**Almost unbearably tense, chilling and addictive . . . Exceptional' - Paula Hawkins, author of Girl on the Train/b>b>/b>b>A mother knows best . . . doesn't she?/b>Talented and determined, Devon is the centre of her ambitious parents' world, and the lynchpin of their marriage. There is nothing Katie and Eric wouldn't do for her.When a violent hit-and-run accident sends shockwaves through their close-knit community, Katie is immediately concerned for her daughter, a rising star of the gymnastics world. She and Eric have worked so hard to protect Devon from anything that might distract or hurt her. That's what every parent wants for their child, after all. Even if they don't realize how much you've sacrificed for them. Even if they are keeping secrets from you . . . Plotted with all the brilliance of Dare Me, and written with the compassion of The Fever, the astonishing You Will Know Me - dark and tender by turns - is an unforgettable novel by Megan Abbott.

I'm a huge fan of Megan Abbott and loved You Will Know Me just as much as her previous explorations into the dark, disturbing, strangely heroic world of teenage girls. She's the queen of the uncanny analogy (someone carves a ham, 'pink as a newborn') and knows just how to draw the reader into the characters' dangerous, painful lives and how to make those lives mysterious. Her newest novel is intriguing and entertaining from the first page.

Préface
A perfect daughter. A tragic accident. A deadly secret . . . You Will Know Me is Megan Abbott's most sensational psychological thriller yet.

'Tense, chilling and addictive . . . exceptional' Paula Hawkins, bestselling author of The Girl on the Train

Katie and her husband have made their daughter Devon the centre of their world. Talented, determined, a rising gymnastics star, they've always put her first and want her to succeed at any cost.

When a young man dies in a shocking hit-and-run, the close-knit community is left reeling and Katie can't help seeking answers. Was it simply a tragic accident or is someone lying? When the truth threatens to destroy the future she has sacrificed everything for, Katie discovers there's nothing she wouldn't do to protect her family.

A mother knows best . . . doesn't she?
