Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where the participants tell their readers about an upcoming release they are waiting to read. This week I've picked You Will Know Me by Megan Abbott.
Katie and Eric Knox have dedicated their lives to their fifteen-year-old daughter Devon, a gymnastics prodigy and Olympic hopeful. But when a violent death rocks their close-knit gymnastics community just weeks before an all-important competition, everything the Knoxes have worked so hard for feels suddenly at risk. As rumors swirl among the other parents, revealing hidden plots and allegiances, Katie tries frantically to hold her family together while also finding herself drawn, irresistibly, to the crime itself, and the dark corners it threatens to illuminate.
From a writer with "exceptional gifts for making nerves jangle and skin crawl," (Janet Maslin) YOU WILL KNOW ME is a breathless rollercoaster of a novel about the desperate limits of desire, jealousy, and ambition.

Megan Abbott's novels that I've read so far - Dare Me, The End of Everything and The Fever have all wowed me with their atmospheric quality and equally captivating and disturbing storylines. I've been looking forward to her next novel for a long time, and certainly am looking forward to this one!
Ooh, this looks pretty good! *adds to TBR*
ReplyDeleteIt does! Definitely a thriller I can't wait to get my hands on :)
