What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

An exhilarating novel about a family's devastating accident and the tangle of secrets and lies it reveals . . .

The holidays are here. The extended family has gathered. The cars are packed and the convoy sets off.

The cottage is a few hours' drive - but not everyone will live to see it . . .

For Jill, her three sons, their wives and children, a terrifying road crash will tear apart their family.

The crash will be an accident but the shattering that follows has been long coming.

Because at the heart of this family lies a secret - concealed, wrestled with, festering and harmful - and nothing now can stop it coming out.

But will any of them survive it?

The more I read, the quicker I turned the pages. Stunningly vivid characters torn apart by family secrets. Loved it.

At times dark and discomfiting, but always relatable and entertaining, with characters you feel you know, You Need To Know is stay-up-late addictive. The perfect holiday read.

Canberra Times

Nicola Moriarty has a gift for domestic drama, cracking pace, and skilful narrative timing

Sydney Morning Herald

Clever, tense and jam-packed with twists and turns you won’t see coming . . . while there’s quite a large cast of characters to follow, you never lose track of what’s happening thanks to Moriarty’s polished writing and character-work. Dark, twisty and utterly enthralling, You Need to Know is a gripping domestic thriller with Netflix written all over it. It is yet another unputdownable read from the very talented Nicola Moriarty

Better Reading

You Need to Know offers a tense, well-crafted storyline, interesting, multifaceted characters, and a sensational climax. I think Nicola Moriarty has found her niche in the Aussie domestic thriller genre

Book'd Out

Moriarty has delivered another gripping domestic drama about secrets, lies and fractured families. She builds the tension so expertly, with twists and turns leading towards one cracking end, that you may well need to see a chiropractor afterwards
