Miranda Smith – What I Know

What I know by Miranda Smith is a psychological thriller mixed with domestic noir. It is a dark story that will have you turning the pages.

The story is told by Della, a teacher who has the lovely home life and a husband that loves her but Della lives her life attempting to be no one and noticed by no one. Her past still terrifies her now and as the story opens up we find out just why. The story is based on the present-day for a few chapters then we go right back to Della being a child for 1 chapter and the story flows well. We discover her brother Brian was calculating, cold and a psychopath but she could ger no one to believe her until too late.

Present-day Della has a new girl in her class, she immediately senses something about her isn’t right and when Della receives a “story” after a particular event that happens to one of the students, she definitely feels the student is just like Brian. A clever, manipulating, sadistic person. Della realises she has to do something but what? The student is clever, sporty and cunning leaving Della again, out on a limb.No one believed her with Brian till it was too late and she was right, how can she make everyone believe her before it’s again, too late?

A really original, dark and different read. I connected with Della straight away and was willing people to believe her, I think I got as frustrated as Della. The story was so twisted and full of suspense. The plot twist was so unexpected I just had to read on This book is definitely a must for psychological thriller fans, highly recommended.
