Don't I Know You? by Karen Shepard
3.0
In 1976, Gina Engel is killed in her apartment. Her young son Steven wonders if he knows the killer. Lily Chin is about to marry her dream man until a strange woman appears. Does her fiance have something to do with Gina? Louise Carpanetti, reaching her elder years, thinks back to Gina's murder - and the phone call Gina made in her final minutes. Is it possible that Louise's son killed Gina?
This was sort of a quiet creepy book. It's pretty unsettling in that it makes you feel like you can never really know a person. I liked that Shepard switched narratives just as each was heating up and coming to a resolution. I really liked the ending - I didn't see it coming. I'm not really sure how other reviewers think there wasn't a resolution - it's pretty clear in that final chapter what conclusions one is supposed to draw. Interesting and quick read.
