Revenge, justice, or closure? Family crimes can’t be hidden forever in this provocative novel of suspense by #1 New York Times bestselling author Gregg Olsen.

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.

Critic reviews

“In I Know Where You Live, master of suspense Gregg Olsen peels back layer after layer to reveal an ugly underbelly of family secrets and revenge. This unbearably tense, serpentine tale probes the darkest corners of the heart and mind. The suspense never wavers in this electrifying page-turner, guaranteed to keep your heart pounding until the very last page.”—Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author

The author did a really good job showing exactly how this horrific behavior perpetrated on children is often not discussed or they are not believed. I think they do believe it but do not want to admit it. What chaos it would start for the whole family if this is expose! The results of someone not listening is just as devastating to a child, who has been told this is their “special secret. They finally get the courage to tell an adult, and they get told that they are lying to be quiet about it. The Perpetrator and the person who ignored the child should both be charged with child abuse and neglect. Does an excellent job in the progression of this and the results. The twisted turns and options that occur towards the end of the book is quite surprising. It shows Greg Olsen style perfectly. It’s a book he shouldn’t miss!
The narration was very well done also.

Excellent book, difficult topic

I thought maybe the suspense or action would eventually pick up, but it never did. It got to the point that the actual murder was a “who cares”. I quit in the middle. Just didn’t care anymore.

I got bored

I listened to the audiobook version which was well-performed. I feel this book rates 4.25 to 4.5 stars for the treatment of the impact familial sexual abuse has on entire families and multiple generations. The abuse is handled realistically and the characters' reactions are also true to life. Some of the scenes could be triggering to sensitive persons. I found parts of it hard to listen to, but, at the same time, hard to put down. The action is quick with a modicum of suspense. I recommend this book on a couple different levels - it is an engaging story and in a group reading could promote healthy discussions on sexual abuse and vigilantism.

This was a good story about a difficult subject, the sexual abuse of a child. However, I grew tired of the internal dialog of each character, which went on and on and on, without the story moving forward. The plot itself was thin, but the subject matter was huge. I felt like I was sitting in group therapy listening to everyone describing what they went through. I respect and understand all that was said here, but I guess I was expecting something else. It certainly is a great book for those who have been exposed one way or another to sexual abuse of children by trusted family members. Who hasn't? The book details many of the lifelong troubles victims experience. One thing I did like about the book though, is how some of the offenders were "taken care of". A troubling but compassionate story.

This is for both the ebook and the Audible

Hard book to review. Harder book to read but I did finish it. I personally didn't like any of the characters with the exception of Violet's husband. The whole subject matter was icky but I persevered to read about the comeuppance the perverts got. Not as "enjoyable" as I anticipated. But the book was exactly as promised. Should have followed my first instinct. Gave it four stars because it was well written and the Audible was good. Just a hard subject matter.

Reviews of this book, say that it is dark. It is no more dark than any murder mystery. It just happens to be about rape. But it is also about victims taking back vengeance, and I thought it was an amazing book. Don’t let the reviews scare you off. It was an amazing book.

Love this author

If you have ever been molested or experienced anything like it, this may be a difficult read. The narrators are very good and the ending was somewhat satisfying, but it’s a tough story.

Pretty sad book

SPOILER ALERT:
I found this story particularly interesting, because I have a pedophile living at the top of my street. Although I am all for vigilante justice, I found the murders committed by Violet to be very hard to believe and a little too neat and tidy. I really dislike week characters, both in books and in real life, so I did not like Rose nor her mother. And I think that the father should’ve been included in on everything. His character was kind of useless and stupid. As I rated it, the book was just OK.

It was OK.

📚Honest Review📚

How far would you go to keep a secret from being revealed? 🗝️

Olsen introduces the reader into the world of a dysfunctional family, a traumatized family, hidden in plain sight.

The story revolves around Violet and her family, a relationship that has been damaged generations before and that continues to perpetrate the cycle.

The author shows Violet undergoing treatment, searching for help and coping in the best way she could, up until one day. One first time that will lead to a spiral of violence, served justice and up to some extent: peace.

This story does not only belongs to Violet, Rose or Lily but also to all the victims across the world. It belongs to all those who have been there and who try day after day to survive and break the cycle. For them and for the generations to come.
