Catching the killer is just the beginning in the outstandingly dark debut, What You Don't Know, from rising grip-lit star, JoAnn Chaney. Do you really know your neighbours? Jacky Seever was a beloved local businessman and pillar of the Denver community. Until thirty-one bodies were discovered in the crawlspace of his house. Detective Paul Hoskins was lauded for bringing down one of the most ruthless serial-killers of the decade. Sammie Peterson, the lead reporter on the case, finally obtained the success she craved. And Seever's wife, Gloria? Well, she claimed to be as surprised as everyone else. But when you get that close to a killer, can you really just move on?

What You Don't Know took me from “do i really want to read this” to “can't put it down” to “I can't believe it ended that way. The pace, especially at the beginning was annoyingly slow. The meat of it really had me wondering who the new serial murderer was. In the end, I was quite surprised but it didn't seem it should be that person. Usually when I don't care for the characters, I have a tendency to stop reading. But the characters were so compelling unlikable for me I continued reading to find any redeeming qualities. Overall, it's a good read and I think would be a great book club discussion.
