What do readers think of I'd Know You Anywhere by Laura Lippman? Write your own review.

Wow...another remarkable read by Laura Lipmann. Ms. Lippman has excellent portrayals of the characters, a great storyline, and vivid descriptions of situations and gripping scenes. You can just feel the emotions of each character.

A perfect family, a tranquil life and then......after 20 years a letter arrives in the mail. Not a friendly letter, but one from someone you would not want to remember.

Eliza lives with her husband and two children in Maryland and has a secret from her teenage years that she wants to forget, but the letter brings the nightmare back and also brings a decision about whether to reply or just ignore the communication.

After she makes a decision, a phone call from the sender, along with his continued, manipulative influence further complicates the situation.

We, the readers, relive Eliza's nightmare of the terror and control she had to endure as we also follow Eliza in her present life.

“There was a bond. He could make her do anything. Wasn’t that proof of something between them? He had granted her life.” Page 276

My rating is 5/5 – you won’t want to put it down. It is pretty intense and frightening how someone could have such power over another human being.
