"In the vein of Gillian Flynn's Sharp Objects and A.S.A. Harrison's The Silent Wife, The Devil You Know is a thrilling debut about a rookie reporter, whose memories of the murder of her childhood best friend bring danger--and a stalker--right to her doorstep. The year is 1993. Rookie crime beat reporter Evie Jones is haunted by the unsolved murder of her best friend Lianne Gagnon who was killed in 1982, back when both girls were eleven. The suspected killer, a repeat offender named Robert Cameron, was never arrested, leaving Lianne's case cold. Now twenty-one and living alone for the first time, Evie is obsessively drawn to finding out what really happened to Lianne. She leans on another childhood friend, David Patton, for help--but every clue they uncover seems to lead to an unimaginable conclusion. As she gets closer and closer to the truth, Evie becomes convinced that the killer is still at large--and that he's coming back for her. From critically acclaimed author Elisabeth de Mariaffi comes a spine-tingling debut about secrets long buried and obsession that cannot be controlled"--… (mere)

It was interesting to see thebackdrop of the GTA and the Paul Bernardo crimes - something that remains fresh in the minds of those in Ontario. I found this book challenging to read and frequently found myself wanting to skip ahead. I had the true identity of the killer solved quite early in the story but hung on until the end. (

I gave this book a good 8-10 chapters to really capture me, but I'm just honestly not feeling immersed. Evie seems kind of immature. The story could use some polish, especially in terms of dialogue. Plus, I think the "j-school" abbreviation was starting to grate on my nerves.

There are plenty of people out there who loved this, it just wasn't for me. (

First I have to give thanks to grilled cheesus that I am finally done with this book. Second I must say that if I never read or hear the phrase "j-school" again, it will be too soon. For all of you out there who really did attend journalism school, don't use this phrase - it makes you sound like a douche. Third the main character's boss's car is blue- of this I am sure because it is related so often through the book, you will not doubt that the boss owns a blue car. Finally, yawn. This book was so disjointed and inconceivable that it took me 7 days to read 300 pages- fairly uncommon for me. This book is NOT in the vein of Gillian Flynn or A.S.A. Harrison-it is in the vein of all the wannabe Flynns and Harrisons and misses that mark so spectacularly, I can still hear it whizzing down the canyon hopefully into oblivion. Painfully lame and a huge waste of time. P.S. hated it. (
