If She Knew is a
great mystery book! I was able to read the book in about 3 hours. Not because
it was a simple read but because it held my attention. With each page turn,
more was added to the mystery and I eagerly wanted to see who the killer was. I
found Kate to be real as she struggles with how she defines her life now. She
longed for the adrenaline of her job with the FBI but she also considered her
daughter, her new grandchild and her own personal desires outside the job. The
book was fast-paced, with great twists and turns and a shocking end like any
great mystery should have. I highly recommend If She Knew!
