MACMILLAN, GILLY I KNOW YOU KNOW
William Morrow 2018 0062698605 / 9780062698605 PAPERBACK .
William Morrow 9/18/2018. New paperback. Releases 9/18/18. Pre-order today! Store pick: I Know You Know is framed through a series of true crime podcasts produced by Cody Swift, whose two best friends were murdered 20 years earlier, when they were just 10 years old. Cody is convinced the man who was convicted of their murders was not guilty and hopes that time will uncover facts that weren’t discovered then. Coincidentally, as the podcast starts the bones of a long missing man are discovered near the spot that the boys’ murder took place. Detective Fletcher, one of the two detectives who discovered the murdered boys 20 years earlier is given the new case. The story switches back and forth from 20 years ago to present and is told mainly from the view point of Cody, Detective Fletcher, and Jessica Paige, the mother of one of the murdered boys. Cody is vigilant in trying to find the truth, even when being threatened and told to stop. Or, does he have an ulterior motive? Jess, who has a new life with a husband and 16 yo daughter, has not told her daughter about the son she had when only 16. She has vowed to be a real mother to Erica and is riddled with guilt because of how neglectful she was as a very young mother. Or, is she riddled with guilt because she actually had something to do with harming her son? Fletcher has always been overly ambitions and has ignored procedure to accomplish what he thought was justice. But, was he a good guy who just wanted to catch the bad guy or was he corrupt? Gilly MacMillan gives us a thrilling saga that spans 20 years, a saga you are immediately pulled into. Switching back and forth from the past to the present lets you really get to know the characters and why they developed as they did. You will go from loving them to hating them and back again until you finally find out their true character and what really happened 20 years ago. -Nancy M., store volunteer

MACMILLAN, GILLY PERFECT GIRL
William Morrow 2016 0062476769 / 9780062476760 PAPERBACK .
William Morrow 9/6/2016. New paperback. Store pick, recommended by Nancy M.: 14 year old Zoey Maisey was a gifted pianist – a child prodigy – when a tragic accident changed her life in a way she could not imagine. She discovered that telling the truth when others lie doesn’t always lead to justice and she was convicted of a horrific crime and spent 9 months in a secure facility for what she maintains to this day was an accident. Her mother and father divorce and her father has nothing more to do with her. They move to a new town and begin their ‘second chance’ life. Three years later her mother is dead and Zoey is a suspect. Everyone’s secrets and lies are slowly revealed and Zoey realizes that sometimes you have to do wrong if it is the only way to make things right. The Perfect Girl is a beautifully written story with a heartbreaking plot. It is told from several narratives, unfolding methodically to give us a gripping and complex story… a psychological thriller… a story of second chances or maybe even third chances… a book I could not put down. -Nancy M., store volunteer

MACMILLAN, GILLY WHAT SHE KNEW
William Morrow 2018 0062691007 / 9780062691002 PAPERBACK .
William Morrow 1/30/2018. New paperback. Store pick: The story telling in this debut psychological thriller is captivating. It is the story of a mother’s anguish and desperation when her 8 year old son runs ahead on a trail on an ordinary Sunday afternoon walk in a park and vanishes. It is the story of the lead detective which is told partly in sessions he has with a psychologist because of the toll the case took on his personal life. It is a story of family and friends and secrets they have been keeping that are slowly revealed. And it is the story of how the media and the public are quick to point fingers and assign blame as shown through newspaper clippings and blog entries. But, most of all it is a story of a mother’s love and her strength and will to push everything aside and do anything to bring her son home. -Nancy M., store volunteer
