Olsen's writings. His books have people that are either good, bad, or standing in a gray area. The book was one, where a family was not much good to others or themselves. Yet, Violet., takes a stand for the wrong
When Papa suffers a sudden, and suspicious, fatal heart attack at Violet’s wedding, she can barely conceal her joy. Maybe the fellow survivor at her support group is right: moving on is possible only when monsters are removed from society permanently. Violet is focusing on the now. Even if doing so calls for extremes. Hell is a place, and evil and the man Papa must indeed pay.
Like it or not, Gregg Olsen creates characters you will love or love to hate or both. I enjoyed even the dark .
Well done, I say.

I love Gregg Olsen, but i'm not completely sure how I feel about this one. I couldn't put it down from the first page. But the details are very grim and very tough to read at parts. While I wanted to see where the story would go, it is not an easy read and could definitely be triggering. However, it will completely keep your attention throughout the book.

Thank you to net galley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

A tantalizing thriller with unexpected twists and turns.

I Know Where You Live by Gregg Olsen an intense family drama. The storyline is grim and seemed disorganized. The characters were all quite unlikable and hard to comprehend or sympathize with their actions.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

This was one of those books I couldn’t put down! I think it definitely should come with a trigger warning (SA). But I read the whole book in about a day and a half.

The book is written from multiple characters’ perspectives and each one is equally well-developed. I found myself alternating between anger and empathy depending on which perspective was being used.

The story was well told and the premise was one of those that sticks with you. This was a fantastic read!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book early. I’ve read most of Olsen’s work and he’s definitely a favorite author, but this one fell short for me. The storyline is very dark and there was a lot going on. It seemed very jumbled up to me.

We are dealing with some dark, heavy issues the entire book. It's pretty disturbing at times but it's quite realistic as the story deals with sexual assaults, the victims, the perpetrators and how it affects everyone; how some take matters in their hands and how they struggle throughout their whole lives living with the consequences.

I did find this read to be somehow difficult considering these themes. However, the whole reading experience is quite good considering the fast-paced writing, convincing characters and how the story dealt with different scenarios of assault happening the worst happening right in front of their eyes but somehow not being able to do anything about it.

Such a good, gripping story. I find the ending really satisfying. However, I did feel that the book could have been better with less pages.

Quite a convincing read I would say.

Thank you, Thomas & Mercer, for the advance reading copy.

Violet knows that time is a futile healer. When she thinks of her happily married grandfather a predator lovingly referred to as Papa the feelings of rage and betrayal still swell. Her younger sister, Lily, just discovered the numbing truth about him. Their mother, Rose? She can’t believe it. Not Papa. Leave it alone, Violet. Focus on the now.
When Papa suffers a sudden, and suspicious, fatal heart attack at Violet’s wedding, she can barely conceal her joy. Maybe the fellow survivor at her support group is right: moving on is possible only when monsters are removed from society permanently. Violet is focusing on the now. Even if doing so calls for extremes.
For herself, and for the sake of other victims like her, Violet is reclaiming the power stolen from her as a child. Predator by predator, she’s coming for them. It’s intoxicating. It’s liberating. But the secrets she now keeps, and the lies she must tell, come with a price.
Really enjoyed this book totally recommend
Thank You NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer
I just reviewed I Know Where You Live by Gregg Olsen. #IKnowWhereYouLive #NetGalley

Wow! There was so much going on and so many intense, triggering situations. But it felt jumbled, one thing falling down the stairs followed by four more practically on top of each other. I think a good edit could sort this out because it has a lot of potential but is currently really messy.

I wanted to enjoy this one but felt the overall mystery, plot and characters hard to relate to. I can totally see the potential here though, I might just not be the target audience.

I’m not quite sure what I was expecting but it wasn’t this. If you’re looking for an intense read that’s well written, look no further! Trigger warning: Rape & molestation

I love the books of Gregg Olsen and I wasn't disappointed this time.

A woman is about to get married. Her only wish is that her grandfather (papa) isn't allowed to come. But of course he does... and then choas ensues.

The editor's version of what this book is about is how the main character takes revenge, and is looking for vengeance. But that wasn't my takeaway. That was only PART of the book. I thought it was more about a broken family trying to heal. It was about survival and overcoming.

This book had family drama, it had mystery , it had suspense, there was something for everyone. It was very well written and I kept those pages turning. I didn't like any of the characters - meaning I wouldn't want to have coffee with them. Yet, they were compelling and I was rooting for them. I read this book in one day and it stuck with me after it was done.

Warning: This book does have triggers about sexual abuse.

Thank you to the author, the publisher and to #netgalley for the ARC which did not impact my review. This is 4 .5stars - rounded to 5.because it doesn't seem fair to round down. Just so well written.

Family secrets, denials and lies. And then revenge.

Violet was molested by her grandfather when she was 7 years old. When she told her mother, her mother did not believe her and told her not to speak of it again.

When Violet gets married, she does not invite her grandparents to the wedding, but they come there anyway. Her grandfather has a reaction to shrimp that was in the food, and as a result has a heart attack, and dies in hospital under suspicious circumstances.

Other predators are stabbed and killed. Revenge is being taken on those that molest children.

I have heard much about Gregg Olsen's books, but this is the first that I have read. I like his writing very much. The subject line though, is triggering for many. The monsters all have human faces.

I was truly fascinated by the premise of this book and found myself immersed in it for two days. I loved the multiple POV’s from Rose and her daughters, Lily and Violet, but I found the timeline confusing. I feel like the big twist was revealed too early and it made the rest of the story predictable.

I Know Where You Live centers around Violet, who was molested by her grandfather when she was a little girl. When she worked up the courage to tell her mother, the woman who would protect her and be on her side, but she had completely done the opposite and told her that she shouldn’t share such ugly rumors about her family members.

Violet grew up feeling like a victim and no matter how many times she brought it up with her Mother, she would continue to deny it. Violet felt defeated and started to hate her Mother.

It’s Violet’s wedding day and she was promised that her Grandfather wouldn’t attend to respect her wishes but when he showed up, she’s filled with rage. When her Grandfather collapses and dies at her wedding, she feels like a weight has been lifted off her shoulders.

What if Violet could become a sex offender vigilante and bring peace to other victims? Would she be praised or would she find herself in prison?

Had her Grandfather hurt more children in the past? Did someone finally stop him? You’ll need to read the book and find out for yourself.

This was my first book by this particular author and I have to say I wasn’t disappointed. Looking forward to reading more.

I am giving this bood 3.5 stars because while it was an interesting story, I do feel as though the writing and editing could have used some work. There was just a lot going on, and even though it was fictional, some of it was hard to believe.

Trigger warning - molestation & rape

Wow! This book was an intense read due to the nature of the plot. I Know Where You Live is about a family who is dealing with Violet's childhood confession that her Papa raped and molested her. Throughout the book it shows how each of the women in the family (Rose, Lily and Violet) were effected by this sickening event. Violet's mother, Rose, gaslights Violet and makes her question herself and her own memories. Then there is Lily, Violet's younger sister, who knows something is wrong with her sister growing up but had no idea why her sister was so angry. Papa suddenly gets ill at Violet's wedding, which he was not invited to. After Papa's death Violet finally finds a way to release her emotions and protect others from monsters like her Papa.
