Über diesen Titel

**Preorder Can You Keep A Secret? The next novel from Karen Perry, today**

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audio edition of Only We Know by Karen Perry, read by Brian Fenton, Niamh Daly and Marcella Riordan.

In 1982, on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday beneath the stifling heat of the midday sun, three children start a game that ends in tragedy.

Now, thirty years later, Nick, Luke and Katie are estranged, yet still bound together by the dark truth of what happened at the river that day.

Except some secrets won't stay buried.

And when Luke suddenly vanishes and the threatening messages begin, it seems that the strings of the past are tightening around them all. Because someone else knows what they did and is intent on seeking justice, at any cost . . .

Kritikerstimmen

The book is beautifully written, with just the right balance of teasing the reader with clues and hitting them with revelations (Best Crime Fiction of 2015)
The power of Only We Know lies in the slow illumination of how, under their flimsy cloaks of adulthood, Katie and Nick and Luke are still the traumatised children of a long-ago day by a river, frozen in time by one event. It raises fascinating questions about who we are at heart, about the degree to which damage and guilt can shape our natures, and about whether - and how - we can be redeemed (Tana French)
Only We Know builds handsomely on the promise of The Boy That Never Was, plausibly and hauntingly exploring the extent to which guilt, shame and secrecy can shape, define and eventually destroy lives (Declan Burke)
This is an intense and subtle story with some wonderfully poetic passages and a character driven plot which becomes more compelling as the sense of momentum gathers and the true version of events is slowly revealed. Gripping stuff (Sunday Mirror)
Don't be surprised if you devour Only We Know in one sitting (Crime Fiction Lovers)
Praise for The Boy That Never Was
I shot through this in one sitting. Like Gone Girl . . . It's the most gripping thing I've read for ages
Stunning (Simon Mayo Radio 2 Book Club)
A truly remarkable novel. The Boy That Never Was is a pitch-perfect balance of driving plot and honest, complex human emotion. Written in a captivating, lyrical style and brilliantly structured, the story grips your heart from the first pages and simply never lets go (Jeffrey Deaver)
Beautifully written, tense and twisty tale

When the end finally came, I have thought, I'd killed myself if I had to listen for 5 more minutes. Shortly after the beginning a terrible event in the childhood of three people was indicated. Then the story developed incredibly slow. For the most part one had to listen for hours how awful the three of them and others felt until today because of 'that thing' that was revealed only at the end. I didn't get the clue. Ok, they felt horrible, that is comprehensible. And that's the story? For hours! To me it rather seems the author needed to come to terms with something of her own past. I hope she succeeded, because then the book has had one positive effect at least. Clear recommendation from my side: Only buy the book, if you are interested in hours of gruelling self-reflection.

Deadly boring
