"The Girl Who Knew Too Much" by Amanda Quick

The Girl Who Knew Too Much by Amanda Quick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Release Date: May 9th, 2017
NOTE: This is a spoiler-free review, and I will try my best to keep it that way....



This book is very different from anything I have read in Quick's previous works. (I'm a big fan of her 90's material, which centers on love).
And I'll admit I was a bit nervous after seeing such positive reviews because I'm usually that person.
"THAT PERSON": The one who doesn't like the book everyone loves....


But for the first time in a long time, I found myself agreeing with those around me! The drama that occurs in TGWKTM is insane!

You've got Irene: a gossip columnist with a dark past....(Lea Michelle would be my Irene...)


The you've got Oliver: a former magician, who is trying to start over.


THE PLOT (short version): a killer is on the loose! Determined to get the story and figure out who is behind the crimes, Irene takes matters into her own hands with the help of Oliver.

Writing: 10.
Cover: 10
Plot: 10
Love: 5. But it worked. There was just enough to keep me satisfied.
Mystery: 10
Character Development: 10
POV: written in third person, but has a strong voice narrative.

Conclusion: Definitely one of the Best books of 2017. Quick has a way of making you feel for her characters and grow emotionally attached to them. I can't explain it. She has the ability to create a plot that leaves your mind reeling days after you've finished the book.

I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Paula Hawkins. (Aka, The Girl on the Train)
