No One You Know by Michelle Richmond
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Her sister was murdered. The killer was never found. Until now…

All her childhood Ellie Enderlin had lived in her sister’s shadow. But then Lily was murdered and their family changed forever.

Now, decades later, Ellie comes into possession of Lila’s lost notebook and has a chance to finally discover the truth about her sister’s death. But her search for justice will lead her to uncover her sister’s darkest secrets…

I really struggled with this novel. I always try to finish a book and give an honest review but I only managed to get to chapter 13 and then had to put it away. To be honest the storyline was so flimsy which alone made it hard to keep going. The main character Ellie is searching for who killed her sister Lila many years previously. Lila's college professor (after meeting with Ellie and pumping her for information) writes a book about the murder and then makes assumptions on who the killer is. Lila is a maths student and has kept a journal with complicated maths calculations and theories and this is so overworked in the chapters that I did manage to read that made it too tedious to bother with. Too wordy and mathematically intense for me - sorry this only gets a 1 star rating.

I would like to thank the publisher for sending this in exchange for an honest review.
