Book Review: "What You Don't Know" by Bianca Sloane

Everything falls apart in just a split second in this taut, suspenseful thriller by Bianca Sloane.

It was just another Saturday morning. Malcolm Gilbert is about to leave for his weekly golf game; his wife, Blair, has a hair appointment. The two have been arguing a little (well, Blair has) but nothing major.

The doorbell rings. Malcolm answers the door, and everything changes. At the door are three people who want to take all they can from the Gilberts. And they’ll stop at nothing to get what they believe is coming to them. But why are they there? Was their appearance at random or was someone behind it?

What You Don’t Know chronicles what happens in the Gilbert household over a 48-hour period. Interspersing real-time narrative with interview snippets from friends and family of the Gilberts as well as the investigators and a true crime writer, you watch everything unfold as it happens.

This was quite a thriller! Even though some elements seem familiar, Sloane weaves them together in her own way, creating a book you can’t stop reading. It was really tense and intense at times, but in a suspenseful way.

I was a little distracted by the switching back and forth between the story and interviews at first, but as the story picked up the pace, the interviews enhanced it. Sloane knows how to ratchet things up as the story moves forward!

I was excited to be part of the blog tour for this book. Kate Rock Book Tours and Bianca Sloane provided me a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an unbiased review. Thanks for making it available!

The book publishes 9/23.
