A teen gymnast is on the verge of going to the next level when a coach's boyfriend is killed in a mysterious hit-and-run, throwing a wrench into everyone's plans, in Megan Abbott's You Will Know Me.
This suspense novel is narrated by the mother of the young gymnast, who begins to think both her husband and her daughter know a little too much about what happened.
I think readers will see the ending coming, but the tension ratchets, ratchets, and ratchets throughout.
Good characterizations, and understanding of family dynamics, add value to a nail-biting story. I will look for more from Megan Abbott.
I listened to this on audiobook on loan from the New Castle-Henry County Public Library, and the storytelling benefits from a good reading by Lauren Fortgang. Worthwhile.
