Review: IF YOU KNEW HER, by Emily Elgar

IF YOU KNEW HER, by Emily Elgar

Harper Audio - 2018

Narrated by Katey Sobey

My Rating (out of 5)

⭐⭐⭐1/2

A good book, but not particularly memorable.

Cassie has secrets.  When she is the victim of a hit and run, she is admitted to ICU, comatose and clinging to life. Even in hospital though, it seems Cassie is still in danger.
Alice the head nurse takes an interest in Cassie and what happened to bring her to hospital.

Frank is also on the same ward.  As everyone continues with their day to day activities, nobody realizes that Frank is not comatose - not completely.  He can hear every word

A lot happens around Cassie's bedside. A lot is said around Cassie's bedside. Frank might be the only one who could save her - if he could only communicate what he knows.

While I enjoyed the book, it just isn't likely that I will give it much thought over time.  For me it just seemed to lack a little in intensity for a thriller. 

I enjoyed the characters though. The story in written in multiple points of view, and as such the reader gets to know several characters. I particularly liked Frank and his story. It is in Frank's story that I see the real talent of the author.

The narrator was quite good.  Her array of voices, accents and emotions made listening along to this story easy and enjoyable.

Happy Reading,

Christine
