PRAISE FOR OLIVIA ISAAC-HENRY

An excellent debut with a sinister sting. Reveals and plot twists delivered so skilfully that you wont know who to trust. Mel Sherratt

Someone You Know is such a compelling, page-turning read full of secrets, intrigue, and twists. Isaac-Henry has created a wonderful cast of characters I doubted almost all of them, but how wrong I was. Highly recommended. Elisabeth Carpenter

Someone You Know is a tale that evokes the well-used phrase a page turner but manages to do so without compromising on language or intelligence.
